Sony RM-AX4000 Remote
Pros
Software programmable, nice blue illumination..
Cons
Simply won't work for other manufacturers products.
Recommended it?
No
The Bottom Line:
Don't bother. It's not worth the money and the older Rm-AV3100 is a better unit.
I purchased this unit because I was so happy with the previous model and thought this would be an improvement but I was so wrong.
I have owned a number of Sony remotes and each one was better than the previous model so I thought this would be also, but I now think it's a major step backwards.
Obviously Sony wanted to join those like Logitech who allow programming of the remote via the PC and this part isn't too bad. I found the software easy to understand and use, but then I'm an IT pro so that may make a difference.
My objections are with the remote itself.
I have a Panasonic Plasma TV which the remote refuses to turn on no matter how it's programmed.
I also have a Technics AX7 Receiver which the remote refuses to learn functions like Display for.
I have other examples I could list.
The Express mode turns on some things but not others.
I programmed the remote via the software and directly with the same result.
Making this short and not wasting your time regarding what others have already said here this is a major step backwards for Sony demonstrating that I think Sony is not putting as much R&D into their products as they used to leading to this poor product.
