Title: Highly Elaborate, Low on Utility
Review: What you gain in "cool" features like LCD touchscreen and computer interfacing, you lose in basic usability and functionality. Think about the features you most commonly use on your remote control; they should be instantly accessible. With this remote, you need to navigate through screens before you can control the right device.If you're really considering a decent programmable, universal remote for the money, I recommend the Sony AV2000. This remote has 12 dedicated buttons to quickly jump from one device to another. It also has dedicated Channel +/- and Volume +/- control buttons; the Channel conveniently changes to the track/chapter skip +/- function when you choose DVD or CD.The most serious shortcoming of the Sony remote, however, is that the display is hardly viewable without first activating the backlight. Nevertheless, give the Sony a try before you spend twice as much money on this remote.
