Best Universal Remote Controls for Background

there is really not much i would change about this product and it is a must have for anyone whose xbox 360 is a central component of their home theater.

it's great as i use my 5.1 system for dvd's and 360 so i want the av receiver to control the volume for those, but for the wii and a vcr tape, i want the volume control to be on the tv.

it was still necessary to go to the television or use the tv remote to switch inputs to switch from tv or vcr to dvd.

i mean, come on, if you have a remote to watch tv you can probably see, and you don't need a noise to let you know it is charging.

.for example i press cabletv and it turns on my tv it turns on my home theater system and it turns on my cable box all on the right settings.the only disadvantage is that if for whatever reason it

my wife now loves the home theater and uses it every day because she can.

but this is minor, considering my primary purpose was to control my home theater system.

i have a standard home theater setup - projector, dvd, receiver, cable box, screen - it handled most of these very well.

we have put the original 6 remotes for our components and tv in a drawer and can usually get by with just using the harmony remote to operate our tv, blu ray player, denon receiver, surround sound

then select which device you are trying to control (tv, dvr or dvd, etc) and select (from a drop-down list) the function you want to add.

i have it programmed to operate my scientific atlanta hd cable box (time warner), apple tv, sony ps3 (with optional sensor), sony receiver, and samsung 46" b8000 led.

i find the off-screen button functions and single-handed usage of the one particularly helpful in the dark, if i'm fumbling trying to turn the television off if i had fallen asleep watching something

just purchased a new tv and thought that it was about time i had a universal remote to control all my various components: tv, sony home theater, jvc vcr (we still use it to watch old home videos of

had about 4 remotes i had to toggle between to switch all the inputs on the tv and reciever all the time and it got tobe annoying..so i decided to buy this remote and consolidate everything into one.

say you want to watch dvd, you just program this as an activity on your remote, so when you press that one button it will turn on your dvd, tv - set the correct input for tv and turn on audio receiver

the remote would set the tv inputs to whatever it randomly wanted, but after and hour on the the phone with level 2 support, its working perfectly now.
