Review on πŸ“± RCA RCR313BE Big Button Three-Device Universal Remote: Simplifying Control in Sleek Black Design by John Kennedy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Will not work with most VCRs and DVD/VCR combos

This is a well known brand universal remote that claims to work with DVD/Video combos. However, if you look at the DVD/VCR combo player code list, there are only two companies listed there: Panasonic and RCA, which is pretty ridiculous since there are easily two dozen companies making DVD/VCR combo players. My device is a Sanyo DVD/VCR player, so this device is unusable for me. Yes, they claim to have Sanyo codes, but they only have Sanyo codes for two devices: Sanyo TVs and Sanyo TV/VCR combos. Having no other choice, I tried these codes anyway, but of course they didn't work. So if you only need this device for your TV, there are about 200 different TV companies listed, so it's probably good for you. For plain old VCRs, they list a little over 50 companies, which seems pretty good until you realize there are over 120 different VCR manufacturers (link: Studio Audio Electronics website) so your chances of a match are less than 50%.

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • Big and chunky
