Hey all. I am new to the forum so sorry if this doesn't make much sense right away.

I currently own mx450 remotes and just upgraded my receiver to marantz av7005. The installer said I'd need to upgrade to mx880 or mx980 in order to fully control 3 zones. I wanted to know if there is someone out there that can help me program the 450s or confirm he is right. I know the 880 or980 you need to get software for also which I dunno where I'd get it from.

What I need the remote doing is basically have the kitchen play iPod while family room has a blu ray on. Now it's playing the same thing in all zones.

Any help is very appreciated. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.

Thanks.
