Philips Universal Remote Control Replacement for Samsung, Vizio, LG, Sony, Sharp, Roku, Apple TV, RCA, Panasonic, Smart TVs, Streaming Players, Blu-ray, DVD, Simple Setup, 4 Device, Gold, SRP2014C/27

Bought this to replace a Black Web universal remote, which was so old the words/symbols on most of the buttons were worn off, but was still functional and worked well with my tv and DVD player. But the BW finally died and I bought this remote which I had on my Amazon list to eventually replace my BW because I couldn’t find another BW remote in my Amazon and other retailer searches.. This remote was easy to set up for each of my devices and allowed me access to all the functions and menus on each device, when the correct code was used. All the codes I tried worked to turn my tv on/off but some did not work the menu button to allow me access to my tv menu. I had to try five or six codes before I found the one that allowed this remote to work like the remote that came with my tv. Since this remote doesn’t have some of the buttons the remote that came with my tv have, I had to try different buttons to find the ones that serves the same function as those missing buttons. The only drawback is it’s not backlit, but I’m not going to take away a star because I failed to realize that until after I’d ordered it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Worked as expected. It was easy to program and is lightweight. The color makes it easy to find. They guide with codes listed almost every brand of TV and smart device.

Pretty easy to set up and use. Had to go through a number of codes to find the correct one for my surround sound system, but be patient, it found it in the end.

Top Tip:If your Yamaha receiver that has "System Power" and "Standby" on the remote, try the Channel + (Channel Up) button on the remote to turn on the receiver, the "System Power" equivalent.Review:I have a Yamaha RX-V1400 audio receiver and I needed to replace the remote since it stopped working. I looked into replacing the exact same remote and it was over $100 so I just needed a basic one to turn on/off and volume control. At first I thought this doesn't work with my receiver because I tried every listed code for Yamaha and it failed to turn on the receiver. I ended up using the Auto Code Search (which starts with the receiver turned on) and it found the code - which was one of the ones listed. The tricky thing was, to turn on the receiver, you have to use the Channel + (channel up) button on the remote to turn on the receiver. To turn off the receiver, you use the Power button on the remote. This is because the Yamaha receiver has a separate button for "System Power" ("Channel +" on this remote) and "Standby" ("Power" on this remote).I was already happy to find a cheap replacement for my Yamaha receiver but I bought the 4-device version and decided to enter the codes for my Vizio TV (2020 P Series) and Verizon One FiOS STB and it has worked with the functions I care about. As an added bonus the Vizio TV remote, which uses SmartCast for its smart apps, also controls my Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K . This isn't a feature of this remote, per se, but I'm happy to see that the TV controls on this remote also works on the Fire TV Stick.I never intended this to be the one remote to control them all, but now I am testing it as such. Maybe I will update the review after using it for a while.

I purchased the 4-device remote to replace a much more expensive universal remote (Harmony) that after more than 10 years of perfect use, no longer will program correctly, even when I bought a brand new fresh one. I ended up liking this cheap little Philips remote, since at least I got everything programmed -- my old Sony HDTV, Verizon Cable Box, Sony Blu Ray player, and Roku Express. My TV has 4 HDMI ports, which each of these is hooked up to. Therefore, I need this remote's Input button to take me to the appropriate HDMI port each time I want to use the device. However, everything works with this remote EXCEPT the Input button. My original remotes for the Sony TV, and Verizon Cable Box, and Sony Blu Ray ALL have Input buttons that work (tho not the Roku Express). However, this Philips remote simply won't program them in. EXCEPT for the Blu Ray. The Input button DOES work for that one.Therefore, in order to change inputs, no matter which device I'm currently "on" and watching, if I just press the "DVD" (Blu Ray) button first, and then the "Input" button, it will simply open the HDMI screen on my TV so I can scroll to pick which HDMI I want and it takes me there. If the Blu Ray player is not "awake", I can use it's button plus "Power" to wake it. It's not terribly hard to do this, but I do wish it would simply work the way it is supposed to. Also, the volume button and channel buttons also seem to work like the DVD button, when pressed before the Input button.I will probably try another version of the (expensive) Harmony remote (some are cheaper on Ebay), and return this remote if the Harmony remote works correctly, since the Harmony programs much more detail that I would like. We mostly get what we pay for I guess.
