Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
OneForAll SimpleSet - 3 steps to setup your brand - Smart Control - Contol your PS3 and your entire home entertainment system as if they were one device. One Touch Power Off - Just one keypress to turn off your PS3 Wireless - Battery powered for easy placement. SmartControl is the perfect universal remote for controlling all your HD digital equipment. It features One For All SmartControl technology that enables you to control main functions of main devices simultaneously without switching device modes. One button to control your devices simultaneously. Reviews: The OneForAll covers all the bases without costing you the earth. At £24.99, it won't break the bank and we found it simple and easy to use with a good quality feel. It isn't as sophisticated as Logitech's Harmony or Philips Prestigo range, but it is cheaper too.Overall we found the SmartControl to be simple to program and offering enough to control three devices without thinking. We especially like the fact that it would control the Xbox 360 too, which might be of interest to those who want to use it to watch movies or play music, or just browse around without firing up a controller. It's a shame you don't get PS3 control (which uses a Bluetooth remote, but it will reportedly control the PS2, which we didn't test).If you just want to reduce the number of remotes you need on a daily basis, the SmartControl will probably cover all your needs. Those with specific advanced requirements might want to look further afield. Techradar say - Universal remote controls come promising minimal handset juggling when turning on more than one piece of AV equipment at a time. But setting them up isn't always straightforward for novice users or sometimes even pros. One For All thinks it has an answer in the form of the Smart Control, a budget priced remote that puts less emphasis on trawling through lists of product codes to gain control of your kit.
Product Description
Universal remote control for six devices + wireless Bluetooth adapter for complete control of your Playstation 3. The Smart Control remote operation and the PS3 adapter give you full control over your home entertainment system, and allow you to combine the Playstation 3 and all AV devices into a single remote control unit.

This is the third All For One remote we have owned and they have all been superb.
On arrival I set it up for my TV, audio amp and PS3 no problem. Of course our Sony Freeview recorder wasn't programmed into the handset as it is quite new so as usual (I always seem to have something quite new when I buy a new remote!) I had to send it off to All For One for reprogramming, a service which they offer for the price of getting the remote delivered to them recorded delivery. It has come back today and I now have it set up for all my A/V devices and have also added my digital photo frame and remote lamp switch!
The only thing that lets this remote down is the manual. Some of the features are not mentioned (like macro recording) and don't seem to be on the website either. Their technical support however is very good and I soon had an email with the appropriate instructions.
Regarding the control of the PS3 which has been criticised elsewhere, this remote works just as well as the PS3 BD Remote which I no longer have to use. Both of them do very occasionally miss key presses but it is no more than many IR remotes often do.
All in all a top quality product, as I knew it would be.

This "limited edition" package comes with One For All's URC7960 SmartControl remote and a wireless adapter for PS3. The remote works fine, but its build quality can't hold a candle to even the cheapest Logitech Harmony. The keys feel spongy, as does the underside, and while it may look quite nice, it feels cheap and insubstantial in your hand.
The use/arrangement/lighting of keys are questionable too. When it comes to device selection, rather than having 6 keys requiring one button press to select the device you want, the remote has a left and a right key, often requiring 3-4 presses before you reach the right device. Some keys are placed in ways that make no sense, such as having a return key sandwiched between the channel up and channel down keys, and a next input/function key - one of the most important keys on any remote - that's mystifying placed at the very bottom and labelled AV/Clear.
In terms of backlighting, only the central ring and device/activity indicators light up when activitated, while the central ring flashes whenever any key is pressed, something that quickly becomes irritating since it serves no real purpose. However, there is one very good thing about the remote: it doesn't require connection to a computer in order to program it.
The real attraction of the package - or at least it should have been - is the PS3 adapter. This adapter is black (not silver as often shown in pictures) and runs on 2 (unsupplied) AA batteries. The adapter works, but not perfectly, and certainly not as well as Logitech's Harmony Adapter for PS3. All too often key presses result in a noticeable delay; either that or they're missed altogether. I tried several different scenarios: changing the position of the adapter, changing the proximity of the remote, even moving the PS3 itself, but the result was always the same, pointing to an issue inherent within the adapter.
For the price, many will probably be willing to overlook the deficiencies of these devices, but if you're looking for a remote to use with a PS3 a lot then this isn't the product to choose. The delayed/missed key presses are just too much to take. I give the product 2.5 stars, since it does work - it just depends how well you need it to work.
