Want to run TV (sony). DVD (Marantz) VCR ( Panasonic) and a Denon Mini cd system.

Want to get a single remote. Seen argos do a Phillips for around £40.00 that looks good.

Questions!! Can these things do

1. Can they control "fast tele text"
2. Can they control "Video plus"
3. basic DVD control.
4. No mention of Marantz in guide book?? But these marantz are phillips anyway.

Dont need flashing lights etc. Just easy set up and user friendly

Cheers

Thumbs up

I'm with gregh - the kameleon is the dogs danglies

A doddle to set-up, either from a code (depending on kit involved) or by learning from another remote. You can even download codes for new stuff from the Internet.

But the best bit is the movement sensitive backlight - as you pick it up it comes alive

Downside is that it eats batteries for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
