I'm replacing my old reliable Theater Touch T2 with (so far for me) an unreliable MC3000 using the MRF-300 unit. While my T2 worked in controlling my T60 without a glitch. I can't get the MX3000 to control my T60 using RF. As with the T2, I covered the entire T60 IR receiving window with black electrical tape. However unlike the T2, this doesn't work. I then tried uncovering the electrical tape and that doesn't work either. I have to use RF because my equipment is in a hidden closet. I cannot use direct IR (which seems to work).

Any help would be greatly appeciated since, starting out the gate with this remote, I'm failing already. Still have 8 more equipment to program and test.

Thanks in advance.
BTW, I'm already using dedicated Line 1, Repeat while button is pressed, and 4 repeat.

I got working by changing the ReceiverID rotatry back to ID 0. This is contrary to what the manual recommended (i.e., Set the RF ID# to any address other than ID 0). I should have noticed that the Status LED was not flashing for anything but ID 0. What gives? I don't understand why the MRF300 does not recognize other ID, but only ID0.

And yes, I did change the Reciver (e.g., Equipment Closet) to use the same ID as what I had set the RF ID rotary switch to. As a matter of fact, eventhough the rotary ID has been switched back to ID 0, the MRF300 in the equipment closet is still set to ID 2. So again, I don't understand why this set up is working when the IDs are different between the actual MRF unit and what I set the MRF300 on the MX3000 RF Option software.

If anyone can shed some light on this for me, I would appreciate it.

There are only two RF IDs you need to worry about...the one on the bottom of the MRF-300 and the one in the MX-3000 Editor software. They simply need to match. I don't know what other things you're talking about, but all of your actual components should be set to their default addresses, not changed from that.

Thank you,
