I thought the Logitech 550 was hard to program, but this one takes the cake. After about an hour last night, of struggling to program it, I finally decided to go to bed. Tonight, I'm call Sony Tech Support to see if they can help. If not, it goes back. from Circuitcity.com The device recognized my Dish remote, Samsung TV remote, and Panasonic sound remote with no problems. Ironically, it had no clue about the remote for my Sony Blu-Ray DVD player. from Circuitcity.com I bought this remote because it was a Sony . Sony always gives good products, but not this oneI bought the thing for $1290.00 , not surprise it is now selling for 40 add dollarsVery hard to set up as for macros forget it. from Circuitcity.com Pros: Bright screen, well-lit buttons Cons: Poor programming, lacks needed buttons, limited macros The Bottom Line: If you have all Sony electronics, it might be decent, but it doesn't play well with others. from Shopping.com I just replaced 3 remotes, controling 4 different devices. It is has an extremely nice/expensive look and feel. I like the key lighting and LCD display at the top. Programablility is nearly limitless. from Newegg.com Read all the reviews, but for $21, said WTH and was prepared for the worst. Loaded the software on the laptop in front of the TV, gathered up all the remotes. Except for 1 remote, Onkyo HTS, RM-AX1400 had the codes. However, on the Sony DVD player, only the basic functions worked and I ended up assigning around 10 keys. from Amazon.com The software is more difficult to use than Logitech's. I was going to return it tonight after work by the Philips touch screen model, but no one sells it around me. Anyway, I called Sony Tech SUpport and they assured me that they can help me this evening over the phone. Also, Chrisell's review is just about the most helpful review I've ever seen posted anywhere about anything. from Amazon.com I bought this remote after reading all of the reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere on the net. The two biggest beefs seem to be the 'almost impossible to use software' and how the remote doesn't feel good in your hand. After I received this remote, I installed the software(very small program), connected my remote via the included USB cable, and within 15 minutes I had it almost perfectly configured to work with my Yamaha receiver, DVD player, Sony TV, and satellite receiver. It took an additional 10 minutes to program the buttons that were missed by the wizard. from Amazon.com This is where the helpfile falls apart but it's actually pretty easy. On the 'Edit actions' screen there's another 'learn' button right at the bottom - click it and go through a manual learn process for that one button and voila - done. The 'Edit actions' screen is also where the real power of the RM-AX1400 comes into play because here you can assign aliases to any other key already programmed and add delays. You can also stack up codes, aliases and delays together - effectively ANY key on the remote can become a macro. from Amazon.com In setting this up you connect it to your USB port on your computer and you really need to have your computer in the same room as you do a lot of testing to insure it works. In setting up the express I had to edit everything that the setup wizard did. It was strange that I have a Sony TV and to change the Input you need to push the Input button, a menu comes up and then you select your source. The wizard asked me exactly how does my TV get the input and then in operation it only just selected input and never selected anything in the menu However in edit mode I can fix this. from Amazon.com
