WOW… I just got this remote.
I have a conglomeration of entertainment devices consisting of:
1. an 'old' (for me it's new) flat screen RCA that was given to me …but no original remote. I had an old universal remote that sort-of worked.
2. a refurbished OLD dvd/vcr combo unit…with no controls on the box itself and no remote works with it. I have been stuck at the opening credits on anything if I have to choose what I want to do. Opening credits h*ll. No menu options. (Note: putting your face down next to the combo and screaming "PLAY DAMN YOU, PLAY" does not work.)
3. a refurbished Roku.
So, I had the universal remote for the tv to power on/off with volume control and changing the source, and I have a crappy replacement Roku remote that you basically have to point DIRECTLY at the infra receptor (no slight turn to the left right, up or down is acceptable. It is a cruel master) and as mentioned, nothing for the dvd/vcr combo unit. A useless thing that takes up space, dangerously close to being scrapped. This new remote was it's very last chance.
I AM the island of misfit devices.
The remote came. I was skeptical. Nothing else had ever worked.
The code for the tv worked!! First attempt!! OMG tv WITH features. Then, amazingly…ROKU compatibility!!! Again, first attempt!! I was laughing out loud at each success.
and then…first attempt on the combo – The seller here VERY kindly sent me a suggested code when I asked about it- …I CAN NOW WATCH DVDs!!! I CAN CHOOSE MY OPTIONS. I CAN FINALLY EXERCISE WITH JILLIAN MICHAELS!! (oh… dang…I may not have thought this through properly…)
I am sitting in a world of wonder right now.
* One remote to rule them all. One remote to bind them. One remote to work them all, and in the couch to find them. *
I am thrilled not only with the help of the seller (thank you!!) but also with the ease and excellent results of this remote.
