Product Description
The RM-VLZ620 provides centralized control of all of your Audio Video devices, saving the trouble of operating other A/V devices with different remote controls. To use with non-Sony A/V devices, or Sony devices that are not preset at the factory , you need to set the manufacturer’s code for each device to any of the eight Device Select buttons. You can centralize control of all of your Sony devices and can also control non-Sony devices. You can teach the RM-VLZ620 new functions and perform a consecutive procedure by simply pressing one button.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
- Ergonomic refinements: a ribbed back and rubber strip around the edge (which I missed from my old RM-VL900 way back in the day) make it easier to grip, and the more conventional battery cover is more secure than on the VL610, which had exchangeable colored backs that were kinda neat but slid off too easily. The VLZ620 is slightly longer at the bottom, which makes the lower buttons more comfortable to use. The all-critical Button feel is pretty much identical to the old model - firm with decent feedback. It's not as tactile as the RM-YD029 that came with my Sony XBR TV, but better than the typical cheapo universal remotes from the cable company.
- Range and spread were always good on the VL610; never had any complaints. The VLZ620 packaging boasts "Ultra 3X" spread, with an illustration showing the IR waves spreading past 180 degrees. The IR lens has 3 convex bubbles which ostensibly spready the signal, and sure enough, you can point the remote almost completely backwards and it'll still register (at least on my Sony TV). Pretty impressive.
- The component buttons have been modernized: CBL/SAT is now the 2nd button next to TV (instead of DVD), the 3rd button button is now DVR/PVR, a BD (BluRay) button has been added, and TAPE has been removed (who has a tape deck anymore??). They also added a dedicated hard button just for TV power - very handy if your turn-on sequence gets out of sync and you need to power up/down your TV w/o leaving CBL mode.
- The numeric keypad has been swapped with the playback controls, so they're now below the volume/channel buttons at the bottom. I think another reviewer felt this was more awkward, but I actually find it to be a more natural setup - you can quickly grab the bottom of the control and operate the most critical buttons for TV watching w/o having to slide your hand up the wand.
- There's now a dedicated INFO button (yay, finally), arrayed around the cursor control along with GUIDE, FAVORITES and LIST, all of which are cable/satellite friendly. PAGE +/- are now just above the cursor, naturally positioned to the left and right. Overall the layout feels better generalized and more intuitive.
- The "record" function now takes only a single button to engage (it used to have a safeguard that required simultaneously pressing the play button) - more appropriate for the "record all the shows all the time RIGHT NOW" DVR age.
- The pre-programmed code for my Comcast Motorola DVR was not perfect, but a lot closer than the last model - I only had to reprogram a few functions. Looks like Sony put some effort into updating the codes.
The only negative I can think of is that the programming procedure is a bit more convoluted than before, requiring the entry of random 3 digit codes to enable different modes. Also, the remote times out programming mode a bit too quickly, annoying when you're rifling through the documentation looking for codes and sequences. Overall though it's all pretty straightforward and workable.
All in all, a solid 4-star product; for around 20 bucks, i'm uprating it to 5 stars for value.
p.s. I've seen a few comments about the remote requiring new alkaline batteries to function properly. Just FYI that I'm using a set of freshly-charged Sanyo Eneloop rechargeables with no issues at all, including the learning function. Other brands of NiMH rechargeables may not be as consistent (Eneloops are amazing), so YMMV; when in doubt, use fresh alkalines.
Sony's universal learning remote is the best one I've used. Its learning ability is unsurpassed. You can teach each button any command you want. I like to teach each device select key keys(individual keys) some of the same commands to control the same functions on my TV. What I mean is, I will set the cable select key to operate my cable box and (using my TV remote) teach some of the keys to operate the specific functions of my TV that I know I will also want to control. What I found superior with the Sony remote is it does not limit the learned keys you can program. I tried GE, RCA, and URC learning remotes where all of these could only learn a limited number of commands and then would not accept any other learned commands. For example, the URC-WR7 is limited to a total of 80 learned commands. Also, this Sony remote has more teachable keys than any other remote I tried. For each device (component) button there are 50 teachable keys as well as 4 system control keys. Each system control key can learn up to 16 consecutive key commands.
In functionality, I think this Sony remote is 5 stars. Very good IR range, precise operation and enough keys for most all operations. What is lacking is it's a bit difficult to teach (program) keys. You need to hold set until lit, press the round center button to hold set mode, then press 988 to enter key learning mode. Now, you choose (press) which device select button you want to teach keys, press the key you want to teach and then press the key on the (original) remote which you want to learn from. This wouldn't be so bad if you can just cycle through each key you want to teach except you must, again, first press the device select button every time to want to teach another key. Another (minor) negative is the keys layout...The number keys are on the bottom being a little difficult to hold the remote and press more than one key without it feeling like the remote may fall out of my hand.
Overall, I think this is the best learning remote for a reasonable price. There are many pre-programmed devices (components) to choose although it may not be your perfect choice if you don't have your original remote. The URC remotes seem to have more pre-programmed choices but, if you want to fully teach your remote to your precise key commands, this is the remote to get.
FYI: A few programming tips include not programming in direct fluorescent lighting or while a plasma TV is on. These may interfere with the IR signal. Also, you should try (test) programming a few keys at 1 inch versus 2 inches face-to-face distance to see which best accepts your key command(s) correctly. Another thing I figured out is you may have to press your original remote key fast or possibly hold it for a moment (especially for volume keys) to get the Sony remote to learn the key function the way you want it to operate.

I marked tech support as five stars because the instructions were good enough that I didn't need to call for technical assistance.
