 Excellent control January 29, 2007
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Very well-designed control. Both IR and RF functions are flawless. Easy to set up, easy to "learn" any command from any other remote (for example, it didn't come with a code for my Sanyo PLV-80 projector, but I was able to get it to learn ALL the Sanyo remote's commands -- like lens shift, input, focus, etc.-- in less than 3 minutes!) The optional base station works very well, but its antenna should not be too close (1 foot) to any component or DVI cables (otherwise it picks up spurious signals and blocks out the remote's RF transmissions). I use mine from 50 feet, through walls. What a refreshing change after my Logitech Harmony--which is a royal pain to program, by webpage wizards!!! I purchased mine as a set with the base station at B & H Photo for 99.95.

I've owned a number of different programmable remotes over the years and this one is the by far the most versatile. I have a number of non-standard components like an iPod dock with a video interface and I was able to program this remote to handle it. The only frustation that I have is that I can't figure out how to move or rename the main component list Other than that it works very well.
Good remote, but it's a killer to program,... October 24, 2007

The RF20 is a pretty good remote, but it's a killer to program, esp the Macros. No lie took me ALL DAY and 4 Calls to Technical Support to program the thing. I have to say,URC's Technical Support Dept. was VERY HELPFUL one of the best and got me through it though. The instruction book seems to have everything needed listed but for some reason I found it hard to follow and somewhat annoying to read.
The remote's got a few quirks like it may take a few attempts to get it to learn from your other remotes, and having to come all the way out to square 1 to see if your learned commands took, but nothing I couldn't live with...Beats having 8 remotes on the coffee table. One thing though, my girlfriend hates the thing, feels its too complicated bouncing through the menus...so I guess this solves who controls the remote issue...LOL.
Once programed works well,I'd recommend it's purchase.

Buttons feel like they should. From the feel of this remote it is built for the long term.
One of the easiest to program in learning mode.
All buttons are backlit!

Perfect for my less than techno savvy wife January 1, 2008

My wife complained about all the remotes on her end tables. I bought this for her. I just got done programming it for her and she loves it. Considering how old some of my equipement is I really got a charge out of the learning ability of this remote. I kept my wife in the room so she could pick out which button on the remote did what she wanted. I took me about an hour but it was time well spent. I truely recommend this for the husband who is techno savvy with a wife that isn't.
