Essence 4 Universal Remote Control - Operates 4 devices (TV Freeview Blu-ray and Audio) – Learning feature - Works with all brands - Black -URC7140

One for all and all for one...this remote does it all for peanuts and it's a pleasure to use. Easy quick programming with pre-coded brands to punch in and use. But if you have a little complicated setup, say a soundbar from a different other brand to your TV, you can customise the programming of the volume keys etc separate from the base TV channel controls. The infra red signal is so strong you can fire off the walls or ceilings and the receivers still all respond reliably...no need to aim like a sniper! The weight, fit and finish oozes quality. For the price, it's a steal!

I was inspired to purchase this remote as I was frustrated at having to gather together 4 remotes when watching TV. I have what some might consider an archaic set-up of Bauhn TV, Humax FVP-4000T recorder, Sony DVD Home Theatre System, and Amazon Alexa Firestick (which I purchased as the YouTube app is no longer supported on Humax). However, I'm happy with the set up. The TV is an Aldi brand but the picture is fantastic. The Humax has served me well as it allowed me to ditch Sky. The Sony thumps-out incredible sound quality particularly as I now use it with a powered sub-woofer. My Humax and Sony are in a cupboard behind a door (I don't like to see equipment and wires visible). I use a range extender to operate the Humax and Sony - with the small sensor fixed to the outside of the cupboard door (see pic). I know if the Humax is on or off as I have a spare optical cable running from an optical splitter in the back of the unit with the other end embedded in a rivet in the door. This works really well, but my gripe was that I couldn't tell if the Sony had been powered-off and so often it was left on. I thought the Humax remote would have been my saviour as it can be programmed to power-on an AV device but unfortunately I couldn't get this to work (you can get the Humax to power the TV on and off in settings - so I was nearly there). The Firestick is a recent add-on and works great with the Bauhn TV. I didn't realise what I was missing out on with my Prime subscription! To the remote. It has a quality feel about it. I like how the cursor, channel, and volume buttons are metallised. It not only makes the remote look good, but also helps you to 'feel' the buttons in the dark. I was able to quickly set-up each device using the provided codes - even the elusive Bauhn TV! You can even assign a device to the volume controls on the remote. I keep the volume on the Humax on full, and use the volume controls on the remote to control the Sony sound system. I used the mirroring function to assign the coloured buttons to 'Netflix', 'Search', and 'Options' from my Humax remote. I also added the 'Library' button to the Favourites (FAV) button on the new remote. The mode button allows you to control each device separately. In TV mode I am able to select the Firestick and fully control it using the new remote. However, if you want to use voice control you'll need the Firestick remote for Alexa (it uses Bluetooth). The cherry on the cake with this remote is that it can power on and off 3 devices simultaneously. Just press the multi button followed by the power button and you'll see as the corresponding blue light flashes as it communicates with each device in turn. I no longer have to worry if the Sony has powered down... This is a truly amazing device at a low price point, and it's so easy to set up. It has actually exceeded my expectations and has become one of the most useful gadget purchases I've ever made.

I have owned quite a few multi-remotes over the years, including the One-For-All brand, but this is the model I am most happy with. The weight, balance and styling combine to give this a quality feel that is indeed superior to most of the original device remotes that it replaces (why do manufacturers of otherwise excellent products let themselves down with either clumsy or flimsy remotes?). The unit was programmed up to my devices very easily. However I have learned from experience that a learning function is essential. There are always some buttons that do not work or are not where you want them, and the learning function worked reliably and allowed me to quickly customise the layout as I wanted it. An extra feature which I like is the master volume control. When this is selected it means the volume buttons will only control one of the devices regardless of which mode you are actually in. No longer do I find the TV set to maximum volume because the satellite box is set too low, only to then blast the room with sound when I play a DVD! Yes you could set this up yourself using the learning function, but having it as a built in feature is helpful. One small criticism - I prefer having an explicit button for each mode: TV/DVD/Satellite etc. With this unit you have to press the single "mode" button repeatedly until the required device LED lights up. Overall though a good buy - not the cheapest, but well worth paying a few pounds extra for. Late update: After 12 months or so the colour has pretty much rubbed off the coloured buttons (the red/blue/green/yellow "teletext" buttons). This is something of an annoyance, caused by painting the colour onto the plastic buttons rather than using coloured plastic.

