One for All URC7880 Universal Smart Remote Control up to 8 Devices with Free Setup App - Easy Learning Feature - Infrared Connectivity Technology and 3 Shortcut App Keys – Black

I am quite surprised the best feature of the remote isn't mentioned. Called "Activity" (note the center of the remote), this is a "punch through" system, with a better design! "Punch through", for those who don't know, allows a button to take control of a specific device, regardless what device is selected. For example, if "punch thru" is set to a soundbar, TV volume changes the soundbar volume, not the TV volume. It's a great feature to have using multiple devices. Once two devices are set up, the Activity of those devices is automatically applied. No coding needed. The Activity button will select the proper input devices based on what devices are in use. It's not perfect, but it does work very well for basic control. I have an Oppo player, Samsung soundbar, and Sony TV, and by selecting the activity with all three devices, the soundbar automatically takes control of the volume. It will take a little bit of time to get the hang of Activity, but within a day, it should be second nature. It all depends on what devices are currently in use, and this is where the icons come in. Select "Movie" if the BD player is in use. Select "Music" if a receiver is being used (which will take control of play, pause, etc). Adding to the basic pre-defined lists are the options to make your own. Very well done! As anyone with an Oppo player knows, finding a universal remote to work well with it is impossible. Well, for starters, most universal remotes don't have a Subtitle option. With the learning ability, this is easily rectified. I used the 4 colored buttons to control basics such as subtitles, output display, eject, and repeat chapter. It took less than a minute to program all 4 options. Comments indicating this was "difficult" to program probably didn't read the instructions. There is only 5 seconds open to make a selection, or the current option is turned off. It is recommended to plan out what features to program while in learning mode, but it's as straight forward as any other learning remote. Most of the codes do bring in basic functions, including the Oppo, but legacy systems will need to be programmed. One caveat: be sure the remotes are nearly touching! Any gap between them will cause the read to fail and the attempt will have to be repeated. It seems the remote is sensitive to white light in the room. I haven't had any issues learning legacy codes, but none of my equipment is older than 25 years. I hope this review helps, especially if you're looking for a punch through system. Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Works very well. Needed to replace audio remote.

like all of you, I have at least a dozen useless remotes in my cabinet - I keep trying them and abandoning them. I have a 20 foot distance between my couch and the sensor on my TV, which then transmits back through another 40 feet of cat5 to the cable box. Every one of my other remotes requires me to be within 10 feet of the Eye and must point the remote directly at the Eye to extend through the Cat5. This remote is bizarre and almost like an RF because it's the only one to reach across the 20 feet effortlessly and I don't even have to point it directly at the Eye. Additionally, all the learning buttons worked perfectly - I do all Learning buttons cause I'm a nut for customizations. Plus this is not another quick attempt by a non-American company - URC remotes are good quality and this one is so low priced, you can't go wrong. The only negative is the buttons are not backlit.

I've probably owned every brand of universal remote control that you can get in the United States, including a Logitech Harmony and a SofaBaton; and this is--by far--the absolute worst programming & manufacturing failure I have ever owned. There is only one device button that cycles through the devices; and if it isn't programmed, it won't select a device. Devices are locked into types so are very difficult or impossible to reassign. It has no quick or manual codes for cd players or VCRs. The IR beam cannot be seen or located with a camera; so, because of the odd shape of the front end, learning directly from another remote was hopeless due to alignment problems. I was never able to get mt LED lights into the remote, though it was suggested, it would learn these commands. And if it does any of the things that I just said it won't do, the instruction manual was not clear enough to troubleshoot these problems for me . The included app has locked in features for the devices and so far as I can tell no other purpose--so, also useless . I returned the remote after several hours of struggle and then went to Walmart and bought a 6-device, BACKLIT Onn for $14.92. I was able to program this one in about an hour to control my AV receiver, my CD player, my Blu-ray player, and two different sets of LED lights without any hassle or problems. This OneForAll remote is seriously overpriced and a huge design disaster. NOTE: For $49.99 you can get this OneForAll remote which requires 3 AAA batteries that are NOT included. For $14.92 you can get an Onn remote which requires 2 AA batteries that came in the box with the remote.

