Perfect! Full use of DVD player now
This works perfectly. I easily programmed it using the first listed codes for DVD Player and TV. I wanted a compact design, not something huge and ugly. This is perfect. Compact, simple and cute. We needed this mainly so we could access the menu for our circa 2003 Zenith DVD player . With no remote (lost long ago) we could only push play, ff and rewind. With multi-episode discs especially a problem. Now we can do it all! Our family enjoys watching DVDs and VHS tapes. It just feels different than streaming: doesn’t hook into endless options which is good for our brains, and we enjoy borrowing DVDs from the library. I am going to try to program with our VCR as well, which is not necessary but will be a bonus if it works, and I’ll update review if it does.

Great basic remote! Worked with an odd duck of a TV
I have a LCD Envision TV that is a number of years old....and somewhere along the way the original remote devloped legs and ran away. I had tried using a spare universal remote from our FIOS box but it was simply incompatible. I had a Logitech unit and all programming was through a USB port on the nose of it which ended up breaking the connector, so I needed to find something else. This time It was simple... TV works for where I use it but I need a remote... and one that can control the TV and honestly a DVD player as well at most.....found this simple 3-device remote for about five bucks--- great price and controls everything as needed. I did try the simple setup but it didn't control everything correctly. Then I tried the codes and the first controlled some things right, the second worked everyrhing perfectly. So in the end it is a very basic remote that lacks the frills and coolness of others and trades it for simplicity and good function. Definitely would buy again if I need another basic remote.

Good Remote Glad for the Shift Key!
The remote works well to power on/off and control my Samsung TVs. I use Apple TV 4Ks on each TV, and on the slightly newer TV, all functions on the Apple TV work, so it turns my Samsung TV off and on just fine. I recently bought an Apple TV 4K for my slightly older Samsung TV, and the Apple TV remote turns off the TV reliably, but it will only turn the TV on if the TV has been on recently. If the TVs been off for an hour or so, the Apple TV remote won't turn the TV on. There are no new firmware updates for the TV. Enter this remote! When the Apple TV remote fails to turn on my TV (most of the time), I can power on the TV with this little remote instead of having to dig out the giant awful Samsung remote. I recently added an antenna to this older TV, and this remote lets me change source easily. As far as people complaining about the SLEEP button now being SHIFT, I'm glad for the shift button. It allows the channel and volume buttons to be used as arrow keys. This comes in very handy when I have to venture into the TV's menu. Good, inexpensive old school remote that just works, especially when new tech fails. Just buy it!

Great replacement remote for Panasonic VCR
This remote works with my Panasonic VCR. The directions were easy to follow, and the codes listed worked on the first try. It does not have a button for a VCR. I used the DVD button and that worked. It uses 2 AAA batteries that were not included. It doesn’t have a lot of functions- you cannot display the counter on the TV. The important functions- play, pause, stop, rewind, and fast forward work fine.

Pathetic Technical Support -- Don't Buy ANY RCA Remote Control Product
I attempted to use this controller with a Sansui TV. The programming code that I used was one of several listed on the document, enclosed with the remote. Once it was programmed, I was able to turn the TV on and off. Volume worked great. The number key pad also worked. I was able to use all of the functions, except for the MENU button. Pushing the button did nothing with the TV. What did happen was after pushing the MENU button, the controller would blink 23 times, and then rapidly blink 3 more times. I suspected that this was an error code and so I tried to contact RCA, using the webpage that is referenced on the package. On the webpage, there is a link to send an e-mail. So I generated the e-mail and sent it off, asking for help to determine if the remote is physically broke or if there is a programming error on their part. Three times, I received back an e-mail that basically stated that I needed to consult the remote programming instructions on the website. The same information that was already in the package that came with the remote. So the first time, I did take a closer look at the website and confirmed that there was not something else that they might be referring to. There was nothing else. Clearly, they didn't even bother to read my e-mail. I could tell because each reply that I received back from them was the exact same words. After this non-sense, I contacted Amazon and they said that they would send me a second controller to see if the problem might be specific to the one controller. I received the second controller and put in new batteries. It didn't work. I took a closer look at it and the contact springs for the battery compartment needed to be extended. I took a knife blade and extended the springs. Putting the batteries back in, the controller started working. Clearly, poor quality control. I programmed the second controller and received the same resulting blinking LED error code. It appears that there is a manufacturing programming error, and that this error exists within all of the controllers. It is a shame that this problem could not have been resolved at the vendor/manufacturer level. Instead, both Amazon and I have had to waste time TESTING the manufacturer's controllers. I have never had such a disappointing result with any product. I strongly urge anyone reading this review to go with some other vendor's product. Clearly, RCA's response to my support requests, is indicative of a company that really doesn't care about supporting the products that they sell. I would recommend that Amazon drop this vendor.

NO PODIA PRENDER LA TV, TAMPOCO CONTROLAR EL SONIDO NI LOS AUDIFONOS PORTATILES. CON EL CONTOL QUE ME SUMINISTRARON SE ACABARON MIS PROBLEMAS

Excelente control. Muy cómodo de usar. Trae códigos para diferentes marcas de dispositivos. Como mi TV es Samsung no lo tuve que programar porque es el código que ya trae asignado.
