Not for everyone, but behold great features
What you must understand about this stellar device is that you cannot just purchase one and use it out of the box. You must have software to program it as well as a serial cable. These remotes were meant to be programmed by distributors and trained professionals. The software is mostly obtainable from URC directly if you request it through email and give them the serial number and model of your remote. You are still on your own As far as the serial cable is concerned, but can obtain one online. The software is pretty intuitive if you’ve ever programmed anything before, and even without instruction I got in there and was able to program three of these remotes for three different rooms and devices without any issue. The remote has your standard keys down on most universal remotes and it also has an LCD of more obscure commands that you can grab from the database or you can program yourself. Once programmed you will notice these remotes have a much better range than most standard remotes, especially if they have relatively fresh batteries in them. Of course as with any high-end remote, The strength comes in being able to program macros into the remote. Another feature is to be able to learn head to head from a more obscure remote in which the codes may not be in the older databases, e.g. sound bars, HDMI switches, etc. Of course, the software saves all your profiles to your computer so it is easy to do minor adjustments or add-ons and then re-upload them to the remote. Overall a great remote, but again it is not for the squeamish or those who don’t like tinkering with things. But if you want to unleash some great power this is the remote to get as long as you can obtain the software and cable.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Don't bother, the how-to sheet is beyond terrible delivering non-function
Instructions are TERRIBLE; out of any logical order and unclear. I've don't hundreds of delicate repairs, electronic and mechanical and while the product seems ok it is USELESS with the included 'instructions. The photos seemed helpful but did not help, in the end. I read and read them entirely, then again as I worked, doing my absolute best to understand them, but my partially working remote is now a brick.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Best I've owned
It isn't easy to get a copy of the software and learn to use it to program the remote but once you accomplish that this is the nicest remote I've ever owned. I love the position of the buttons and how it feels in hand and the macros make it very powerful. The manufacturer will not share the software, offers little support and will only refer you to an authorized dealer to program the remote for you at a fee. The main drawback is that it is dated and does not have device codes for newer components. The good nes is that it can learn codes one button at a time from another remote's infra-red transmitter.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I like these remotes
I bought this unit as a backup for my current one. Copying the setup file from my pc to the remote went without a hitch. The stop button wasn't working so I opened the case and cleaned the contacts and removed the rf board which was rattling around loose. I don't use that function so it wasn't needed. Now it's working great.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Thumbs up
I have been using this remote for years and love it. I bought this to replace my old one which had started to fail and new ones are too expensive. The pc interface is dated, it uses a serial port. A serial to usb adapter fixes that.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

looking foward to your suggestions on my issue
Not real happy with product. Improved the volume, but now the On and Off buttons need extreme pressure to operate, where I had no problems with these buttons before.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
