I share your pain. I was going to get the Marantz RC2000 (BFG-9000) remote until I came across Remote Central here. After two days of intense surfing, I decided that the Proto was really the way to go. I called QAudio (thanks for the prompt service) and had one Overnighted to me. I then turned around and Ordered at IR to X-10 interface just for grins. After 24 hours of pretty intese beaming, I'm nearly done, at least until the software gets here. So far, everything has worked flawlessly. The macros are a real kick in the pants. It has handled ALL of my equipment with no problems. Kudos to Phillips on a genuinely fine instrument that has my nifty meter pegged. So far, it's controlling the following...
Mitubishi 60703 TV General Instrument Digital Cable Box Pioneer 702 LaserDisk Yamaha RX-V2095 (love it) Proscan SVHS VCR Toshiba DVD Kenwood Cassette Kenwood 7 Disk Changer Kenwood AV Receiver Various X10 controlled devices, including dimming
Thanks to everyone on the forum for their helpful suggestions, careful (and sparse) criticisms and insights into this device.
