i am having  this setup as follow :

1) samsung LCD TV
2) Philip ASTRO decorder
3) Dream Machine DM 500 decorder
4) Pioneer HD DVD player
5) Samsung HT home Theather system
6) Panansonic aircon ...
so to say i got 6  remote control ...

been looking on the website .. for the universal remote control for all this six item ... and so far onlyl "logitech" comes close ... but
saw the cheapest version in Lowyat  .. costing about 350 - 400 ringgit ... ( too expensive loooh )

please recommend me other brand ... based on your usage expriences  where the budget is about 150 ringgit ...
thanks ...

But I'm not sure can control Aircon, but KDK remote control fan is OK.
its abt that price you mention...incl postage..

Mine broke (hehe..dun ask why..gotta do with my baby) and they replace a new one for me....excellent service...

daryl.k - a long time ago I used to have the Kameleon... it's slick and beautiful but has severely limited program memory (about 25 keystrokes). Then I bought a Sony RM-VL600 (now upgraded to RM-VL610 around US$20 street) - it is super programmable and has memory to reprogram every key for every device, plus macros.

Was at Best Denki earlier today and noticed a few different models of universal remote control under Philips. Pricing from RM69-under RM200

I've a 6 in 1 Philips remote..but ai can tell you the programmable learning stuff is limited too...I can't tell exactly how many key strokes but in you are programming all 6 devices I dun think its enough...

Now I know Sony has a better line up I would rather go SiriuslyCold's way..
Trouble is...have to get it from Ebay...not sure if local have.

Hi..thanks for the feedback..

I googled all the local sites and cannot find the VL610.

However...at lelong shop is selling RM-PP411
http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/2005-01D...ol-RM-PP411.htm.
But i checked the specs it doesn't have learning capabilities...only the PG411 has learning mode.

I've just send my remote to the Philips service center again...see how it goes

Sony Singapore has this:
RM-VL610T
http://www.sony.com.sg/product/rm-vl610t
Abt RM220...plus additional Rm30 for friend to bring it in from SG = RM250

Worth it?

Ebay has a seller in US postage to world wide:
RM-VL610N
http://cgi.ebay.com.my/Brand-New-Sony-RM-V...=item2a022f6ae8
Abt RM122!!

this is the 610N on Amazon US$21 new. I guess the ebay price is good (I take it RM122  includes shipping)

Also, you might want to think about one of the Philips remotes available locally around the same pricing, although I'm not sure about the programmability.

I've not had any problems with any of my Sony remotes, but if it breaks... you may want to be able to yell at someone and a local Philips remote will be locally supported.

Thanks, I think I'll go for ebay...I'll contact the guy regarding the shipping charges whether can reduce further....I dun mind to wait.

Philips one got oledi..6in1...err...fragile stuff...but i got to agree...if it breaks, its one to one exchange by them...which is very good support.

Thanks for your replies smile.gif

Much appreciate
