Just tried this one. As I've come to discover having tried to find a "universal remote" - this seems to be an oxymoron. As far as it went, I think the use of wizards if fine, but the screen is almost impossible to read, so unless you're operating in strong light, forget it. The serial port does help in programming, but the trouble-shooting falls short in giving you reasons for failure of the remote to learn. I suspect most of the Sony codes are either too complex to learn. Still searching for the 'holy grail'...
