this is a good all around remote for the price
but dont expect champainge at beer prices. I
really like this remote. It will only hold
commands for about 8 remotes,though. as to the guy
who thinks the light should come on every time
you push a button,come on! that would be a
real bother and a waste of battery power. I can
find most of them in the dark except the ones in the center and I,ve only had this remote for two
weeks.If the 2000 wasnt so well laid out that might be the case but the most used buttons are on the edge and easy to locate.I didnt think that
I would like it at first, but after a day or so
it started to grow on me.Sure it's not perfect but
it's really a calculation you should make BEFORE
you buy.My calculation was that I could call a
wide button a speed selector and leave off some
little used functions in order to save a few $$$
and I'm happy with my choice. I've only used one
remote for 2 weeks and the increased functionality
of my ht is a dream. Maybe the pronto or harmond
kardon are better but three times the price better? If you are one of those people who want
a cadilac for a tercel price you wont like this
remote. But the compromises are to me small
and well worth the cost. And this thing looks
a lot more expensive than it is.It's the cool
touchscreen I;ve always wanted,and it ties
my system together nicely.It's not a megabuck
universal but it passes in most cases.If sony
priced this remote at 3 to 5 hundred bucks, then
sure you would have a right to complain about a
lack of total perfection, but at the price I
paid I dont expect that, but I did get MOST of
the features of a more expensive remote and to me thats a bargain. And I paid the ripoff circuit
city price!!!And this is really your only choice
for this type of remote at this price range
