The Bottom Line: It's a very good choice, provided you understand the limits of its programming capabilities.

Pros: GREAT! uses all devices! actually learns their functions! PRICE--who needs a harmony?

Cons: none at all!

Review: I didn't know there was something like this out there until I needed it! With all the new brands of flat panel tvs out there, this is a great choice so that you can combine all those remotes into one. This thing was a lifesaver--or at least it kept me ...

Cons: Time-consuming to program, but worth it.

Cons: The manual could include more explicit information. No button that resembles "record"

Review: This is the first remote I found that will do the Channel Guide for the Star Choice 205 satellite receiver. The RCA remote just shut down the Learning function when I tried to teach the guide button. Also does everything for the TV Very happy with it ...

Review: I purchased this device for use with a CDP-C335 Sony cd changer - only. edit The Sony cd player I own, CPD-C335, evidently, does not have a native remote on-off function. I purchased a used original remote. Works great, except for not ...
