I found the transmit range of the IRIQ to be one of it's best features. In my system, which consists of a Proceed AVP, Pioneer Elite CLD-79, Onkyo CD player, Mitsubishi TV, Mitsubishi VCR, JVC VCR and an Onkyo receiver (used as a tuner for now), I was able to control everything from the other end of the room (about 17 feet away) pointing the remote away from the equipment.

The problem was that I couldn't get the Windows software and the unit to synch correctly when I tried to put 34 buttons for my AVP into it... I have since returned the unit.
