User Reviews for RCA Universal Learning RCU1010

Reviewed by: cwinland

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Handles multiple devices, backlit, responsive, label switching, learning

Weaknesses: Low learning memory, no custom labeling (only predefined labels), cannot find standard VCR/DVD controls or create special buttons.

Overall Evaluation: This is a nice remote, but it is lacking some primary features. I was impressed initially, but when I got down into it, I felt that it could be more customizable. For example, On DVD mode, I don't see standard VCR operations. I played around with the labels to get a record button and a fast forward/rewind button, but I still have not found a pause button.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Single-handed use; Backlight; Easy to use

Weaknesses: Not compatible with everything

Overall Evaluation: I like it. Got it for ~$35 shipped.I couldn't get it to learn the functions from my DVD player, but I found the code in the supplied instruction manual and it works now. I still can't get my notebook's remote to program. I did get it to learn my Bose though--no problems there. Didn't look for the codes on my Sony TV, it learned all the functions perfectly.It's got a macro function for multiple button programming with one function select. It's got timer features. You can program the length of signal output.It also lets me use the DVD buttons while the TV is selected--I can access the DVD player without having to switch back and forth on the function screen.Backlight is easy on the eyes.I can use it with one hand unlike my brother's HUGE Sony LCD remote which looks like some overgrown calculator.