I found my TV remote was getting old and often took some encouragement to do its job, so I bought one of these, excellent decision on my part, set up was surprisingly easy, great functionality, getting used to where the buttons are is the biggest pain I’ve got, as I’d spend many years using the original remote, my fingers knew where everything was, but I’m learning the new positions, and found them so useful I have 3 now, which control 5 devices, in 3 rooms, and I couldn’t be happier, excellent gadget,

Uniquement compatible avec la télévision. Le DVD et l'amplificateur ne fonctionnent pas

Compre este mando programable como último recurso para salvar un Receptor AV Home Cinema cuyo mando a distancia languidecía. Es un problema ineludible de la obsolescencia programada, los mandos IR usan botoneras de plástico que hacen contacto mediante una pequeña lámina de material conductor, generalmente rico en grafito. Pero con el uso, esa lamina se deteriora y los botones más usados dejan de funcionar, arruinando el mejor equipo. Los equipos nuevos gozan de la opción de manejarlos con APPs de iOS o Android, pero los "vintages" requieren un mando infrarrojo. Los mandos originales nuevos suelen ser caros o carísimos (en mi caso 80€ +/-). Otra opción es intentar reparar el mando, con productos milagro que tratan de restaurar la lámina conductora, pero a mi no me han funcionado. La ultima opción son mandos programables. Lo mejor que he visto es el Logitech Harmony Smart Control, que sirve de puente entre el antiguo mundo IR y el nuevo APPs/WIFI. Pero sale caro. Si quieres sustituir una flota de mandos IR, puede estar bien. Me decidí por este mando programable por su aparente buen aspecto, la flexibilidad de 4 funciones y sobre todo por la prometida capacidad de programación a partir de otro mando de infrarrojos. Recibido y probado ya varias semanas puedo comentar que efectivamente tiene un buen acabado: los materiales parecen buenos, plástico rígido y botones precisos, ni duros ni blandos. El mando se maneja perfectamente con una sola mano gracias a un buen reparto de pesos. Los botones plateados parecen metálicos aunque puedo estar equivocado. Manejarlos es una delicia. Parece tener un amplio ángulo de emisión del IR porque no tengo que apuntar mucho al sensor. Es flexible en cuanto a que suple a 4 mandos diferentes, pulsando un botón cambia de función (TV; SAT; DVD; AV) y sabes cual está activo por un led azul, que solo luce al cambiar o pulsar cualquier tecla del mando. El led es imprescindible para la función de programación. Lleva pre-programados muchos mandos de muchas marcas, aunque por experiencia, nunca suplirá todos los botones de un modelo concreto. Si acaso los básicos y eso con suerte. Y llegamos al punto clave: programación. Un mando es universal si se puede programar y si no.....ni de broma. Este mando se traga cualquier comando IR que yo haya probado, desde un mando de TV de Panasonic, un DVD de Denon o el AV de Yamaha que tuve que programar enterito. LO MEJOR: la mecánica para programarlo es muy sencilla y productiva: basta activar el modo de programación y empiezas a pulsar botones en el mando nuevo y su pareja en el antiguo. Programé la función AV en un par de minutos y hablamos de 40+ botones. Tiene funciones más avanzadas como poder programar algunos botones para realizar la misma función independientemente del perfil activo, pero no lo he probado. En mi opinión, este mando es una maravilla y es una ganga. EDICIÓN 2015-09 Tras meses con el mando me he topado con la limitación de 100 funciones programables. No aparece en la información básica de venta ni especificaciones pero sí en el Manual y en detalles de la función de programación en la web. Parecen muchas, pero basta programar un receptor AV (40+ botones), una TV moderna (30+) y un DVD/BD para que encuentres limitaciones. Toca limitar funciones. El mando permite borrar asignaciones, por lo que ayuda. Corroboro que es un buen mando, barato pero con sus limitaciones. EDICIÓN 2018-03 Actualizo comentario tras tres años con el mando. Ha aguantado bien el paso del tiempo, funciona casi tan bien como al principio, aunque a muchos botones se les ha desaparecido la pintura que indica su función aunque sea parcialmente. Como uno aprende con el tiempo donde está cada cosa, a mi no me supone mucho problema, pero a otras personas podría. He añadido foto. El mando es resistente a caídas y tiene un buen diseño de tapa trasera, que hace que no salte en las caídas. De lo mejor que he visto en este sentido porque todos conocemos mandos que al cabo de unos años rompe las pestañas de tapa de baterías. La pulsación de botones sigue muy sólida, funcionan todos y bien. Nada de pulsar varias veces. Mi valoración sigue siendo de 5 estrellas, a pesar del desgaste de las marcas en los botones. Tened en cuenta que uso este mando para 4 dispositivos.... el uso es más intenso que si tuviera cuatro mandos distintos. Precisamente por eso lo quiero: un mando para todo....como reza el nombre de la marca.

