 Timer function needs improvement October 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this remote to avoid having to buy a new DVR with a HDTV tuner - so the timer function was the important feature for me. I am controlling a Pioneer DVR-640 and a HD convert box - Insignia NS-DXA1-APT. Now, I program about 12 shows on the DVR, and there are 8 timer slots on the Sony remote. The problem is for the Sony remote ON and OFF are separate events, so only 4 shows can be actually programmed! It can have separately named projects with their own timer programs, so that might help a little to overcome the small number of timer slots. I have to reconnect to the PC to swap the timer programs. The timer programming task is OK using the PC to set the events, but the task looks quite complex to do this by remote only - something like 13 steps for each of the ON and OFF events.
I found the following problems during programming: 1. I could not get it to recognize the type of the remote of any of my four devices automatically, instead I had to either guess at the preset code or manually program each key individually. 2. I found that some of the keys set by entering a preset code work ok individually, but not in a macro. If you have problems getting macros to work, try having the Sony remote learn the keys individually (delete the preset for the key first).
There is no printed manual provided so that means a lot of window swapping trying to read the manual in one window and work the program in another.

For sure you have to read the manual to understand how to program the remote unit. Make use of the setup CD to program your remote can prove easier via PC than manually learn the code from remote controllers. With PC setup, you can maximise the use of program xpress and airslide function.
The setup CD software able to store/backup the setting in case you lose the setting when changing battery.
Not recommended for consumer that prefer a off-the-shelf gadget and use it right-away.

I find the remote almost totally useless for my modern tv setup, (even if all the other units are sony. It is supposed to be touch screen,(it would take a hammer to fufil that designation. I have purchased a Harmony remote which is completely functional for all needs. the sony unit isin the corner gathering dust.
 Works Real Good with Sony Electronics May 30, 2008
the only problems i have with this remote are that it does not work with my sony cdr/cd player recorder, deck A plays cd's and the remote works with that deck, but deck B records cd's and the remote will not work with it. also this remote has no drivers or upgrade support for windows vista when you try to program the remote. thank goodness for my old pc that still uses windows xp. all in all im happy with my purchase.
