Universal Remote suggestions


Any suggestions for a universal, learning remote? I've been looking into the Philips Prontos, the Marantz RC5200 and RC9200 and the Sonys, but have read and heard conflicting reviews on all of these.

I'm tired of having so many remotes sitting about (and getting misplaced). While almost every remote I have claims to be "Universal," there are no codes for my EAD processor or Arcam DVD, so it's time to get a good learning remote. Any suggestions?

I feel your pain. I too bought at least
3 Universal/Learning remotes, and yet NONE of them could work my Picture In PIcture(PIP), OR my DSP surround on my
TV! These were the RCA units that you get at Best Buy,
for around $50. Not to mention that my old
Panasonic vcr remote DOESN`T have an eject button,
and the Learning remote wouldn`t work that either.
Granted, my TV is a Toshiba from 1991. I called RCA, and they said that some of the codes from `90-`91 WON`T work
with their "new" codes. I realized that I`m better off
using my 5 remotes than paying for a remote that doesn`t
do half of what I want it to do.
