Title: Pretty decent remote, but...
Product review: The CON's:I bought this remote after returning a URC-8910 from the same company and several unsuccessful attempts to get the 8910 to work with my JVC combo DVD+/-RW VCR unit. My hope was that this URC-6820 was a more modern remote and might natively support devices the 8910 did not. I was wrong. I haven't gotten to it yet, but it looks like I will have to "learn" all the functions of my JVC remote to the URC-6820.The PRO's:Packed with features for the price. The unified power on/off is an especially nice feature. Some more excellent features:- More buttons can be retasked than the 8910.- Much larger memory cache for learned buttons and macros.- Runs on 2 rather than 4 batteries and holds custom settings properly when replacing batteries.- Nice "heft" and balance in the hand. Controls well placed.- JP1.2 interface for PC programming (haven't tried this yet but it looks like some serious geek fun).
