I bought this remote because I needed to replace a broken TV remote that had the Guide Plus control buttons.

good luck on trying to program this for a tv that's not an rca, it is nearly impossible.

One For All URC-1030

$4.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
for me it's a stereo with 2 cd players, a dvd player, a vcr (yeah - still a bit lost in the 80's) and, thanks to the learning capability, it's running my television that there aren't any remote codes
from www.amazon.com
the fact that it can learn commands from other ir remotes enabled me to control my old sony multi-system tv.
from www.amazon.com
for example to watch a dvd i've been able to set it up so that the remote sets the tv to dvd input then turns on the dvd player.
from www.amazon.com
using two remotes, the old one and the one that comes with tivo, just fine, although it was inconvenient to have to find the old remote just to raise or lower the volume or turn on and off the tv.
from www.amazon.com
there aren't many bells and whistles, but it does exactly what i need it to do: control a sony tv, a comcast motorola cable box, a panasonic dvd player, and a samsung vcr.

(i have two signals leaving the dvr, one to a nearby tv and one that is carried to the office.) the remote works great for this purpose.
from www.amazon.com
The RF/IR Extender unit works well behind closed doors, and the IR signal is actually able to `bounce' off of the interior of the doors and control our receiver, DVD & VCR.

it even has tv guide information right on your remote!
from www.pricegrabber.com
it's a great remote that finally delivers on the "universal" promise - and is easy to set up, use and customize as needed.
from www.circuitcity.com
i'd been searching for a remote control that 'could do everything.' and i had a dream of a remote control that was function-oriented ('watch tv' watch vcr) instead of device-oriented.
from harpitect, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: if you need to control multiple components, in a home theater setup for example, the harmony 676 is a good choice.
from www.pricegrabber.com
the 676 comes with 2 extra coloured plated (red and blue) which may come in handy if it matches your home theater.

- a poorly designed product, can't read the display, can't push the buttons, can't predict what is going to happen or when the camera is going to lock up after you push them.

from myuseraccount, www.shopping.com
The Bottom Line: It's decent, especially with TVs and Sony devices.
from tomhorn, www.shopping.com
The Bottom Line: A basic, solid remote for a reasonable price.
from sahammondsr, www.shopping.com
Cons: misleading packaging, doesn't operate listed equipment, phone support didn't even try (either knows the listings on the package are incorrect OR does not care if the remote ever works).
from velcros, www.shopping.com
The Bottom Line: Unless you love pressing lots of tiny buttons and guessing when your components might work, then I suggest you look elsewhere than Sony for a decent remote replacement.
