Review: | I originally went to Best Buy to get the Theater Master MX500 for $169. When my brother and I got there to my dismay they had sold out. My bro and I talked it over for a few minutes and looked at all the other remotes they had on display. I saw the touchscreen Sony and some cheaper models. I then saw the RCA RCU810. I saw the price for $59 and immediately thought that this could not be a nice remote (I'm sorry, I have a bad habit of initially rating how nice something is by how much it cost). Anyway, I came to the conclusion that I could always bring it back so why not give it a try. I have a Pioneer receiver, RCA SAT receiver, Toshiba 53" tv, Toshiba DVD, Phillips VCR and General Instruments cable box for local channels. I would say it took me about 30 minutes to get everything initially set up. Of course I tweaked non-essential buttons for a couple of days to get everything just right. What I am most happy with is that the IR Learner feature can be used on just about any button, not just previously designated buttons. I have a All In One AV800 as well and paid about $30 more for it and doesn't do nearly as well as the RCA. With the All In One, you have to either have it set up for Cable or SAT, but cannot use both...that's a feature that's really nice with the RCA..it has both Cable button and SAT button for those people w/ SAT without local channel service who have to go through local cable company. I have yet to find out what the RCA won't do. As far as no touchscreen..to me that is an absolute complete silly waste of money. Most touchscreen products fail in a matter of a year or so anyway..too many electronic parts inside to go wrong and weaken over time. I don't make buying decisions based on how much I can save, and I would highly recommend this remote whether you're cost conscious or seriously in to your electronic components. |
