First, this is my first more expensive universal remote control (more than 25 Euro, of course, the first with an LCD screen, but more on that later), Secondly, I am referring here only to the atmosphere and will function, the basic data are well known.
My Devices, for more information:
TV: Samsung LC32C450
Cable Receiver: Humax DVR 9900C
AV receiver: Kenwood KRF-V5080D
DVD Player: LG DVX592H
Overall review:
+ Really realized all the devices without entering a code, self-explanatory operation on device
+ Initial setup of the device needs no manual, everything is explained beautifully with the LCD screen
+ Is good despite the relatively high weight in the hand and is high-quality (the keys are still in the dark well distinguishable (rubber, size of the keys)
+ The LCD screen (but no touchscreen, operation via three external buttons next to the screen)
+ Partially more features than on the original remote control
- Device via PC possible only via the MS Internet Explorer
- Pursued and vielbeworbene Konfiguraiton very time consuming on the PC, cumbersome and sometimes misleading to use
Conclusion: Looks good, feels great in your hand, really recognizes all key functions even my previous universal remote control, but the violent charge because of the LCD screen and the resulting admittedly very simple configuration is really not worth it.
Details:
All necessary basic functions of the devices are detected only by means of remote control, and the whole thing without entering any four-digit code. The user interface on the remote control is designed very intuitive and self-explanatory, all settings done via the LCD screen and the next lying buttons (but no touchscreen, on the sides of the screen each 3 keys are provided, similar to older ATMs): It sets the batteries and off you go.
More precise settings should (USB cable and installation CD are included) are made via the PC connection, here it is unfortunately quite cumbersome:
The setup of the remote control is running purely from web-based and requires ActiveX controls, ie: the whole thing really works only on Microsoft Internet Explorer (not eg with Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Google Chrome). Unfortunately, that is not mentioned on the purchase, but you will be redirected to the same installation from CD to Internet Explorer.
None of my model numbers was recognized specifically in spite web updates. Although everything worked with similar models, "One for all" should be loud advertisements have different needs ...
Update as of 19.07.2012:
Meanwhile, I have the device fond, but increasingly bother me one. While the buttons for playing videos in my view are arranged coated large, the navigation keys for almost all devices (up, down, left, right, ok) got extremely small and difficult to operate ...
