As opposed to doing what?! Lol! Yes, it'ss a universal remote that will control all of your components in one...that actually works all commands on all of them (at least I haven't had anything yet it doesn't work and we have/have had a slew of components), no more needing a handful of remotes on hand and it can be programmed to do all kinds of commands, batch series of commands, etc. Highly recommend the Harmony Touch 15!
