Placidman's Full Review: Universal Remote Control SL-9000 LCD Remote Contro...
The Home theater master SL9000 is in my humble opinion the best remote control center on the market ( for the money, that is ). There are clearly better units available with backlit LCD displays, and smartchips etc, but if your looking for rock solid, easy to use, fully capable universal learning remote for less than $100.00 this is it!
The unit comes out of the box preprogrammed with over 1,000 manufacturer codes, which simply require the code to be entered to operate the equipment. The unit can operate televisions, DVD players, satellite receivers, CD players, cassette decks, you name it. Most of the aforementioned equipment can be operated by the SL9000 by simply entering the manufacturer's code. The SL9000 is a fully capable learning remote as well, it can be setup head to head with another IR remote, and the SL9000 will learn the functions that you assign from the other remote.
My favorite feature about this remote is its macro memory function. The unit has five buttons which serve as the macro memory keys. Up to fifteen commands can be assigned to each of the 5 macro buttons. For example, in my system I have one of the macro command keys set up so that with the press of that one key it turns on my receiver, Dolby Digital/DTS processor, DVD player, opens the DVD player's disc drawer, turns on the TV, and switches the TV over to the video input that the DVD player is plugged in to. I have other things assigned to the other macro keys, but you get the picture.
This unit also features an adjustable LCD display, in the event that you don't like the preset function names. All the buttons on this remote are backlit, including the LCD function display, the backlighting is activated by a large button near the bottom of the remote. It has a battery backup that will remember all the presets for up to a month after the batteries have been removed.
These are just the highlights, if your in the market for a good universal remote, and you don't want to go broke this is a good place to start. The Home theater Master SL9000 will not disappoint you, and you will have Total Control over your A/V system. Any questions please feel free to e mail me at placidman@about.com.
