Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on One4All's IR & RF remotes - positive OR negative.

I am looking to get a remote that is compatible with IR & RF (obviously) and am wondering if their are any out there other than the One 4 All. I would like to get one with LED instead of the traditional buttons. Am I wasting my time looking for such a device?

I hope you don't mean it'll control RF devices like a bose syatem. If so, then forget it, doesn't exist. If you mean you want a remote "system" to control IR devices in one room from another, then this is possible. One option is the double pyramids. One drawback is you need a pyramid in every room you might want to control FROM, as well as the one receiver pyramid in the room with the actual devices. OFA and RS do have an IR/RF remote which "talks" to a receiver "command center" that converts the RF signal to IR for the devices to actually use. OFA model is 9910, RS is 2117 (but not yet released). There are older discontinued models that can be found at places like ebay, and closeout deals at some stores.

LED? all IR remotes have led's. Do you mean LCD? an lcd is a small screen similar to a normal digital watch. "Traditional buttons" suggest you actually mean a touchscreen. A full touchscreen would imply something like the pronto's. Others have touchscreens and hardbuttons, while still others have all "working' hardbuttons, and a lcd screen that shows limited information. Thus, you'll need to clarify just exactly what you mean. I don't know of any touchscreens that transmit RF. However, they will work with the pyramids, again so long as your NOT talking about devices that use RF signals.

The OFA and RS mentioned above are hardbutton remotes with an lcd screen. They transmit RF signals to their included command center which transmits IR to the actual devices. They retail for around 70.00 US.

Thanks for the reply, Jim. I'm glad you did because you taught me quite a lot about these "universal" remotes.

If I understand you correctly, when a product says they are IR/RF compatible, it means that they are able to transmit thier signal through walls (hence, the RF) - not actually control RF devices (yes, such as a Bose system). I was considering the OFA 9910 because the IR/RF feature and the comparably low price ticket. Now it seems rather pointless to get because it won't be able to perform the way I would like it to - I'd still be stuck with 2 remotes. This leads me to the next subject - a touchscreen remote.

You got it right when you inferred that what I meant was LCD. I guess I can go ahead and get one (looking at the Sony RM-AV3000) now that I know that even the OFA 9910 won't work with my entire system.

I guess I'm stuck in this position until I either get a new surround system or a new Bose (which, they tell me, are now IR compatible). Oh well...

Thanks for the info. It's been very helpful!

Don't do the OFA 9910. I have had one since November. Big mistake.

Tonight I'm looking for a way to contact OFA. Their site is dead or at least the URL on the back of the remote.

Can you elaborate on why you don't like the 9910?

so what does the bose code provided do. see code listing

It probably controls the IR controlled Lifestyle 28 & 35.

Hey Mike,
If it's worth spending a few bucks to be able to control your Bose with an infrared remote, BlueDo.com has a device called the C-1024 which will convert an IR signal into the RF signal used by your Bose, which costs $130.

However, to be able to use this device you need a programmable remote, such as the Pronto or a JP1 remote, because it doesn't come with a remote itself.
