Just bought the Marantz RC-1200 for $160. Seems a little steep but I have 3 days to try it out and it was a local purchase. So far, I'm impressed. Has the combination of both hard buttons and LCD. Slight step-down from the RC-2000MarkII but $100 cheaper. Can't get every button programmed, but who uses every single button on every remote? I have just programmed a couple of remotes so far and it seems to be working great. Only downfall is that it is only pre-programmed with Marantz codes. However, all you do is point and push buttons to program. In the LCD window, if a button is labeled wrong, rename it! For example, there isn't a cable button on the remote, but it has a DSS button. When you press it, DSS shows up in the LCD. All I did was rename the LCD screen to say Cable. The hardest thing will be remembering some of the hard buttons are named different than the function programmed in (ie button says "Clear" but programmed for "Exit"). Will let you know if i encounter more problems. Still may take it back and wait for the MArantz RC-2000MKII to go down in price or for the Universal Mosaic to get a review. Thanks for all the responses.
