Review on πŸ“± MX-450 Universal Remote Control: Programmable with On-Screen Macro Editing Capability for Customized Operation by David Gonzalez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I would definitely recommend this remote but here are a few suggestions

Let me first say this is my first universal remote ever so I was very nervous about this purchase especially when reading reviews and read tutorials about how difficult programming can be. BUT, we've had a home theater for 2 years now and I'm so tired of juggling 5 different remotes. After spending an hour reading online reviews, forums and all the guides I could find, it took me about 4 hours to turn on 3 devices (denon receiver, directv and epson projector) and 2 macros (turn everything on and turn everything off ) to program. The reason it took so long is because I deleted everything and started over twice. In short, I definitely recommend this remote control, but here are some tips: 1- Read ALL reviews, online forums and manuals before you start programming the remote control, especially if you are a beginner. I even found a YouTube video! 2-Be patient and prepare to erase and start over as you learn through trial and error. You don't need to be an experienced A/V engineer or programmer; However, you must be patient and have a basic understanding of how to work with your AV equipment. 3-If your remote control doesn't accept the correct codes for your devices, please update the firmware. I'll do this next time to set up my Xbox.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Having trouble

Very poor design; very awkward to use controls.
