Review on πŸ“± Sony RM KZ1 Children's Universal Remote Control by Veronica Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This product is a must have for any family with young children watching TV

I just received this product today and already I LOVE it. I bought this because I found it on Pinterest and for the price of $7 I couldn't be happier. A few things in my review - see below: PROS: 1. Works to control your TV and cable box. I hooked up a Samsung TV to an ATT Uverse cable box and it works great. 2. Be sure to follow the instructions for the letter T. They're a little sparse and a little annoying. Despite this, I was able to use this remote to turn my cable box and TV on and off and use it with HD cable boxes3. Very well done. This is a very durable remote control that, among other things, is splash-proof. Cons: 1. The instruction was very annoying. If you have a cable box, you'll need to follow both instructions - first make sure your TV is set up on the remote (make sure you can turn it on and off) and then set up your cable box so you can can play channels. from the cable box compared to TV2. I had no idea what my "pairing" code was for my cable box or TV and had to go through the list through trial and error until I figured it out and it stopped my progress for about 15 minutes before I could figured out. I could turn the TV on and off with the remote but not the cable box.3. The pairing codes provided in the instructions didn't work on my cable box, so I had to refer to another section (and hence why it took so long) for how to get the remote to perform an 'automatic' pairing by simply typing on the remote will show on the cable box while you "search" for the code and press ENT once the cable box turns off --- obviously this means it found the right code. After the above steps, everything works fine - the TV and cable box turn off. /on with the power button - the volume is limited so my toddler doesn't turn the TV on - I was also able to set the remote to go straight to 1 of 7 preset favorite channels when the TV is turned on. My almost 4 year old loves it and feels like she has more control - I can walk and my child won't be asking me to change channels every 10 minutes. And she can watch TV on Saturday morning and let us sleep. BRILLIANT!
