The different universal remotes say they have a lot of codes and name brands, but a lot of these (audio) companies have someone else make the remote part for them. Even if they list your brand, it could be hit or miss, and may only work some functions. That company that makes them for a specific model, is something I haven't tried and can't make a comment. I use a universal learning remote to save the wear on the factory ones, plus convenience. I just let it learn what I need from the factory remote. If it's something that is mass produced like a TV, or other high volume product, then the odds are a lot better for a pre-programmed universal.
