Stovitch asked:


I have a Samsung BP-1500 blu ray and I can’t find a remote code that will control it on my all in one remote.

    Most universals, at their newest, will be several months old on the shelf, and probably that much longer for the age of the code database, which would exceed the market date of the players in question.

    I just checked the database and the BP-1500 is supported by the The Logitech/Harmony remotes. This includes anything from the 510 series up. NOTE: Blu-Ray players are currently listed in the DVD Player section in the Harmony database, so have a look there.

    You can find a complete list at the hyperlink below:

    Logitech/Harmony maintains an on-line database of over 5000 devices and is updated weekly. The remotes comes with bundled software that allows you to connect to the Internet, download new IR codes and transfer them into the remote over an included USB cable.

    I picked up the Logitech 550 a few months ago and only wish I would have bought it sooner. I even found codes for my Comcast DVR and a rather obsecure component switcher device. I can power everything on with a single touch and I can setup unlimted macros.
