How difficult is it to program? I have a tv,dvd, cable box and a sound bar. Does it have codes like the URC RF20 or do you use a computer? Will it learn all of the functions of each device?

The remote gets connected to your computer. You follow some relatively simple instructions. Logitech's website enters the codes and functions for you.

You hook up to your computer via provided USB cable and logitech software(comes with disc or free download from logitech.com) should open. Click add device and enter the model # of each device and it's added. Once you have everything entered you can create "watch tv" or "watch DVD" etc and it will walk you through the steps. From my experience it did a great job of getting the essential functions of each device correctly right off the bat. I found it very easy..maybe a little time up front to get it all entered but all in all it was user friendly IMO. Good luck!

When I programmed my Logitech I wrote down the model # s for each of my devices and used them to program each device. Was pretty simple.

I have an Element TV and the remote works great for it and for other devices (DVD). JVC is also listed So it should just need to program right code Hope I Helped Plus the option for lighted buttons is great for bedroom TV

Read and follow the instructions that came with the sound bar. I had no problem getting it programmed by following the very simple instructions.

I got a manual with mine. It works well. Programming it with the remote is tedious at best but you can plug it into your computer for initial programming.

If you can figure it out, how to program it, it probably could. I think this remote is very poorly thought out. I have found it almost impossible to program for a system that includes tv, stereo, dvd, and cable box (u-verse). The instructions are worthless and I gave up on trying to get it work. I have went back to Logitech Harmony(s). They do not last very long, but very easy to program and work very simply. I am sorry that I wasted my money on the URC R40. And I am a pretty knowledgable person on computers and electronics; build pcs. Just my two cents worth.

The unit comes pre programmed for 16 different channels. The only way to change a channel is to buy a programming cable that plugs into the unit and a USB port on a computer. Next a special program has to be downloaded to program the unit. Details can be found online. The low cost is due to the lack of a display and buttons and thus the need for computer programming. Mike

Well, in the past I had programmed the original Vizio power button to power on the DVD player, TV and Cable Box at the same time. All worked well until my cable provider (Time Warner updated their software) then I noticed that the codes for some of my devices had been deleted and would no longer work. I had since replaced the original Vizio remote and find that the multi device power button does not work. It now seem that the codes for some older devices are longer supported by the cable company. I experienced the loss of functioning device codes on my Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote also shortly after the cable provider software update...strange!

I wish I could but I'm as clueless as anyone. I would love to see a "How To Program and Set Up Various Items For Dummies". I buy things and then can't get them to work & it's usually too late to return. Help!!! Susan M.

I have a URC-R40 remote and it has a learning capability, so, yes, I "taught" all the remote codes for this sound bar to the the universal remote. I have every function on the LG NB430B programmed into the universal remote. The volume control is passed through when the remote is in TV mode, DVD/BluRay, DVR, etc. In other words, regardless of the device I am controlling, the volume buttons always control the sound bar volume.

you betcha! you can also program with current remote for TV. Provided remote has controls for bar volume and also one for sub woofer volume. Adjust bar/TV and sub volumes from one or two points. Bar is programmable. Only issue I have iwth bar remote - it is the size of a key fob (sp) so easy to lose track of if you do not program all to your TV remote. :)

I had no problem programing my unit. I found it similar to setting a digital watch. One button steps you through the modes while another button selects the value in that mode. The instructions were a little vague but understandable. I really don't know what to tell you without more details.

You need a working IR Remote to program it. The programming is simple, but the number of buttons is limited. Buttons that are missing are Mute button, and the Exit button. You can program for up to 2 devices in it.

I had trouble programming the code for the TV but I was doing it wrong. You hit Prgm button then enter the code to your TV (found on the last page in SMALL print!) & then you must hit the OK button! Then you try to adjust the volume using the remote. If the TV changes volume, then you found the correct code. If no volume change, then you have to enter the next code listed for your TV (doing each step I described). I had to enter several codes before I found one that worked. Helpful tip: write your TV code on the front of the digital converter box instructions & keep it handy. When the remote batteries get changed, you will need to reprogram the remote! Good Luck!

I was able to get it to learn codes from devices fairly easily. I had a Gefen HDMI switchbox it couldn't get though, but switchboxes are not listed as a device it can control like a DVD player and such.
