There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Other reviews have summarized well what's great about this remote, so I'm just going to add some geek details.
What I love:
- Separate on and off buttons. Simple, but a huge ease-of-use win. Many devices now have discrete on/off codes, and this remote finally lets you use them. A big help to reliability when you've programmed a "system on" macro.
- No LCD screen. Nice idea, but more often than not a crutch that replaces good design. Demands that you look down at the remote, takes space away from keys, and is typically butt-ugly.
- Programmable macros, even on the device keys.
- Decent IR emitter. So you hardly ever have to hit a key more than once, and macros execute reliably.
- "Punch through" capability on most keys
- Decent remote code database, and decent learning capability.
All up, I'm extremely happy with u-43. If you're up for a very easy use universal remote control, you can make this one fine remote.
Only two minor complaints: I wish it didn't have the small text for the brand (such as SN for Sony, PA for Panasonic, etc, mixed in with the number buttons. They are just confusing and I had to explain to my dad to ignore them as he is studying the remote with a magnifier glass (his eyesight is very bad due to diabetes). I also wish the +100 number was a period instead. It's to put the decimal, for instance if you want to go to channel 10.2, you would press 1, 0, +100, 2. The "+100" I've never seen it used this way, at least in the United States.
Also, the batter door is proper. I've bought a few recent "no-name" cheap products, and the battery door was impossible to open, including another "senior" remote. This one is proper.
I bought this oversized button with fewer useless options so it would be easier for him to control his tv. Set up was fast, it worked on his Sharp 65 4k tv right out of the box. But for some reason, it was really slow to respond. I entered the code from the list which took several attempts before it started working and seemed faster to us after using the manual codes instead of the pre-programmed settings.
It works from any point that he can see the tv and he is happy with the large simplified buttons.
On a happy note, the version of the remote that I got had a learning function, so I could and did disable the "Input AV" button (I made it do the same thing as the "Prev" button.) That is just one less way for the senior to get the TV into a weird state (wrong input.) I don't recall seeing anything about the learning function before I bought the remote, so that was a welcome bonus.
Here are some improvements I would suggest:
1) Use bigger instruction text, and an English-speaking proofreader.
2) Better yet, provide a link to a PDF of the instructions that actually matches the model of the remote I received.
3) Put a small bump on the "5" key (for the vision-impaired.)
4) Make the color of the "SET" key differ from the color of the "ON/OFF" button. Having a red button at either corner of the remote is an unfortunate choice for low vision people.
Overall I am very pleased with my purchase.

All in all it solved the issue and he now does NOT mess up the system any longer and he can surf channels happily.
Edit - programming of buttons started to fail - May happen after batteries get removed (or it falls on floor and the batteries come out). Became far too frustrating to deal with as was no longer reliable.
