GE Backlit Universal Remote Control for Samsung, Vizio, LG, Sony, Sharp, Roku, Apple TV, RCA, Panasonic, Smart TV, Streaming Players, Blu-Ray, DVD, 4-Device, Black, 40081 Black, Backlit

I was very pleased and impressed with how quickly the remote connected to both my (10+ year-old Vizio) TV and my (1-year-old Roku Express) streaming media player. I entered the listed codes manually, for both devices. In both cases, the first code listed worked like a charm. I'm not very techy, but after reading and following the instructions, it all went very smoothly for both devices.I love that the buttons light up, and are a good size to read. They feel just a little spongey when pressed (I prefer a more defined, firm, "click" feel for buttons), but it was manageable. When entering numeric codes that ended with 5, I had to push the 5 twice to get it to light up and connect. Not sure whether that was intended/designed, or a result of the spongey-ness.I also have a (5-year-old Samsung) DVD player whose remote had been corroded over time. I purchased what I thought was the replacement remote for the model/serial number, but it didn't work. It's possible my DVD player is old enough that dedicated remotes are no longer available. That was my initial reason for trying this universal remote. I hoped the universal remote would control all the same functions as the old, included DVD remote.This universal remote does power my DVD player on and off, and it does open and close the DVD drawer. But I couldn't get it to show the DVD menu (for options like subtitles or special film features). I manually entered every code listed for a Samsung DVD player, and some of those codes did work to power on/off, and open/close the drawer. I then cycled through the instructions to let the remote seek and find its own codes, with the same result. I tested a few different DVDs, but never could get as far as playing the movie, so I couldn't test pause, fast forward, or rewind functions (I saw only the opening FBI warning screen and producer logo screens). Maybe my DVD player is just finally dying, and no remote can help.On closer inspection, I realized that this universal remote's description and instructions indicate only that it will power on/off and open/close DVD players; there is nothing that says it can access DVD menus or control playback. It's possible a newer DVD player might accept more codes or connect with more DVD functions.So overall, this is a really great remote for at least TVs and Streaming; it may work very well with newer, fancier DVD players and other components as well. The instructions are clear, and set-up was fully complete within 30-60 seconds for 2/3 of my devices.

Works great right out of the box with my Samsung TV and Roku box. I had to do a little googling to get it to work with my older Sony receiver stereo. But I found the right code. I definitely enjoy it.

It works well and everything works but the audio input function. So I still need the original remote in order to change input on the soundbar. It does not work with Fire TV or fire Cube but I knew that in advance. Nothing works with those except the fire remotes. Otherwise it's a nice remote for the money I just wish the soundbar inputs would work.

Bought 2 to replace the small remotes that came with new Samsung TVs. So easy to sync up and the backlight is awesome. Everything works as described and can now see buttons clearly if room lighting is low. Absolutely would purchase again!!!

This remote is great for the Super box. It took me forever to find the code. I hope this saves all of you a ton of time and helps. I bought one of these and the Superbox wasn't list on devices. Once I found the auto programming worked I retrieved the code with the blinking lights. Superbox code is 2914. The remote will work on all my boxes. It also works perfectly for Roku TCL tv and my Samsung soundbar.Very easy to use with the lights. I wish it would light up with rise and wake (movement sensor) but it does not. It is till very easy to hit the top center button and the light turns on without changing the TV or Stream box.I bought more of these for every room in the house with TV's. Highly recommend this remote. Price is cheap too. Buy it and yourself will thank yourself.

I only bought this to replace the crappy XBOX ONE remote I bought that didn't even last me 2 yrs for my XBOX ONE! & I assumed that being a G.E., it would be better! How wrong was I?! It took a 1/2 hr just to program it turn my TV on & off & adjust the volume on it! & I cannot program it at all for my XBOX ONE! It only provides 3 codes to manually do this, & all 3 are useless! I TRIED the auto program, & it managed to turn the console off, & then it says to manually turn the device back on, & hit Viol. Up till it shuts it off again! Why must this be so complicated w/so many steps?! Anyway, I hit the vol. Up button till my hand was getting tired & nothing happened! It didn't have any effect at all on the XBOX! & in the Q&A, the manufacturer claims it does & doesn't wok for the XBOX ONE! Well, which is it?! Schizo says what?! Other people say they got it to work, but, I wish they said how! I am gonna wind up returning this & get my $ back, & buy the crappy cheapo one that I will have to replace in 23 months again, cause at least that 1 worked right out of the box! I'd rather have to replace it every 22-23 months, then have 1 that lasts forever & doesn't do what I need it to, & you need an engineering degree or be a Jedi to get it to work right for what you need it to do! SMDH!!! Other con is, you need the strength of 10 men, or some kind of a tool to get the battery cover off! REALLY?!! WHY?! If you have arthritis, don't buy this, as you'll never be able to get the batteries in it, let alone replace them! Ridiculous! Absolute waste of $!

Bought this at the beginning of October and it is now the end of December. It was easy to set up and work but over time the buttons became less and less responsive. Today I am looking to purchase a new remote.

This remote is almost everything I wanted, and well within what I expected. It replaced three remotes (TV, streaming Roku, and a dvd player) and does a fair job of controlling my sound system. The only thing that would have made it even better is if it also handled the voice commands that the Roku remote can do. My main reason for buying is that my tv remote has started to lose functioning of some of its most used buttons. Problem solved! I Highly recommend this remote.
