Title: "Universal?" NOT!
Product review: I bought this based on positive reviews. It worked with none of the following: A Techniques CD player, a Sherwood receiver, and a Vizio LCD TV. When "codes" were lacking for my devices (the case for all three of my components), it did not "learn" the functions from my other remotes. A very short list of codes is provided by Sony for various products (TVs, DVD players, etc). Codes supposedly program this remote to control other devices. Even had it "learned" from my other remotes, the procedure is complicated and cumbersome. This is the second "lemon" Sony product I have had in 30 years (the last being a Sony Trinitron TV in the 70's that died in a few years), so generally I look to Sony for quality and value. This product was a complete dud and unless you are lucky enough to have products that are on their short list of "coded" products, you may end up with a dust collector, as I did. Caveat emptor.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
