Is Philips serious!?!?!?!? This thing is a beast!!!
By HTGUY713
Before I begin my review I’d like to list my gadgets that this remote control operates.

1. Insignia 50″ plasma tv
2. Insignia Blu-Ray player (NS-WBRDVD)
3. Sony STR-DN1000 A/V reciever
4. Xbox 360 ( remote code is “1611″)
5. HP laptop(very basic controls)

After purchasing the 2 Insignia productions I was in remote control hell! Nothing seemed to be compatible with their devices. I was in a literal sense fumbling amongst 3 controllers, a game controller, and most times a mouse I before I found this little gem.
I contacted Insignia regarding a remote they commend to control their widgets I was told that I would have to buy a logitech harmony……….Kinda discomfited the intent of buying a for less brand to start out with right?

I succumbed to the idea of buying an highpriced remote decisive I’d swing by wally-world since they carried a $40 logitech remote. Right next to the harmoniousness I saw this Philips. Out of curiosity I equated the buttons amid this one and the logitech and everything was identical. The only divergence was that the concord could control 4 gimmicks and the philips could control 7. Obviously logitech has an extraordinary device library to program their remotes but after examining the package I speedily learned that this was a programmable remote. I abandoned my reservations and decisive to try this out.

Lucky me!

TV, Xbox, and receiver were all programed with great success on the introductory attempt! The only thing that I had to program into the remote was the blu-ray player. I programed all the blu-ray buttons, and a few of the buttons from my sony receiver that were missing, in beneath 5 minutes. I also established the home theater receiver as the necessary audio source within that time frame. The manual was easy to read and programing the controls into the remote was the easiest thing.

I purchased this thing for in regards to $17 with tax and it did everything a hundred dollar remote promises that only IT may do. BTW after looking through the device list, this Philips remote may likewise control digital picture frames and household switches! SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t have a cable box or satellite but the list of brands it controls was extensive.

My only complaints are that the back light only lights up a few of the buttons and the direction/enter buttons make “click” noises.

I have to tip my hat to the folks at philips. You guys made a pretty remote that packs knock out punching power and costs less than the substitute battery for a high end remote!

Works outstanding with all my devices
By L. KENG
I got this for $18 at Sears, and am so glad I did not spend a lots more on a Logitech Harmony… This Philips remote is awesome. It works with all my devices, which include:
1. Samsung 52″ LCD
2. Magnavix DVD-Recorder with HDD
3. XBox 360 (yeah!)
4. Philips HTS8100 Soundbar

Note: To get it to work with the HTS8100 (which is a sound system + DVD player), use the DVD mode for the DVD player, and use Aux mode for all others, i.e. TV input, MP3 input, etc.) Hope this helps someone.

An almost perfective remote
By Ryan B. Streeter
This remote does everything I need. I had a HDTV remote that was going out on me, and even in it’s death throes, this Philips remote was capable to “learn” commands from it that I would have lost eternally otherwise. It likewise had sufficient flexibleness to also learn commands from my Cable remote so that I don’t have to use my cable remote any longer (which is awesome).

It looks great, and feels great too. Looks very very nice and has a nice rubber feel to it.

The ONLY complaint that I have is with regards to the directional buttons at the top. They “click” when you push them down, so when you are searching through the guide or your TV’s menu you listen “click click click click click click click”.

Other than that, this is a HIGHLY commended solution for those of you in a predicament similar to mine!
