Take control of your entertainment center and stop juggling an armload of remote controls with the Samsung Axession SAM2000 Learning Remote, which can control up to 12 devices. It has an extensive library of pre-programmed codes for a wide range of stereo receivers, DVD and CD players, TVs (from all manufacturers since 1981), and more. However, if your component isn't included in the library, the SAM2000 can "learn" commands from your other remotes. It has 10 component modes--TV, Cable box, Satellite box, DVD, VCR, CD, Tuner, Amp, Combo (for VCR/TV or VCR/DVD combination components), and PVR (for TiVo and ReplayTV components)--as well as two Auxilliary slots for components not listed or an additional DVD player/recorder. You can also easily program the SAM2000 to turn on or off two or more components with the press of a single button.

The remote has two directional keys in the top right corner of the remote that enables you to scroll through the list of component modes. The LCD screen reconfigures to display the availalbe controls for each component--for instance, the DVD controls screen features icons for playing, forwarding, reversing, and pausing, while the Tuner controls screen displays selections for accessing radio, TV, DVD, VCR, and others. To access a function on any screen, press the button that sit next to the LCD screen's displayed function.

Sleekly and ergonomically designed, the SAM2000 feels comfortable in your hand and features an easily readable, backlit LCD screen, which changes configuration based on the device you select to control. The SAM2000 will automatically turn off after 2 minutes of continual key pressing, and it will also power down the LCD screen after the device remains inactive for 30 seconds. Press any key on the remote to resume power and normal functioning. The SAM2000 is powered by three AAA batteries (not included).

If a home entertainment component isn't found within the included codes, or you want to modify the function of a specific button, the SAM2000 remote control can easily be taught functions by your existing remote control. Where many learning universal remote controls will pick up signals from the main IR transmitter, typically at the top of the remote, you have to point a component's remote at an IR receiver at the bottom of the SAM2000.

1. Press and hold the SETUP button for about three seconds, until the LED indicator at the top of the remote (where the IR transmitter is located) begins flashing.
2. Select the Learn option from the menu, then choose the component mode (such as Tuner or DVD). Press the SETUP button again to acknowledge this component.
3. Aim your component's original remote at the IR receiver on the bottom of the SAM2000, with a distance of about two to three inches between them.
4. Press the function button you wish to change. The screen displays "SND1," prompting you to press the desired function key on the original remote. Keep pressing, and you'll hear a ticking sound from the SAM2000 as it receives the signal.
5. The SAM2000 will emit a beep and display "SND2," prompting you to repeat the pressing of the function key on the component's remote to ensure that the signal has been correctly captured.
6. Press another button on the SAM2000 to teach it a function, or press the SETUP button to end th learning session.

Not every function from a component's remote can be learned--especially function buttons that continue to make changes when you hold down a button, such as a station preset scroll button on a tuner--but you'll find a majority of controls can be taught to the SAM2000.
