Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips PM3S 3-Device Big Button Universal Remote Control
Customer Review: Be prepared to fiddle with it
Summary: 3 Stars
I got a Philips 6-device universal remote that looks a lot like this 3-device controller, for use with an Emerson EV818 vcr, and it does the job, although it took some fiddling around. I went through all the Emerson-vcr-specific codes, and couldn't find one that did the trick, so knowing that it was actually manufactured by Daewoo, I decided to try those codes. It was the last code, naturally. Then, I had to figure out which buttons perform the various functions (it was fairly intuitive), but it was easier than returning the thing and spending a lot more for the exact replacement. Hopefully you can extrapolate to your situation from that, but I'm not going to try to generalize. Just be prepared to fiddle with it for a while to figure out whether it will work for you.Customer Review: Great Remote!

I got this to replace my old universal remote (also a Philips, but a different model). The old one never worked right for my DVD player... so I wasn't expecting this one to, either - but it does! Programming it was a BREEZE... I was done in about a minute, and that's for all three components I wanted to use it for. It's also attractive, slimline and classy looking - and the buttons are big and easy to see, but not ridiculously huge or garish looking. Overall, I'm really happy with this remote. And hurray for Sleep Mode... It even works on my old TV that doesn't have a sleep mode of its own. Woot!Customer Review: Extremely Inconvenient

I bought this remote to replace a very cheap Radio Shack remote. After using it for a day, I'm putting my batteries back in the Radio Shack remote. We watch a lot of DVDs, and the DVD controls are terrible. In order to use the DVD menu controls, you need to press a 'menu in/out' button. Once you press this, the controller light starts flashing, and it gives you a certain amount of time to make your selection. In other words, if you think your kids are going to use this to pick through the menus on their DVDs, think again.
Customer Review: THIS IS OUR 3RD ONE!

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME WE HAVE BOUGHT THIS REMOTE AND WILL BE BUYING ONE MORE! THE BUTTONS ARE EASY TO FIND AND PROBABLY THE EASIET REMOTE TO PROGRAM I HAVE EVER PURCHASED! IT HAS WORKED FOR ALL OF MY TVS AND OTHER ELECTRONICS. EVEN THE REALLY OLD ONES! I HAVE EVEN REPLACED 1 REMOTE THAT CAME WITH THE TV WITH THIS ONE BECUASE I LIKE THEM SO MUCH!!Customer Review: Disappointing

I bought this thinking that it would be a good replacement for the multiple remotes hanging out in the living room. I am disappointed that after a few months the buttons have stopped working correctly. You have to reeeeaaally push down on them to get them to work.
Skip this remote. Invest in something with more quality.
