Review:I had a UCommand 525 by Crisp Solutions for just over two years when one of the hard buttons stopped functioning. It was the "amp" button which prevented me from selecting the device I wanted to use. I took it to a couple of electronic repair shops but they didn't want to touch it.
Eventually, I contacted the manufacturer by email. An individual named Eric, representing a man by the name of Alfred Liu, instructed me to send them my remote with $30, for shipping and handling, and they would send me a new one, by courier, it was implied. I did as they instructed, which at the time, I thought was very generous and noble of them. To make a long story shorter, after a couple of months and many emails and promises from Eric to send me a new remote I was informed, by yet another person named Frank, that Eric was on vacation. Not to fear though, for Alfred Liu had instructed him to send me a new remote. The whole process of emails and unfullfilled promises started all over again. Now, it has been almost four months and I've yet to see my new remote. I fear I will never see my remote or the $30 again. I have to say, this is a very poor performance by, what I thought was, a reputable company.

Review 9 made on Monday September 1, 2003 at 12:52 PM.
Strengths:Price
Low Power Needs
Weaknesses:Cannot transfer from one 525 to another 525. No one can help me with that (although i�ve tried it all (different cables, instructions from the internet etc.). I think the transfer-function simply doesn�t work !
Review:See above.

Overall, I like it, but miss the UDG (user defined graphics) and an USB-connector for programming / transfer of programmed data.

Weaknesses:poor Quality
Review:Hi
Ich hab mir das Teil bei activated bestellt war auch sehr zufrieden damit bis sie eines tages aufh�rte zu leuchten
sie wurde heiss und stank verbrannt! ich schrieb an activated die mir sagten ich kriege ein Austauschger�t das auch 2 tage sp�ter bei mir daheim war nach weiteren zwei tagen ging sie erneut in rauch auf !!!!
Daher bin ich von der qualit�t der Fernbedinung nicht �berzeugt

P.S. bei einer Fernbedinung f�r 79� finde ich kann mann wenigstens erwarten das Batterien im Liferumfang dabei sind

Review 6 made on Tuesday October 8, 2002 at 11:49 AM.
Strengths:Overall very good in my opinion ...

Recommended if you have a dealer which exchanges your 525 if there�s a hardware-problem with it...

... overall I raise my former ratings after using the remote for some time...
Weaknesses:Only can�t get the transfer-from-one-525-to-another-525 working...
Review:Sucessfully used with all of my device:



Imperial TV OK,

Toshiba VCR OK,

Orion TV OK,

Pioneer Equalizer OK, DVD see (*)

Onkyo AV-Receiver OK,

Blaupunkt VCR OK,

Panasonic VCR OK,

Yamakawa DVD OK,

Uher SAT OK,

SONY TV and CD OK,

Philips TV OK.



(*) I�ve can�t get a Pioneer DVD-player model DV-444 working with some functions (Power, Tray, Next) so I returned one of my two 525 to my dealer (www.activated.de) and get a new one.



With this one all functions of my Pioneer DVD-player can be programmed and controlled without any problem.

Review 5 made on Monday August 5, 2002 at 11:41 AM.
Strengths:- Einfach zu programmieren
- Logisches Design
Weaknesses:- Die wenigen Symbolen pro Taste sind
meiner Meinung nach NICHT so
dramatisch schlimm.
- Leiser Ton wenn Beleuchtung an ist
(small bzzz noise when Backlight on)
Review:Ich habe eine mit dieser Fernbedienung baugleiche Non-Brand (als ohne Herstelleraufdruck) Version in Deutschland bei www.activated.de f�r 119 EUR gekauft (incl. deutscher Anleitung von Fa. Activated). Als Modellnummer ist SRC-8000 aufgedruckt (Made in Taiwan).

Bin eigentlich sehr zufrieden damit,
und denke, dass werden auch die meisten
sein, die auf die selbstdefinierten Grafiksymbole verzichten k�nnen.

Hat alle meine Ger�te (Pioneer Equalizer, Sony CD, Yamakawa DVD, Grundig TV, Sony TV, Onkyo Verst�rker, Uher SAT, Sony Video) problemlos erkannt und hat eine sehr gute Abstrahlleistung.

Gru�!

Review 4 made on Thursday May 23, 2002 at 12:59 PM.
Weaknesses:Extremely Poor Reliability
Review:This is the third replacement for what started out as the ChrispSolutions UC515. My first unit failed after 6 months, second had problems out of the box, and this one lasted for a whopping 7 months. This company has an obvious quality control problem. I am scrapping mine
