Does it come with basic programming codes for tvs or is the IR remote only learning capable, so you have to have a working remote to train it?

You have to train it, also it broke after a month...use remote desktop...don't buy this product.

You can program it by using the 3 digit codes that are listed for a device (TV, DVD, etc) or you can train it manually for each function. I used the latter method my TIVO remote. That took about fifteen minutes, since each function (channel, guide, etc.) had to be learned one by one by the WR7. I have been using the WR7's for about a year and no issues so far. You can review the procedure for programming the WR7 by downloading its owner manual from its web site.

This remote is meant to work on a great number of TV brands. However, it will only provide basic functions such as volume and channel. Others may also be available on some sets. The drawback is, these remote controls have to be programmed for operation. In order to do so you must have a DirecTV Box in order to see the onscreen instructions and number codes. The remote also comes with a set of rudimentary instructions but without the onscreen it is hit or miss, mostly the latter. The good thing about this remote is the RF/IR feature. If you have DTV this remote is dependable, battery life is very good and it is tough.

I bought a RCA universal remote at K-Mart for less than $10.00 and am using that. It has to be programmed, but it works.

Agree with prior reviewer: as long as you have the original remote, you can train this remote to work with your TV.

This remote can learn from other remotes (you aim the two remotes at each other, tell this one to begin reading, then press the button on the other remote), so it does not actually need to know what the other remote even belongs to. I programmed some buttons this way, from remotes that it did not even know about. As long as the other remote is also infrared, it should work fine. I also have this remote turn on/off both my TV and my receiver at the same time with one keypress. It's a little slow (it takes about 2 or 3 seconds to complete the process each time you hit the "system power" button), so you have to make sure to keep the remote aimed at both sources until it's done, but it works fairly well.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe only ONE button on this remote will learn an IR code when it is given a chance to learn that single function from an existing remote. For instance, you could place the remote in front of the old remote and have it learn the "Power" button feature only.

Programming instructions are included with purchase- they are based on the make/model/year of vehicle, not the actual remote. Thank you!

Yes it will. You can teach it to learn any button that was on the remote that came with your TV. It's a learning remote, which means as long as you have the remote that came with whatever product, you can teach this remote to do whatever you want via IR communication from one remote directly to the Sony remote.

I know it works with the direct TV and I think it works with the roku. I do know that the learning function is uncanny and I have not found a remote it will not program to with the learning function. I have four and they run every device with a remote in the rooms with no issues

It helps that it is a learning remote. You can train it to do everything your current remote does. Yes!

Mary, I sorry I can't answer your specific question. However, I have found that if the pre-program function does not work you can use the "Learn" function to train the remote to do what you want it to do. The process is on page 12 of the owner's manual. After you have programmed a couple of the functions you will see that your learning curve will rapidly improve.

REMOTE CONTROL* 1 universal infrared 4-component learning remote control with two-way capability for "TV1" (main TV location).* 1 universal infrared and UHF Pro 4-component learning remote control with two-way capability for "TV2" (second TV location).So - You get one of each!

I am pretty sure all of the lights have the same IR code. Because I have lost remotes and ordered new ones and they worked the same without programming. This company has excellent customer service you should just be able to email them and they will get back to you ASAP

I believe it comes with an IR remote, but we only use it, via a Harmony remote and it works pretty good.

Mine worked out of the box for basic TV controls. It will possibly need to be programed to work with optional devices, not sure.

The method to do so is in the manual. Have you gone through it? Is your TV make listed in the Remote Codes Table in the manual? Some TVs are also too old for the remote to have the proper code for them.
