The best Universal Remote I’ve Seen MX-500

This weekend I helped Lorinda's dad get his new Universal Remote. This thing took about 30-45 minutes to get setup. This included getting it to become 3 different remotes, and then enhance it to have the volume control always control the stereo's volume. It also had a great 'FAV' channels feature that lets you press NBC to goto the channel for NBC. There were 50 of them, and I found it dramatically faster than bringing up the GUIDE. This remote even has pre-programmed codes for TIVO (Sony and Phillips).

A truly unbelievable value!

This preprogrammed and learning remote control is designed to simplify your entertainment experience. The brightly backlit LCD viewscreen actually has 26 individual pages for operating up to 10 audio and/or video components. The component buttons are strategically placed around the LCD viewscreen and can be renamed, according to the actual components that your audio or video system may include.

Basic set-up of the remote can be fast and easy

The MX-500 boasts a built-in preprogrammed database of over 1,000 audio and video component codes, and is also fully capable of learning your home theater system's audio/video components remote control codes (up to 530 functions). For those households that require more than one remote control, the MX-500 can easily be cloned via infrared from another programmed MX-500. It's that simple!
