Hey thanks for getting back to me guys... so this is what i have going on

Marantz av7005
Aragon Amp
Oppo blu ray player
Wii
WD TV live (going to connect it soon)
2 uverse boxes
ipod

the URC device i have is MRF-260

zone 1 (family room)- tv with 5.1 setup, uverse, blu ray
zone 2 (kitchen) - 2 speakers
zone 3 (master bed) - 2 speakers ..this room does have tv also and uverse which i like to turn the uverse onto the speakers at times

What i want to do is be able to control all those devices in zone 1..for zone 2 i would need only audio to work there from ipod uverse and bluray... for zone 3 i need only audio from uverse and ipod

I am open to getting any remotes but the problem is not having the software or really knowing someone with the software to do this for me... if there is someone local that would love to help me out i am open to paying for this too but would like it to be done correctly.

you suggested looking at the mx980 or mx5000 will these work with the receiver i have now? again sorry if im not making stuff clear im pretty new to all this.
