Customer Reviews of RCA Universal Remote (RCR450) (RCR450)

Powerful and easy to use remote replaces three others.
It's a shame another reviewer did not carefully read page 8 in the instruction manual about "Menu Mode". It would have been found that the menu arrow direction buttons (+/- channel & volume) do work just fine to make menu selections. I bought this remote for my 92 year old legally blind mother just because of the large size buttons and then set it up to control an RCA tv and Toshiba dvd. I was so impressed I then bought one for our family to control a Zenith tv, RCA vcr and a Cyberhome dvd. This eliminated 3 remotes with over a hundred buttons with one of just 30. All the menu selection functions work just fine on all three devices. I highly recomend this remote. (P.S. I couldn't get the menu buttons to work either for a couple of hours until I finally read the above mentioned page.)

Terrible design - Avoid!!
RCA chose to save a few pennies by combining the menu arrow button functionality with the Channel/Volume control buttons. This results in terrible usability. As such, when selecting "Menu" this RCA product (RCR450 Universal Remote) goes into this retarded "Menu-mode" in which you cannot select any option in the menu. Following the instructions in the manual to exit the retarded mode results in a situation where you cannot exit the menu. This remote is going back. Like ALL RCA products, this is no different. I'll exchange it for one from a real brand like Sony. DO NOT RECOMMEND - AVOID!!!!
