Actually its not always the Pronto. Sometimes both remotes have failed simultaneously. I agree with QQQ that sometimes I'd like to kick the f----g thing into the woods.

The most recent problem was fixed with a 791-44 instead of the 789-44. This block has 10 ports instead of 4. I usually only use it when I've got a major stack of components but the jumpers that come with it and INCREASE the power of the unit fixed my Motorola Cable box and the Marantz receiver. I also switched the 480-80 CFL unit to a 480-00 upon vwpower's idea.

I know that you really need to just take the time and go through the process to make it work but I posted because of the intermittent nature of some of the problems. I'm still looking for the control system priced below Crestron-AMX thats nearly as bulletproof (I know they are still the best and if someone REALLY wants reliability thats where we should go. I guess the economy still effects too many of my clients because I have a hard enough just time selling a color Pronto.

Who uses the MX3000 RF package... still haven't given it a fair shake yet but we do have the remote here to play with... it has to be more reliable than the terrible joke that a Philips RFX6000 is.
