One for All URC7880 Universal Smart Remote Control up to 8 Devices with Free Setup App - Easy Learning Feature - Infrared Connectivity Technology and 3 Shortcut App Keys – Black

I am quite surprised the best feature of the remote isn't mentioned.Called "Activity" (note the center of the remote), this is a "punch through" system, with a better design!"Punch through", for those who don't know, allows a button to take control of a specific device, regardless what device is selected. For example, if "punch thru" is set to a soundbar, TV volume changes the soundbar volume, not the TV volume. It's a great feature to have using multiple devices.Once two devices are set up, the Activity of those devices is automatically applied. No coding needed. The Activity button will select the proper input devices based on what devices are in use.It's not perfect, but it does work very well for basic control. I have an Oppo player, Samsung soundbar, and Sony TV, and by selecting the activity with all three devices, the soundbar automatically takes control of the volume.It will take a little bit of time to get the hang of Activity, but within a day, it should be second nature. It all depends on what devices are currently in use, and this is where the icons come in. Select "Movie" if the BD player is in use. Select "Music" if a receiver is being used (which will take control of play, pause, etc).Adding to the basic pre-defined lists are the options to make your own. Very well done!As anyone with an Oppo player knows, finding a universal remote to work well with it is impossible. Well, for starters, most universal remotes don't have a Subtitle option.With the learning ability, this is easily rectified. I used the 4 colored buttons to control basics such as subtitles, output display, eject, and repeat chapter. It took less than a minute to program all 4 options.Comments indicating this was "difficult" to program probably didn't read the instructions. There is only 5 seconds open to make a selection, or the current option is turned off. It is recommended to plan out what features to program while in learning mode, but it's as straight forward as any other learning remote.Most of the codes do bring in basic functions, including the Oppo, but legacy systems will need to be programmed.One caveat: be sure the remotes are nearly touching! Any gap between them will cause the read to fail and the attempt will have to be repeated. It seems the remote is sensitive to white light in the room.I haven't had any issues learning legacy codes, but none of my equipment is older than 25 years.I hope this review helps, especially if you're looking for a punch through system.Thanks for reading and have a great day.

This is an excellent remote for 2 reasons: 1: contact points metal rather than soft rubber contacts that wear out fast!2. Easy learning for old remotes and special feature remotes! The one BAD thing is that they have 3 ir transmitters which splash over to set off other devices. I took mine apart and removed the 2 side ir to make remote more directional. That fixed it.

Purchased a sound bar on sale to replace one that the subwoofer had given up on. Didn't realize it didn't have HDMI arc input, so I had to use an optical cable. This made it 3 remotes for TV, Google/Chrome TV and sound system.With this remote, I can control everything. It has a feature called "pass through" that sound control on that soundbar works on all inputs - so I do not need to switch to that unique device. It actually changes/does cable box things quicker on my cable box than my given cable box remote (not sure if this is because it had been dropped numerous times). It also has the "PP" button right between the channel up/down. On my cable box, this brings up the small menu box that shows what you have previously had watched - this is a great feature to have it right there between the channel up/down.As such, the only downside is the lack of back lighting on the remote. I'm sure once my brain is trained enough with this remote it won't be a problem, but it would be a great quality of life upgrade.

Have owned a One For All URC7880 since 2022. Bought @ Best Buy for $49.95. Works great, was easy to program & operates all of my devices TV, STB, BLU, AUD, DVD/VCR, Game, Media, S.Bar. I recently ordered 2 of these for $25.00. Thought I was getting a deal but much to my surprise, both of these were defective! Came from a company named Ebargain World. Not sure if they're related to One For All?Remote 1 would only toggle to TV & would not toggle to any of the other 7 devices so was not able to program anything but my LG Smart TV.Remote 2 would only toggle to TV, STB, BLU, AUD, Media but none of the other devices i.e. DVD, Game, S.Bar. Was able to program my LG Smart TV, DTV-STB but not able to program my Samsung-Blu even though I entered every available code more than once. After that, I gave up even trying to program my Toshiba DVD/VCR, Bose-AUD. Very disappointed. Not sure if these were closeouts or seconds?I'll either buy from Best Buy @ full price or try a different brand.
