Cons Expensive but there is a market for this and I'm it.
Recommended it? Yes

The opportunity to share my experiences about a product that exceeded my expectations is a unique situation. I expected to enjoy playing with and learning to use my new Philips RC9800i Touchscreen Remote Control. The idea of replacing all the remote controls in the house with a single unit appealed...

Pros Intuitive operation and Large Touch Screen Display
Cons Expensive, can be confusing, set-up is time consuming, battery life should be much better
Recommended it? Yes

I really like the idea of eliminating all the typical Remote Control clutter with a single unit that can control all A/V-Media components, although I am not really a universal remote control sort of guy. Like many consumers, I am a bit intimidated by how complicated all-in-one RC units are to... Read full review »

Philips RC9800i LCD Touchscreen Remote Control Is One Controlling Device

bymind-full Feb 22, 2006
59 Helpfuls 60 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Indispensable for anyone with wireless systems and too many remotes
Cons A lot longer learning curve than I expected, no child lock.
Recommended it? Yes

I have here an item that makes the "control issues" you may have at your house go away. No more disagreements over who lost what when and who took something somewhere and just where is it now when I need it so badly.

You will no longer experience the fumbling grapple on your end table or... Read full review »

Pros price, screen, wifi, epg
Cons a bit slow, no customisation of keys
Recommended it? Yes


Ok, i bought this with much caution, many forum posts complained about the unit being junk and functions not working as advertised. Now on of the main reasons i got this was that i like gadgets and have a fetish for touch screens.

The unit itself - a refurb for 159 dollars, looks... Read full review »

Pros Ease of use, size, product support, price
Cons Fikle batteries.

It is about damn time they came up with a functional affordable remote to replace the gaggle of plastic and batteries on my coffee tables. So I bet you want to know what I loved and hated about this thing. Remember to visit Philips site for all that good technical stuff, this is a review and... Read full review »
