Query: Does NOT replace multi-funtion remote

I have 3 Sony components, so I thought this remote would well with them. WRONG! The Sony Receiver is practically unusable with this "universal" remote. Look at the manual (on the net) before you buy this and you'll see how few functions it actually performs on any AMP/Receiver! The other items will work, as long as you "learn" along with the remote the buttons you "teach" it to use.Personally, I will never buy another Sony component or remote! I had to buy an OEM replacement for an earlier model remote for $45. It won't perform all the functions, but they are ones I can do without since the exact replacement is $95!! The Receiver was $400, so Sony is telling me the remote is a quarter of the total worth! Heinous!