Had to use button programming for pioneer receiver, bit it works

I'm impressed by how easy it is to configure/program it. I control my projector, surround sound, TV and electronic projector screen with this one remote now.

Caratteristiche del prodotto: -Aspetto: i materiali sono davvero di ottima qualità(piacevoli al tatto) rispetto a quelli di un telecomando dato in dotazione con l'acquisto di una tv, di un lettore dvd ecc ecc. -Dimensioni: Sono importanti, noterete immediatamente la differenza con quelli che avete sempre utilizzato. Inoltre ha bisogno di quattro pile AAA per funzionare(può non piacere questa cosa, ma rende veramente rapida la ricezione del televisore ad un vostro comando inoltre non è pesante come potreste pensare). -Esperienza d'uso: è ottima in tutti i sensi. Personalmente lo utilizzo per comandare tre dispositivi tv, lettore dvd(home theatre) e un lettore smart blu-ray, Potete associare fino a 4 dispositivi, anche se direi onestamente fino a un massimo di 3 poichè il comando SAT permette di comandare esclusivamente il digitale terrestre e dubito che nel 2018 molti di voi possiedano un televisore senza digitale terrestre integrato. A parte questo difetto considero l'esperienza di uso eccezionale perchè è veramente semplice associare il telecomando ai vostri dispositivi inoltre attraverso la funzione di apprendimento MAGIC potrete associare i singoli tasti ad una funzione specifica, per esempio sulla modalità TV riuscirete grazie a MAGIC a comandare le funzioni principali di tutti e 3 i vostri dispositivi senza dover passare continuamente dalle modalità TV a DVD a AMP(uso per Home Theatre) fatta eccezione per il comando di accensione che resta indipendente per ogni dispositivo e che consiglio sia meglio lasciarli indipendenti per non rubare troppi tasti al MODE TV poichè per la televisione si utilizzano molti più tasti rispetto al home theatre(solo accensione, spegnimento e volume a grosso modo) e blu ray. Pertanto per darvi un'idea della mia esperienza d'uso, accendo per prima cosa i tre dispositivi separatamente passando da mode TV a DVD fino ad AMP, mentre sulla modalità TV ho sacrificato i tasti inferiori play stop, avanti , indietro, sottotitoli, lingua e tasto 16:9 per comandare le funzioni del blu ray. Mentre per i comandi del volume vi basta cercare nelle istruzioni(in ITALIANO) per farsi che funzioni automaticamente per tutti in qualsiasi mode vi troviate a dover utilizzare. Per comandi più specifica Home theatre e blu ray passi alle altre modalità in quel caso, non c'è spazio per altri tasti da modificare). Esiste anche un tasto combo per comandare TV,AMP,SAT(no DVD) che trovo abbastanza inutile e scomodo per il momento, mi bastano le modifiche fatte con MAGIC.
