Sony RM-AV2000 LCD Touchscreen Remote Control

Pros: Very Handy, does most things well
Cons: Naming conventions, not enough buttons for some devices, no laser disk support

This remote does most everything one would like. It certainly replaces the seven remotes I had lying about - almost. The system works by calling up a display containing virtual buttons for each device you have. The display is called up by depressing...

Pros: Very customizable, nice backlighting
Cons: Pre-named keys get confusing

Any audio/videophile worth his or her salt knows the pain of the "Multi-Remote Dilemma" ... trying to keep track of a dozen or so remote controls that all perform one function that's not available on the others. Master remotes are nothing new,...

Pros: very useful and fun to use
Cons: Bad news for wives of channel surfers!

I wasnt even awarethat the Sony AV2000 existed. A friend of mine asked me to get it for him for his birthday. We went to the store, bought it, and then went back to his place so he could set it up. Less than ten minutes later, we were headed back to the...

Pros: Control's everything and easy to use
Cons: light doesn't turn on automatically; larger than other remotes

This has to be one of the coolest little gadgets out there for the home theater. It can control almost anything and it is easy to use. The large LCD touchpad is easy to use and I like how you can use real buttons as well. The back-lit screen is easy to...

Pros: Backlight, easy to setup
Cons: Can't change labels, not enough buttons

If you hope that this will make your life easier or that it will finally let your wife and kids operate your home theater system, I'm afraid I have bad news for you. It won't, unless you are willing to live with only the basic controls of the...

Pros: Versatility, Compatability, compact, sleek, attractive, very cool
Cons: Heavy battery usage

This is the coolest remote you could hope for, for the money. I picked mine up for about $50 (gotta love E-bay). Yes it's functional, yes its useful, but most of all its cool as hell. Sony really outdid themselves with this little gem. You can operate as...

Pros: Learned EVERYTHING! Nice design, got rid of 5 other remotes!
Cons: Would like to rename keys but that's asking alot.

I had gathered a collection of 5 remotes on my coffee table. Several were produced to be multi-function. The problem is, there were always a few keys that you needed the other remotes for! So the coffee table looked more like a toy store! To add to the...

Pros: Controls EVERYTHING; Easy to use
Cons: buttons hard to see without the light; not very ergonomic.

How did I survive before the Sony RM-AV2000? I ask myself that very question every so often, because this awesome remote has transformed my home theater from a juggling act of remotes to a model of simplicity. I have had "universal" remotes in...

Pros: Easy setup and easy learning feature
Cons: The backlight and not being able to rename buttons

I was looking for the end all be all of remote controls and this isn't it.

First thing that I didn't like about it was the fact that you can't rename the buttons on the display. I have a Sony Tivo and I had to use the menu or channel...

Pros: night light, programmability
Cons: everyone wants to play with it

I upgraded ny home theater/hi fi this year. With a receiver, DVD, CD, Video, Satellite and TV I ended up with 6 remotes. Too much - my wife wouldn't use half the stuff because it was so hard to control.

Enter the AV2000, the web site said it...

Pros: Getting rid of all those remotes, easy to use
Cons: none

If anyone is like me, you have many remotes laying on the coffee table and have yet to find a "universal" remote that really controls EVERYTHING. Look no further!!! Compared to other remotes it may seem somewhat expensive, but...it IS worth...

Pros: Customizable, Convenient, and Sassy
Cons: Expensive; Conflicts with other SONY products

I bought the Sony AV2000 so that my fiancee would be able to turn on and watch TV when I wasn't home (Obviously she is not the most tech advanced)...and I have found that the macro function is a great solution to that problem...Yet there are some...

Pros: Design, programmability, extensive range of controls
Cons: None

This is my favorite electronic gadget of all.

I can control basically all of my electronic audio/video components with this device. It's extensively programmable, it replaces every other remote I've used, it is automatic for almost all Sony...
