This remote works very nice! I would buy it again. Pros - The volume and channel keys are big and easy to hit without thinking. - It supports controlling the amps volume from every mode rather then tv volume. - It has a nice big mute button under the volume. - All the keys you use are big and easy to hit. - There are a few smaller keys for less used functions which is also good. - The learning is easy to use and works great. - The ability to do lots of things with the press of one button is handy. I love the fact its simple and easy! No LCD or anything cluttering it up. Cons - The set button takes up prime space and other then setting it up is not used - The "lock key's" and "reset remote" are WAY to close to the same combination. (Power + Tv/Video + chan up) vs (Power + Tv/Video + Volume down) After I had the remote all set up I was playing around and tried to lock it and ended up resetting the remote and having to reprogram it from scratch! The reset should be a small button in the battery compartment!Read full review
I found this remote to be an inexpensive learning remote that is very simple and easy to operate. I have a TV that none of my universal remotes would operate. The Sony RM-VL600 not only operates the TV, I was able to program the AT&T Uverse box on it to consolidate all my remotes to one remote. The very reason I purchased the Sony remote. It operates my Sylvania TV, AT&T Uverse box, VCR, DVD and amplifier with no problems. I really like the fact that I was able to program the TV volume control on the At&T Uverse programming so I can control the TV volume while the remote is set on the AT&T Uverse box instead of having to switch between the programmed settings.
I don't know what happened to these affordable easy-to-use Learning Remotes. Nowadays, to get a remote with a learning Infrared function requires spending nearly $100 for a Logitech PC-Required USB Remote with superfluous LCD Screen and all that. It's almost as if the manufacturers thought they let us off too cheaply in the past. This Sony Remote is sturdy and simple and easy to program. I highly recommend it!

This remote model has been around for awhile. I had my first for 15 years and it worked flawlessly. It finally just wore out from constant use, the buttons got slow to react, and finally one just stopped working (exit/return button) which was a game ender. This remote allows you to control any device. The pre-programmed devices are extensive, but I don't know if they are current. Not sure this is still in production so the codes may be a bit dated. But...you can manually program any command or button so this is can operate any current device. I have combined my AV receiver, Flat Screen TV, DirecTV box, and yes even some "old-school" stuff like DVD & CD players:) All in a single remote that I can do anything with that I could do with the original remotes. Detailed system & menu modifications on the AV Receiver still requires the factory remote, but that is rarely needed. The only thing I (maybe) wish it had was back-lighting, but really it is so simple to use, once you get it setup, you don't need to back-lighting...it has never been a problem, so I don't know why I mentioned it. There are a lot of pricey, high-tech remotes out there, but this just works. If you have Sony components it is even better... Read full review

For those of us who want as much control as possible, this is the remote control to buy. It has both number-encoded-programming AND learning. It handles TV, DVR ("Tivo" equivalent), receiver, DVD (Blue-ray included), Macintosh signals (which work on AppleTV) and even an IR-remote-controlled floor fan. The most important points to note are 1) This precise unit is most useful; it has multiple-function keys A B C D. 2) There is a secret to this controller -- every key is programmable / reprogrammable except the set-up key, POWER key and device selections keys [TV DVD SAT CBL VCR CD TAPE and AMP). That puts 38 keys at your disposal for programming as you choose in each of 8 modes. For example, the "channel-number" keys need not be channel numbers for every device. The way to get a key to operate in any mode -- even a mode where it starts out dead -- is to erase its function first, then assign or teach it the function you want it to have. 3) Having the old controllers in the back of a drawer somewhere can be necessary. However, having this control take over the functions of an older control can mean the older control will still work if or when needed. My unit is thoroughly personalized. And I do hit a "wrong" key all the time because one key is too close to another. But I do not have to change modes or levels constantly like someone who uses the computer-programmable next-step-up remote control. The initial programming can be tedious. But the flexibility of this unit -- for the button aficionado -- is outstanding. And if it becomes apparent that a different use of the keys would make sense, that can be done. I do enjoy this remote control. I hope that this review will encourage you to get one and enjoy it also.Read full review
