The Philips RC9800i Remote Control

Photobucket

The Philips RC9800i is a very unique remote. Coming from Philips you would expect some good quality; however, based on many customer opinions, the remote is actually not that good. The remote features a very friendly touch-screen interface, an easy set-up, Wi-Fi compatibility, etc, but lacks when it comes to actually working well.

The remote seems to lack compatibility with many electronics. It confuses itself thinking you are watching a DVD when you are actually just watching TV. Its reliability is extremely awful. When it comes to battery power, its reliability is also not good; but, if you don’t forget to charge it nightly, you should be fine.

It becomes even worse when it comes to its customer service. All they do is tell you that the remote won’t work and that you should return it and upgrade it. Not too helpful, huh? Overall, this device is not really worth it for its overpriced price.
