There's a glut of fancy, control-everything-but-the-Universe remote control models available out there for purchase but none of them come close to helping me. Or, none of them bother to list their ability to ALSO control the kinds of components I'm still using. I'm far from the type who absolutely has to have the latest tech gadget in my possession, this is because most of the time I purchased fairly above-average products that were (supposed) to last a long time, hence, I still have most of 'em and they still work. But I've got 8 remote controls lying around and I'm looking to whittle that number down to TWO units at the most. So, here's a list of what I own: 1) SONY CD/MiniDisc player/recorder, purchased around 1998. 2) RCA 5-Disc CD changer Boombox, purchased last year. 3) DENON high-end DVD player, purchased around 2002 4) Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player 5) Samsung cable box, latest model 6) Panasonic 50-inch plasma TV 7) Sony 400-Disc DVD/CD changer, Currently in use exclusively as a "jukebox". So, which remote do you folks recommend for my relatively simple needs? I need one that'll control up to three DVD players at the same time and being able to control the inexpensive RCA boombox is also important to me. I'm not necessarily looking for a cheap model, just one that doesn't "roll it's eyes" if asked to operate old-school machines in addition to the hi-tech stuff. Thanks for all your help!
