Remote Control Combinational Universal Learning Controller Chunghop L108E for TV/SAT/DVD/CBL/DVB-T/AUX Big Button

I really like this Chunghop L108E remote. For a long time, I have wanted for our guest bedroom a small, big-button remote with LEARNING capability, so that I can teach codes to the remote on a button-by-button basis. But I have never seen a big-button remote with button-by-button learning capability, until I saw and purchased this remote (which has worked out perfectly for my needs). The information offered about this remote on its Amazon page is somewhat sketchy, as is the extremely short instruction sheet that comes with it, so I offer a few comments below that might possibly be helpful to others.SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE REMOTE:1) Unlike most after-market remotes, this remote does NOT contain any pre-programmed information for any TV, cable box, or other device such as a TV or cable box. Therefore, you cannot simply enter a 4-digit code and then have all of the buttons on the remote suddenly be capable of operating your particular device. Instead, every button on this remote must be separately and independently programmed from or more separate remotes, button by button. (Consequently, as one aspect of this, if you have lost a remote and are looking for a replacement, don't buy this remote, because you would need to have the lost remote in hand in order to program this remote).2) Most aftermarket remotes have two or more "device" buttons where, for example, you press a "TV" button and a group of buttons then control your TV, or you press a "Cable" button and then that same group of buttons switches over and controls your cable box instead of the TV. But this remote does not have any such "device" buttons. Instead, aside from the Set button, all of the buttons are effectively equivalent for programming purposes, in that each button can learn one and only one IR code. (This includes the "A" through "H" buttons, which have no special capabilities, and are merely extra general-purpose buttons). In other words, aside from the Set button, this remote has 28 buttons, so the remote can learn a maximum of 28 IR codes. As one aspect of this, you cannot program this remote in a manner so that pressing just one button causes the remote to emit a series of two or more different IR codes (e.g. one code to turn on your TV and then another code to turn on your cable box).3) The instructions do not disclose any way to erase all programming and thus reset the remote to its factory condition. Nor do the instructions disclose any way to erase just one button. On the other hand, if a button has already been programmed and you want to change it, you can simply reprogram that button, without any need to first erase it.4) The IR codes that you program into this remote are stored in non-volatile memory so, even if the batteries are removed for a long time, the remote won't forget what you taught it.5) This remote can only learn infrared (IR) codes from other remotes, and not radio frequency (RF) codes. (Thus, for example, it can't learn RF codes from the remote for a Roku device).PROGRAMMING THIS REMOTE:1) As with any learning remote, before trying to teach this remote any IR codes, it is advisable to put brand new batteries into this learning remote, and also into the teaching remote.2) When programming most learning remotes, you first press a button on the learning remote, and then a button on a teaching remote. But with this Chunghop remote, the opposite is true. You first press a button on the teaching remote, and then a button on this learning remote, as explained below.3) Put this learning remote and the teaching remote head to head on a flat surface with their IR emitters facing each other, about 1-3cm apart.4) To enter the programming mode, press and hold the Set button on this remote for about 2 seconds, until the red LED comes on and stays continuously on.5) Press and hold a button on the teaching remote until the LED on this learning remote starts blinking slowly, and then release the button. Next press a button on this learning remote and hold it while the LED begins flashing quickly and then until the LED stops blinking and stays continuously on, and then release the button.6) Optionally, to program additional buttons on this remote, repeat Step 5 as many times as needed.7) When finished with programming, press and release the Set button to exit the programming mode. The LED will go off.

The programming instructions are cryptic at best. They are easily misunderstood. I have purchased two of these and had to struggle figuring it out.Here are the proper procedures:I have purchased two of these. Programming instructions are cryptic and easily misunderstood.Programming instructions.1. Align sensor and transmitter on a table as shown.2. Press and hold the s button until it becomes solid, then release.3. Press the button you want to program on the original remote. If the s button does not start flashing, your alignment is off. Move it around till it does begin to flash. This means the sequence from your original remote has been learned.4. Now press the button on the chunghop remote you wish to have this recorded sequence. If successful the s button light will briefly display a rapid flash sequence indicating that button has received that sequence and is programmed properly.5. The s button light will stay on after the rapid flash, press the s button to turn it off to end programming. Test the function to verify operation on the controlled device.

Good size buttons. Good for seniors or those with poorer vision. Nice basic remote. Not complicated.

Just could not get it to work. I was trying to use it for a DAC that had a volume control as a receiver and I tried it on another device and all I needed it to do was go to the menu and then go to the next song, no joy. it never worked for me but at the price point I did not even bother to return it. Sad.

This remote is pretty basic, but reliable. Programming is simple using an original remote, but sometimes needs a couple of attempts to get a button to take. Once they're set they stay programmed.The buttons don't repeat. Most remotes will repeatedly send the signal if you hold a button, but this one only sends one signal per button press, so it's hard if, for example, you want to quickly turn up the volume a lot.

I knew going into it that this remote would be cheap looking, it's light, and the silver finish on plastic never holds up over time.Having said that, it's dirt cheap, all buttons can be programmed, and it works... which is all I needed it to do.I'm using it as a backup for an expensive HDMI matrix box that came with a credit card remote. You need the remote to run the box, and those remotes have even shorter lives. I figured the chance of being able to get a replacement later is pretty much zero, so I've copied the remote into this thing and use this as the daily having stored the original. 100% happy with it for that purpose, thus the 5 stars.Having said that, I'd pay twice as much for the same thing with a better black finish and no goofy logos. It's ugly.It's also very simple in arrangement with big buttons so it'd be a good "simple" replacement option for folks that need bigger buttons than most chiclet size buttons oem remotes have these days.
