    This remote was easy to operate and effective at long distances (30 ft or more) .  The design was ok but I can't complain because its so big its easy to find. "Our universal cable remote had codes for Yamaha receivers, but none of them worked with the receiver model we just bought. Not wanting to fuss with multiple remotes, we knew this meant that we needed to buy a learning remote.

    rtoy: Your post regarding the "Jumbo - Universal Remote" makes reference to a learning function and macro keys that do not appear on the Innovage/Emerson Jumbo Universal Remote that most all other posters are writing about. Also, the separate on and off keys seem to be unique to your version. Would you be willing to share more about your model; such as a physical description of the item, the manufacturer on the label, where you made your purchase, and any manufacturer/reseller contact info in the product documentation? A link to photos would be welcome as well, but may be too much to ask. An oversized learning remote could be truly invaluable to many users, but my fishing has not yet turned up any leads aside from your post here. I do look forward to your reply. My thanks in advance. -James
