Some function work and some don't. On control of TV cannel up and down as well as volume up and down work ok but the control of menu of color increase or any other function worked to incease but would not allow decrease. I have another unit to access...

There are much better remotes on the market. I mistakenly purchased this one because of it's claimed functions and it's price tag. It does a poor job of controlling any newer components and seems to be suited for OLD electronics without menu's or...

Stay away from this one. While it did control my Aiwa shelf system, Sony DVD, RCA VCR, and Philips TV, it only supported some features of each and not others. On my TV menu, it would scroll through menu items one way, but not the other. When...

This just goes to show you that even a little research pays off. This remote looks very nice and is backlit, but it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. It wouldn't work for my Denon AVR-3300 ( a very popular receiver) or my Sony MiniDisc...

I was very excited to receive my jensen remote control. It was pretty easy to program, nice backlighting. But could not get it to work with my denon avr900, which rendered it useless to me. So sad, I sent it back to amazon, which very kindly paid the...

Product worked great except it would not control my cable box (General Instruments - digital cable) I called the support phone and once they answered they told me it would not work on my cable box, but I could return it. For the price it wasn't worth...
