Hello,
I saw this new remote on the CEDIA Expo 2007 video. I have been looking for a hand held remote that would replace my table-full of remotes. I also want one that would use RF as my equipment is behind cabinet doors. And finally, I want a remote that the macros work EVERY TIME (very important). From what I understand, this would require an RF base station that communicates with my equipment via IR and RS232 (my receiver is a Denon 3808, and has a serial port).

From what I have learned, RS232 is a complicated affair and I would prefer to have the remote professionally programmed so that it works correctly every time.

So now my question:

Does the MSRP of $699 include programming, or is that additional?

The T2C-s isnt available as of yet, maybe later in the year...march or so.

The current T2C is available but has a retail of 899.00, or the step down of the T2+ at 599.00

the 232 isnt bad once you understand the strings(layout of the code)

RTI has been an awsome product for us, the new products that are coming will even better the line.

the RP-6 has optional sensors to let the system know if something is on or not if you dont have discrete codes..Older VCR's, some DVD players and TV's as well as other items.

The price is for the remotes only, programming is additional as well as installation of the RF base unit and emitters...emitters would also be extra...12.00-15.00 each

where are you located, as many members here are RTI certified programmers and one of us maybe close to you.

the current line of RTI remotes are, U1, T1, M2, T2+, T2C, T3 and T4

I am in San Diego. I once had a (very early) Pronto but I didn't like it for two reasons: I found I really liked a hand-held much more than a touchscreen as i use the butons by feel a lot instead of looking directly at the remote, and secondly, it was IR only and some of my equipment didn't have discrete on/off/input codes and the macros therfore didn't always work.

That's why I am looking for something like the RTI. I also would like to hopefully check out these remotes in hand, so to speak.

Thanks for your response.

T2C MSRP $899
RP6 Processor MSRP $599
Emitters 15-25 each
RM433 Antenna MSRP $150 each (at least 1 required)

Installation and programming extra.

If none of your equipment is identical, then the RP6 can be replaced by the RP1 at MSRP $399. The RP6 has IR routing, the RP1 does not.

There are lots of these in the field of every model that I programmed but once I programmed one for myself I learned that I like buttons too. I don't want to have to look at the remote, that is, look away from the TV, to do everything except volume, and I don't channel surf.

With a few exceptions, there are workarounds for this, and I've found most of them on or through remotecentral. Of all of those remotes I've programmed, I think three have leftover commands with no workarounds. If your Pronto couldn't do this, it was a lack on the part of your programmer, or perhaps it was any programmer up to advanced genius level who hadn't heard of this site!

I think member SOUND.SD is in SD, that is, San Diego. You shold look him up.
