Hi all,

I have a HD Plasma TV, 2 DVD players and 1 VCR player.
The DVD & VCR players are connected to the TV as AV1, AV2 & AV3.

The TV remote controller is fairly complicated for my dad to use i.e. selecting TV and AV channels because he is old and does not read much English.

I am looking for a fairly simple universal remote controller that will allow me to
- setup his favorite TV channels (about 6) so that he can just press the hard buttons to go direct to the channels.
- have channel up and down arrow keys to select other TV channels if he so choose.
- Easily navigate from 1 AV channel to another using a single hard button or several hard buttons.

I've done some research but not able to find something suitable. Any recommedations?

Many thanks,
Lobbie

Any recommendations, anyone?

Hi all,

Sorry to bump this again...any recommendations or suggestions, dear experts?

Thanks,
Lobbie

I'm not really what you would call an 'expert' but you might want to try the Sony RM VLZ620 Universal remote control. I have the previous model, RMV-L600, and it was really easy to set up. Depending on the TV (I am using a Sony) I set mine up for one button to bring up my favorites (as far as OTA TV channels) and I just scroll down and select. It's that easy. No software involved. Like I said I am no expert and I had no problems setting this up for my wife. You can even set up macros. Amazon has it for under $20.

Thank you, Sir. Will definitely check your suggestions out.
