The Universal Remotes: Some Things To Consider

We probably all have about 8 "universal" remotes nowadays

. Each new component you buy comes w/ 1, but none of them are truly "universal" simply because there's usually some features on 1 device that the many other remotes do not have a button for. But wouldn't it be great to truly be able to make use of 1 distant for all your gadgets?

You will find so many various universals on the market nowadays that it is impossible to go over them all here. So I'll hit the high factors and let you decide. I will choose a couple of well-liked versions and go over a couple of factors that helped me decide for or against them. One thing you require to understand is what a 'learning' distant is. That means that you are able to set the remote to learn other remotes' signals: you set it to be ready, aim an additional remote at it, press a button on that remote and also the learning remote stores that signal.

Large LCD: Sony RM-AV3000 This distant was the 'big boy' on the block for a long time. It does it all and looks cool doing it. The two main draw backs to this model are size and buttons.

Because it is so big, it is tough to make use of w/ one hand - you can't reach across the remote to press some buttons or parts of the LCD. Next time you are watching TV, see how frequently you just use one hand on the distant and think about giving that up.This model used to be pretty expensive, but it's getting better.

Internet: Harmony SST-659 I haven't actually tried this one, but I get the concept and I like it. You are able to program this remote to work w/ your devices and upload the configuration. That way other people can use it. More directly, you can use other peoples' configurations! The point of this one is ease of use so I'm assuming it would be fairly straight forward to hook it up and plan it. Maybe just a little intimidating, but I bet most people could do it and it would be worth it.

I'd say the primary drawback here is price. Once it is setup, you probably wdn't need to go on the web w/ it again for months (until you bought a new component to control) so the hassle is limited.

Finally, setting up any universal remote is going to involve some studying and this one is most likely worth it as much or more than the other people if you're prepared to spend the cash.

Summary Take all issues into consideration when shopping for a universal remote: is it learning, macros, timer, size, shape, weight, price, buttons, setup, etc. What's essential to you?

Recommendation If you're prepared to invest the cash, I would get the Harmony. Otherwise, I would get the Sony VL1000 - it's (most likely) harder to setup, but so much cheaper and a fantastic remote.
