Lidl's Silvercrest 8 in 1 Universal Remote (with PVR button) works with learning

[yost]

Silvercrest 901 URC (it is probably a rebranded one). Bought it today for £5.99.

Press PVR button. Set it to the first Sony (code 005). Keep "set"-pressed and select "learn". Learn the keys of the neuros 1 by 1.

Presto... it works.

Now I can operate everything from une universal remote & have an alternative should the proper remote get damaged.
I think Lidl sell the same universal remote in more EU countries.


Hope it works for you too.

I find th neuros is slightly more responsive to this remote.

I am not 100% sure on this, but I think the remote for the Neuros may be a bit quirky.

When you set the universal remote to "learn" (a mode where universal remote tries to read and remember codes sent from an original remote) .

The Neuros remote codes appear often not to be sent successfully until you let go of the key.

For example: When you try to teach a key to the Universal and the universal does not come up with "success" it is tempting to just keep the key pressed on the Neuros Remote (hoping it will be interpreted correctly). It turns out to be much more effective to briefly & repeatedly press a key on the Neuros remote (rather than to just keep a key pressed).

Hope this is a clear enough description.
