Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
One remote for your TV, VCR, SAT, DVD, Tuner, CD, AMP and Receiver
Make operating your home cinema easier than ever with just one easy-to-use unit that'll operate your TV, VCR, DVD, tuner, satellite receiver, digital set-top box, CD player, amplifier and receiver regardless of the brand or model. Enjoy one-touch convenience when watching your favourite movies.
Extensive infrared code database for most devices and brands
A universal IR code database refers to a library of infrared codes built in to a particular remote. This feature allows a remote to control your equipment without needing to learn individual signals. Select the correct infrared code sets in the database for the devices you want to control to enable control of virtually every audio/video system element on the market today – regardless of model or brand.
Easy-to-read 1.4" colour LCD display
A 1.4" (96 x 67 pixel) colour LCD display is foreseen to provide easy readability of the content on the screen.
Rotary cursor control for fast menu navigation
A cursor incorporating a rotary wheel enables you to navigate through the setup menu and the device pages, in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.
Activities to control multiple devices with one button press
Instead of operating your components one by one, activity-based control blends the most commonly used functions into activities such as "Watch a movie" or "Listen to CD". When a user selects 'watch a movie', rather than having the end user address each individual piece of equipment, such as DVD player, TV and multimedia receiver, one button holds all necessary commands to be able to start watching a movie: switch on the TV, switch on the amplifier and select the right input, switch on the DVD player and start playing.
LCD screen with backlighting for convenience in the dark
Backlighting is a feature that illuminates the LCD screen or keypad for use in the dark. The two most common types of backlighting are LED and electroluminescent (EL). Remotes backlit with LEDs are typically bright but uneven with a yellow or green colour, while EL panels are smooth with blue, white or green shades.
No manual needed for setup
Unlike other universal remote controls, where a 3-digit code needs to be input to identify a brand and device, this remote incorporates on-device step-by-step instructions for setting up your equipment, regardless of brand.
Convenient IR learning from another remote
Learning functionality refers to the process through which a remote control captures and stores infrared signals from other remotes for later use. When device codes are not included in the on-board database, they can always be learned from the original remote, simply by pointing to it.
Easily add and label extra functionality
Improved way of adding and labelling functions makes it easier and faster to add extra functionality. So, no more missing functions.

Great remote. Within an hour of unpacking it i'd got it working with all my living room equipment (Bose Ipod Dock, Philips TV, LG surrund system, Sky HD) and had set it up to activate stuff like switching between watching Sky to watching a DVD, no more fussing with three remotes.
It didn't have the Bose ipod dock on its database, no worries, as I still had the old Bose remote, the new one simply 'learned' the keys.
Very easy to set-up, great quality, highly recommended.

This is my first universal remote and I'm very pleased with it. Set-up is very easy and quick and you could be finished in under an hour setting up 4 or 5 devices. At each stage of set-up you are guided through the process by on-screen prompts that makes it very easy to follow. If you're lucky, the remote control's database of other remotes will include the make and model of your existing remotes and within a couple of clicks your old remote is replaced by the SRU8008. If it's not in the database then the SRU8008 can learn your old remote's functions and that's also very simple to do.
If you want to get more adventurous you can program in Functions and ask the remote to perform multiple actions in 1 button click, e.g. do all this: turn on the tv, turn on the sound system, switch the sound source to dvd, turn on the dvd, and, eject the dvd tray. These are really cool!
The hardest part of using the SRU8008 was stopping myself reaching for the old remote controls... old habits die hard. The SRU8008 is exactly what I hoped for and now I have just 1 remote control replacing 5 others which are consigned to the draw for ever!

How many times have you bought a 'universal' remote control only to find it's difficult to get working on all of your equipment, and is finally consigned to the drawer?
Not any more! This is a excellent remote that allows you to assign almost any key to any function of any piece of equipment. Simply amazing. It's really easy to program - it just learns from your existing remote controls. As long as you have the old remote control, it doesn't matter what type of equipment you have or how old it is. If the equipment works from an infa-red remote, the SRU8008 can probably operate it!
In less than an hour, I now have a single remote that works with my new Philips TV and DVD player, and the V-plus Cable box from Virgin Media.
It also looks gorgeous, by the way, finished in high-gloss black plastic with a clear, full Colour LCD screen.
Top product. Can't fault it at all.
