The remote for my old Sony receiver finally gave up on me, so I was forced to do something. I considered spending a hundred or so on a Harmony, but decided I would save my money and give this a shot. Surprisingly, the remote works well for all of my components, even my blu-ray player which I believe was manufactured after this remote was. Not very convenient to set up, actually not convenient at all to set up, but personally I like to do thing manually with my system so I didn't mind that too much. Overall, it is not nearly as flashly or convenient as a Harmony, but for my needs it gets the job done at a much cheaper price.
