RCA RCU800 universal remote

Date Published: 1/3/06

RCA's RCU800 is a simple yet comprehensive universal home theater remote control, ideal for use as a replacement for an older model or to coordinate various components in a system. This black remote can manage a TV, two VCRs, a DVD player, a satellite receiver, an audio receiver, a cable box, and an auxiliary component.

The RCU800 is preprogrammed for most RCA models, and components from other manufacturers can be programmed in either by manually entering the supplied product codes or by activating a code search, which the remote will conduct on its own. It is configured with picture-in-picture controls for swapping the main window and the PIP window, relocating the PIP window, and freezing the main screen to a PIP window. Home theater enthusiasts will be able to access surround sound controls. A sleep timer adds to the basic but versatile functionality of the RCU800.