Needed to replace my old harmony remote, and because I have an older receiver that hooks up to my tv via an optical audio cable, I needed a remote that can control the receiver volume without having to change inputs all the time. With the end of the harmony line I looked for an alternative and came across this. For $30 I gave it a shot and I’m glad I did. It is easier to set up than a harmony, although the harmony software is so terrible that isn’t saying much. In terms of functionality it works perfectly, again actually a little better than a harmony (no double presses that have to be tuned out in the clunky harmony software for example). The buttons are clicky and satisfying although to my mind the layout on most harmony remotes is superior to the layout of this remote. Of note, it doesn’t come with batteries Overall I would heartily recommend this remote. It’s a good remote at a good price that works very well. Right now I’m very satisfied with this purchase. I’ll update if anything changes in the short/medium term with its functioning or reliability

If you require a simple setup, then it's a 5 star rating. Mine is slightly more complicated having a mix of old and new hifi components. I feel the instructions could have been a lot clearer to save time figuring it all out. Having experience with these sort of things I was able to sort it out and overall I am happy with it. Don't like the 5 presets as my needs differed. These could not be changed. My Kenwood sub-woofer is not listed and I could not get the remote to learn the buttons. Not a big deal. Working fine and am happy with the purchase. 4 stars from me.

I bought one of these some years ago. It suddenly stopped working, but having resurrected the four controllers it replaced, with all the hassles of having to find the right controller each time, I bought another OneForAll. It is simply so convenient and so much tidier than having lots of controllers around. There are some very nice features of this control. For example, if you have a separate sound system, you can set the volume controls to always control the sound system, no matter what device (e.g. TV) you currently have set. Another example: the ability to define a "macro", which is a set of commands, and link it to one button. I've defined a macro that turns the TV on, then the Sound Bar, then sets the remote control to be the SetTopBox controller. There is a smartphone app to help with setting up the remote. It worked okay, but was not very inspiring. For example, to select a TV, "Sony" wasn't in the default list of manufacturers that was displayed. It found it okay though when I typed the model number into the search, and setting that up was then easy. But it didn't find our Logitech Z906 setup - I would have thought that Logitech was a big enough name to show up. My old control had the setting for the Logitech; searching for the device on the OneForAll website gave a message telling me to contact Support. A week later, no reply. No matter, the OneForAll is capable of copying the infra-red codes from the manufacturer-supplied control. The OneForAll comes with some pretty good instructions on papre, but they're not available online as a PDF. The search function on the website didn't manage to find my remote (URC7880), which doesn't inspire confidence. They encourage you to contact Support with a question, but I didn't get any response. This compares with the support I received about 3-4 years ago when I had a question about the control back then - I actually had someone phone me up (from Holland!) to explain - a unique support experience. Perhaps they had some organisational "improvements" since then. The instructions say that you can program any key (with the exception of Magic, Devices, and Activity keys). A word of advice here - make sure your old controllers are working when you try to program the AllForOne! It transpired that one of my old controllers hadn't been used for so long that the battery was dead. Confusingly, the AllForOne looked as if it was accepting the infra-red code from the old controller, but the programmed key didn't work. Replaced the batteries in the old remote and everything worked beautifully. So, 4.5* overall, rounded-up to 5*. It's a joy to use when you've got it set up!

Es un control remoto con un acabado premium y en general buenos materiales. Uno de los detalles es que las baterias se gastan rapido, se las tuve que cambiar dos veces en 6 meses. El dia de ayer me tiro que las baterias estaban por agotarse y se las cambié, luego de colocarles las nuevas el control no volvió a encender

For the money, you can't go wrong. Every button can learn...might take a couple tries, but it'll work. Combined my TV, receiver, and media for PS5. Didn't try codes for devices, I just taught it from my other remotes and so far flawless from the first day. Doesn't do RF though for Bell/Rogers/etc WiFi boxes so you'll still have at least two remotes. Awesome learning remote for all my IR goodies. Top Shelf, Thumbs Up, Five Stars.

Setup was easy using the code but setting up my sound bar was not as clear cut as the buttons do not match the control so I was stuck with just volume up and down and on and off button. Pairing the two into an activity was useless as it did not work out and the sound bar was always left with a flashing mute when the TV switched off which meant I had to drag out the original controller to turn off the annoying flashing mute in my bedroom.
