Customer Review: Do Not Buy This For a DVD Player . . HORRIBLE MENU FUNCTION
Summary: 1 Stars
DO NOT BUY a Magnavox universal remote for your DVD Player.
Buy a more reliable brand. Seriously, you will be sorry you bought this.
In fact, eventually, you'll feel like smashing this piece of **** into pieces.
Try ordering the actual remote made for your DVD player from its manufacturer
They might work fine for a TV or VCR. But for a DVD player,
the MENU FUNCTION is a shoddy, inoperable, unreliable waste of money.
If you enjoy sitting there pressing the Menu function over & over for
several minutes trying to set up your program, only to realize that the
remote won't select some DVD set-ups, then, hey, buy it.
I purchased an open-box Sony DVD Player at Best Buy, marked down
because there was no remote. So I bought this Magnavox universal remote.
It works fine for basic functions: STOP, PLAY, PAUSE, etc.
But for choosing set-up functions or episodes on a DVD, it is horrendous.
The Magnavox remote for most DVD's, to choose a set-up (widescreen or TV aspect size)
or to choose an episode of a TV show DVD, you must bypass the main menu
screen by pressing all the buttons to start playing the program. Then after it starts playing,
you have to press the MENU button again until you get back to the main menu screen,
then choose your set-up, chapter or episode, then press the play button until it plays again.
The Magnavox Universal remote is especially frustrating for:
1. DVDs where you have to choose widescreen or regular aspect at the beginning
of the disc. Most DVDs have the widescreen on one side, so those are not a problem.
But there are some that require you to choose the aspect size on the DVD screen.
You have to just play the default choice that it lands on (usually the small 4:3 size.)
This remote simply CANNOT CHOOSE the second option, no matter how
many times you play with it, the aspect menu comes on so fast when you put the
disc in, it doesn't give the remote a chance to activate, so on the few DVDs that
require this choice, you may have to watch a movie in the small cropped TV size.
2. TV Show DVD's: if you try to choose an episode other than the first one on the disc,
when you first put the DVD in, it WON'T LET YOU pick an episode. And you know how
long it takes to start watching a TV episode on DVD - you have to go through 2 or 3 menu
screens before starting the show (episode index, episode description page, "play episode
or recap" page etc.) With Magnavox remote you have to do all of that TWICE. Suppose
you put the DVD in, but you want to watch the third episode on the disc. Sorry. Can't Do It.
You have to start playing the FIRST episode, then when it begins you have to press the
menu button a few times again back to the episode list page, then choose ANOTHER episode,
then go through the index, description, play episode, etc. all over again, then play it.
A year after I bought this remote, the pharmacy had a rebate on a new Magnavox remote
with the flip handle design, It was free after the rebate, so I bought it. I have the same problem
with the newer remote, it can't grab certain menu functions to set up or play DVDs.
I'm not exaggerating. Magnavox Universal Remotes SUCK on DVD players.
