These were made years ago and have no support now
I bought a new 9910 model in December of 2005 as they were ending their run for $36.99 and it served me well. The 8910 is the same unit but without an RF signal so you can’t use the remote from other rooms. I purchased an 8910 to use with another A/V in another room. That is when I discovered possible problems with buying either one of these now.
The previous user had changed the mode on the TV key. I gave up on following the two pages of instructions on non adjacent pages to reverse this. The second page tells you to follow the instructions on another page but do this and that differently. I'm pretty good at programming remotes but couldn't do this quickly enough to keep the remote from going out of programming mode before I could flip pages, find my place and press the next button in the sequence.
None of the reset to original procedures cleared the TV mode changes that had been made. I went to the website and there is no support for this model. After several attempts I grew bored with waiting for an answer on the phone number listed for help and gave up on it.
Also there are two layouts with each of these models. One '9910B01' has separate buttons for the up-down-right-left around the select button. The other '9910B02' has a ring around the select button. It is very difficult to use so beware of it.
Just be aware that if a unit has been altered in certain ways it may be unusable and there is no support for these from the manufacturer which eliminates the upgrades to codes that they had way back when they were made so they may not even operate your equipment.
Also don't count on programming everything via the learning function. I only used that for a few buttons and ran out of memory. You may need all the memory just for the things you use that the 'code' for your product doesn't cover. My 9910 is now starting to lose function of some of the keyboard buttons (like 'play' and 'down') as will any heavily used remote after a few years. I don't plan to replace it with a used one or an old but unused one because of the problems discussed above.
When these were being made I would have given them an Excellent rating and tremendous value but now you are taking a big chance that it will not meet your needs.

Good product!
1 of 2 found this helpful It's as good as the 8 mg cartridges get, price is competitive, and shipping is very fast for the required ground! There are the usual number of duds and some of the boxes will be ripped on the corners. No surprise there as the large box weighs a ton. Even with the chargers empty the local recycling center won't let dump them normally but make me pull up to the backhoe and slide them into the lift bucket. No fault to anyone. It's just a wasteful expensive system. Someone needs to come up with a better system for volume use. But I am a happy camper here. :)
I have yet to see a better system with better pricing per mg. There are a few 16mg chargers out there but they have to be placed in a screw together adaptor to use. I was using them for the pint creasmers until the adaptor came apart while loading. The charger felt like a shotgun shell going through my curled up hand at the barrel end of a shotgun. Luckily it didn't injure my hand but I can't say that for the light it hit and destroyed. It was a shop magnifying glass with the circular fluorescent light bulb for enhanced lighting. I managed to bend the metal so I could replace the light and use it again. But I'm still cleaning the glass up in the work area and don't now if I will ever finish. If you have ever broken a fluorescent light bulb you will know what I mean. The thin glass turns to dust and goes everywhere, getting into everything. It took me a couple of days just to get a couple of keyboards working again. And I felt lucky. I didn't injure my hand or another person in the room as I was alone at the time.
The gas even cost more per mg though it was mitigated by the lack of loss from being able to charge a pint creamer with one, rather than the usual two chargers, thus the leaked gas from removing the first 8mg charger was eliminated. Of course with the 'explosion' loading I lost all 16mg. Not something I thought much about at the time considering the damage done and danger avoided via sheer luck.
