The Philips SRU9600/37 Prestigo allows you to enjoy the home entertainment experience with the ease of one remote. Features easy-to-read interactive LCD screen that guides you through the settings as well as the different devices. The touch-sensitive screen which displays only those keys needed to control a specific device eliminates the confusion of matching the right buttons to the right devices. Use rotary cursor control for fast menu navigation. Features activity based operations as opposed to component based operations. By pushing "watch a movie" remote turns on all devices needed to watch a movie (TV, DVD player and surround sound). Activity based operations eliminates confusion of pushing multiple buttons in the correct sequence. Keys and display automatically light up when picked up making it easy to use in the dark. Remote has capability of controlling up to 8 home entertainment devices. Using the universal IR code database system, remote can be programmed to control most brands of audio/video equipment without needing to learn individual signals. The setup wizard provides a step-by-step guide that tailors the device to perfectly match your home entertainment system. It learns what equipment you have, and how it is interconnected so that it can create its own macros that allow full control of your home entertainment system. Prestigo remote has learning functionality allowing it to learn device codes from the original remote, simply by pointing to it.

Useful and a good deal
A little bit of older technology, but it is priced appropriately. The drawbacks are that it is somewhat of a battery hog, but it still gets pretty decent battery life. You do have to program it tactfully, as mentioned in other reviews, as the order that you program in is the order that your equipment will be displayed in the menu.edit: after several years of use. I contend that it was a good deal compared to other Universal Remotes, however the touch screen has become somewhat comburesome, it makes it harder to use. Since we've changed to DirectTV with a DVR not all the functions of the DVR are easily acessible so we end up using the DVR remote for the most part. Still use this remote to condense the DVD, TV, and Home Theater System into one remote. We've found the programmable functions to be very useful. So when we want to watch a DVD, we don't have to fumble around pushing multiple buttons. Just start the program and BAM! DVD ready to go.

Excellent product !
Goods received promptly and arrived in excellent condition using proper packaging to protect contents.Setting up the unit was easy and I did not have to look at the manual even.Just follow the directions given on the unit when setting up the different remotes.The touchscreen was responsive and overall the feel and quality was excellent for this price range.Cons:The batteries drain fairly quickly so it may be better to use rechargeables.The lack of an aircon remote learning function is another slight but non-fatal 'flaw'.

Wished it worked as well as it looks.
The remote looks very cool and was easy to set up, but it the end it went back. The scroll wheel is isn't that smooth and while clever is really annoying since you need to scroll through the different actions or devices. Direct access to functions would be easier and quicker. Also, touch screen would shut down quickly (probably to conserve batteries) but it became annoying since it was too quick. Decided to try the Harmony One.

Philips Prestigo remote
Easily programs basic features of remotes, but advanced features have to be programed one at a time. Like the large touchscreen.
