Didn't even have to set it up to the TV, everything automatically connected. Much better than universal remotes that you have to manually set up to the TV and most of the buttons don't do anything. For someone who has the built-in DVD player TV in my bedroom, I hated having a universal remote. Had to put the DVD in, get comfy to watch the previews because I couldn't fast-forward them, then get out of bed to push play for the actual movie and have to get comfortable again. Other remotes seem to only function with the Power and Input buttons. I am very happy with this one.
