One For All URC 8811 Premium Learning Line 8-Device Upgradeable Universal Remote Control description
Part of One For All's Premium Learning Line, the URC-8811 remote control is an upgradeable universal remote capable of operating up to eight devices at one time: TV, VCR, DVD, cable, satellite, CD, auxiliary, and surround receiver or amplifier. Full-learning capability allows this remote to learn codes from your existing remote controls, and a Home Theater Configure key powers all devices on or off simultaneously.

The URC-8811's four macro keys can be programmed to perform repetitive, time-consuming operations for easy, convenient access at the press of a single key. Macro keys are ideal for home theater operations, setting a favorite channel, guide steps, or other multiple functions you'd like to control with a single key press. Moreover, each macro key can hold up to 15 key presses. You can set macros to find your favorite channels, power up or down your system in the appropriate sequence, or other procedures tailored to your use.

The URC-8811 features intuitive, easy-to use buttons and control groups. The device requires four AAA batteries (not included) and some simple programming. The remote is preprogrammed at the factory to operate an RCA TV and VCR, a Motorola (GI) cable box, an RCA satellite receiver, a Pioneer CD player, a Toshiba DVD player, a Pioneer audio receiver/ amplifier, and a One For All home automation device. To control devices other than the default brands, simply find the manufacturers in the provided code library and load them manually.

The remote has the largest infrared code library available. However, if you purchase a brand-new home-entertainment or home-automation device, it may not respond to the codes stored in the remote's memory. If this happens, you can rest easy knowing that all you have to do is contact customer-service department to upgrade the remote control--a representative will search the company's database for a code that matches your device and instruct you on how to enter it into your URC-8811.

Exclusions to the unit's upgradeability include home entertainment or home automation devices controlled by radio-frequency (RF/UHF), wired, or ultrasonic remote controls--only devices controlled by infrared remote controls are covered; home-entertainment or home automation devices not controlled by remote controls; broken or defective products; products that operate at frequencies above 100 kHz; infrared keyboards and infrared pointing devices (such as mouse substitutes); all products for sale and/or use outside the continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska, or Canada.

♥♥♥♥♥

Excellent - Learning works like a charm

Pros: Learning function, great Customer Service, AUX device, button colors
Cons: upgradeability is via mail, not phone like higher models

I purchased this remote and its more expensive sibling, the 9910.

I needed to replace a still-somewhat functioning original remote for two (very old) Citek (by Teknika) televisions, so I bought both remotes just to make sure at least one would work.

After fruitlessly searching for codes for the Citek TV and re-attempting to put in the teknika codes a second time, I called One-For-All (a toll number, but no problem in my case) and read them the model number of the TV.

They said that this 8811 remote did not come with that code preprogrammed and in order to program it, I'd either have to get a higher end remote that could be programmed over the phone or send this one in to be programmed at their factory.

So, instead, I used the learning feature and "taught" the new remote each of the 20 or so keys on the original remote. After pointing the two remotes at each other and pushing buttons for a minute or two, it worked like a charm so I didn't need to send it in.

I then took it to the downstairs TV, an old Zenith, and I called them to see if this one had the code built-in (I left the manual upstairs). The rep very patiently stepped me through the now-familiar programming steps and gave me two possible codes for the Zenith, and I successfully, and relatively easily, programmed the Zenith as the AUX device.

I plan on buying two more of these and programming them the same way, so they can interchange the remotes - the Citeks work on TV mode, and the Zenith on AUX.

As a nice bonus, the main keys (Volume/Channel Up/Down, Power, and numbers) are gray, as opposed to the others which are clear/white, so it's easy to pick out the most frequently used buttons.

The buttons are also nicely and logically laid out as well.

The minor downside to this remote:
1. The One For All URC 8811 Premium Learning Line 8-Device Upgradeable Universal Remote Control is not upgradeable over the phone, like their other more expensive ones are - you have to send it in, which they said would take a couple weeks (one lady there said 10 days).

So, athough the remote has many, many codes, if your code isn't in there (as mine was not) you have to send it in.

If you have the original remote as I did, though, it should take any IR TV you throw at it, in my experience, thanks to the excellent learning function.
