Review on Replaced RX A1010 WW511600 RX A810BL RX V871BL by Leticia Wilhelmsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as expected For remote controls

Perfect for powering up my AX-810 receiver, opening and navigating the setup menu. This RAV 491 model replaces my original OEM RAV 444. This model doesn't have a tuner knob, which I miss, but not enough to make me pay $30 for a closer replacement, although most other tuner features are on this one. Other buttons are also missing, but not the ones I've ever used. I can still select tuners from the settings menu. I could see these differences in the picture before purchase. Most of the buttons on my original remote still work, including the tuner, but it's nice that this one can withstand the wear and tear that still works on the original. The Yamaha AV Controller app for Android works very well with all the remote control functions, but I prefer this physical remote. Numerous sellers on Revain seemed to be selling this particular remote, this one had the best price. I see reviewers for the same model saying they can't get it to work with TV capabilities. Not something I used my original remote for and didn't test it. Not a deal breaker for me.

Pros
  • AV accessories
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
