Query: Not A Universal Remote

The RCA RCU1010 is a nicely designed "universal" remote that's not universal. It wouldn't learn all the codes for a brand new Samsung HD satellite receiver or an older Yamaha audio receiver. On the Samsung, you can't use up and down channels with the DirecTV guide, so you have to enter the channel from the numeric pad. It gets it done, but eliminates the convenience of the guide. On the Yamaha, the input codes in the presets are wrong. The tuner button turns on the VCR, for example. The RCA won't learn the correct codes or learn the codes for other inputs or DSP settings.Setting codes on the equipment that is compatible is tedious. The learning mode is successful in capturing the codes from the other remote only about one in four tries.If you have all RCA equipment, this is probably a good choice. The macro function has great potential. But if you, like most everyone, have an assortment of manufacturer's equipment, try another remote.
