Difference between the "RC65X" and "RC65" remotes?

[NathanR]

Well title says it all. What is the difference between the "RC65X" and "RC65" remotes?

The RC65 is IR only and the RC65X is IR and RF.

Not quite, the RC65X is the 2-way prog version of the RC65, but is still IR ONLY.

The RC65R is the RF version remote of the RC65, but does NOT have the 2-way prog feature of the RC65X.

The RC65RX is the RF version of the RC65X, and DOES have the 2-way prog feature.

Then there is the RC65RB, which is the backlit version of the RC65R - so it does NOT have the 2-way prog feature.

So just everything is clear - there are currently 5 versions of the RC65 series of remotes...

Wow! Thanks! Didn't know that. The "look up" tools didn't have the right codes for my new Samsung TV and DVD. The auto-program feature "X" remote worked.

What's the 2-way prog feature? Thanks.

You enter the model number into an HR24 or H24 Remote setup utility, hold the remote near the HR24 or H24, and it automatically programs the remote.
