QFX REM-115 8 in 1 Large Jumbo Universal Remote Control for RCA, Sony, Philips, Samsung, GE, Zenith, Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba, Daewoo, Hitachi, Sanyo, LG, JVC, Mitsubishi, Emerson, Magnavox

I was a little tentative about getting this because of some reviews saying programming the remote was difficult. Well, my 29 year old daughter did it in like 5 minutes. In addition, you do have to get used to the buttonology because it’s slightly different than what your current remote would be for some of the buttons but it’s not hard to figure out. I got this for my husband who has macular degeneration and he loves it. However, it was frustrating at first to get used to what button did what, but after a couple of days, he’s very good at using it. I did not see that this product glows in the dark, but it doesn’t seem to be an issue—if anything, it would be nice for a button that would light up the device but no big deal for him. Overall, we’re very pleased with it (the size of it is quite the conversation starter!).

Absolutely need if you always lose your remote. Wish there was a back button on it but it’s still worth it to not lose the remote. Super easy to pair to the tv

Had it for less than 48 hours and the volume down button stopped working. Literally one of the only buttons I need besides power and volume up. Just get a normal remote and add it to a big board or something.

Does a great job turning on my old CRT TV for retro gaming. The Glow-in-the-Dark buttons are great! I miss place enough things with my toddler or by myself that this is a welcomed addition to the room. Only complaint is the batteries move around a bit after placing the back battery cover on. Not a deal breaker & for what I'm using it for would buy again.

In order to connect first off, turn on your tv. Step 1: hold top right button label “SetUp” till you see the remote power light on. Step 2: click on button label “TV” if you plan to use it to connect to ROKU TCL TV. Step 3: you have “two” options. You can either input code “2891” press “OK/Enter”. Or you can continuously click the “Power” button while pointing remote at the screen till it turns off your tv. Reason for this is when continuously clicking the power button you’re manually inputting codes until one works for your tv. The shortcut like Netflix/disney etc will not work when inputting code “2891” volume and channel will work. Your Home Screen button will be “Menu” and the actual “home” button doesn’t do anything. Your “back” button will now be the “exit” button. Good luck!

Purchased this remote for parent with macular degeneration. The remote buttons are BIG and visible and they can actually make them out. Programming is not so easy unless you know the codes. The instruction manual is a joke. You need a magnifying glass to read instructions and codes. Better to download the manual from QFX website to access the codes, and yet you still have to zoom in. The biggest negative is this remote is not a true universal remote. While yes you can program up to 8 different devices, there is no feature to control two at once that is the benchmark of universal remotes. You will not be able to control TV and Cable together like most remotes allow. You have to toggle back to TV mode to adjust volume, then toggle back to Cable to control channels.

My kids loved these, they thought it was funny how BIG they are.

Easy to program. I prefer the manual program mode, as it is simple and doesn't take long. If you have a magnifying glass, you can try the direct codes method in the instructions. MANUAL SEARCH MODE: Turn ON the device to program. Press and hold the CODE SEARCH button until the LED comes on and stays lit, then release. Press and release the button for what you are programming (TV, DVD...) LED Blinks once. Point at device and press POWER button every 3-5 seconds until device responds by turning off. When the device responds, press the ENTER button to store the code and leave programming mode. Glow in the dark keys are adequate. I might get a bunch of these for Christmas presents and include typed large font instructions, laminated and glued to the back. I like to get people gifts that they would probably not get themselves, but that they would use frequently and make a lasting impact on their daily quality of life.

shipped fast and worked perfectly with the devises I needed to control. This is the second one that I have purchased, the first one needed to be replaced after years of my 90+ year old father dropping it on the floor. The old one still works but is held together with multiple layers of tape and I am afraid that it will stop working at the worst possible moment so this new one is programmed and ready to go when it does. He will continue to use the old one until it dies as a couple of the buttons on the new device are in slightly different positions.

I ordered 2 of these devices from CRES&SIRI - the first one worked perfectly, meeting all of my requirements. However, when I unpacked the 2nd unit when I needed it some time later, it proved defective. Amazon wouldn't do anything about this due to their 'time window'. Connected me to Seller, CRES&SIRI who has remained unresponsive. I want to buy more, but will not if this example represents their lack of market professionalism.

I mean... Okay, I knew it would be big, but... it's BIG. To get an idea of how big it is, grab a sheet of 8.5"x11" paper. Now fold it in half to make the width of it smaller. You should now have 4.25"x11" in your hand. That's roughly how big it is! While the width is actually closer to 5", this will give you a good idea of what you are dealing with. Yes it's big. VERY big. If you have an elderly or sight impaired person in mind, you'll need to be sure they are able to handle this remote. There are two considerations. First off, only members of the Harlem Globetrotters likely have the hand width necessary to wrap their fingers around the remote. This means most people will need one hand to support the back of the remote, and then use their other hand to operate it. If they lay the remote in their lap, it may not work, since the remote needs to be pointed at the device. Make sure they understand that. One other issue that I had with this remote is that it can operate 5 devices. While it's not a BAD thing, if you are looking to replace just ONE remote, they may accidentally hit one of the other device mode buttons. If they do, the remote won't work until they press the right mode button again. To get around this, you can program the remote manually. You need to find the 4-digit code for your device first. Use the instructions, find your device manufacturer, and try the codes provided. Once you find a code that works, write it down. Now go through the process to manually enter a code for each device, and use the SAME code for all 5 devices. It doesn't matter if you use a 'TV' code on the 'DVD' button, it will work just the same. If you program all 5 modes with the same code, they won't be able to accidentally hit another mode button and cause it to not work. (If they need to use two devices, you could program two modes with one code, and the rest with the other code. It just reduces the chance that they may hit the wrong button.) Buy the best batteries you can afford for this, to reduce battery changes. The reason being is that the instruction manual says that it needs to be reprogrammed after a battery change. In the end, it's the biggest remote I've ever seen for this purpose. If this doesn't help, I don't know what will.
