Universal Remote MX-650 Omega Remote Control for Audio Video TV

Home-Theater is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately you can get bogged down with a whole basket of remote controls to operate all the TV and sound equipment. There's an effective and reasonable alternative that can help make your life and home-theater use much easier. Unlike most remotes that use InfraRed signaling (which requires line of sight), the Univeral Remote MX-650 Omega Remote Control uses radio frequencies to adjust settings of up to 20 components from up to 100 feet away. Each of the 20 components can be programmed with up to 4 pages of LCD screens, plus the 33 hard buttons. The MX-650 allows you to edit the text on each LCD screen exactly as you prefer (up to 26 screens with 10 buttons per screen, for a total of 260 available text buttons and up to 5 characters per button). One Year Parts and Labor Warranty from Universal Remote Requires 4 AAA batteries (not included)

Great remote.. works thru walls with the receivers can control nearly anything. Can set receivers to only receive your signal so 'interference' from other remotes in the area will not control your 'stuff'. Learning remote will even works with Bang and Olufsen Products (B&O) says this does not happen often as the very high frequency needed to control them.. you just need to go and and 'learn' the commands. easy to program, learn commands, etc.. easy to clone remotes once you do get one programmed! also .. customer assistance from universal remote is awesome.. i sent in one that stopped working and they replaced it without any drama.

It's just peaches!

This thing was easy to program and has eliminated 5 remotes. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to consolidate all their remotes. I've had two older Universal remote models and a couple other brands and this one is the best yet. The only negative I have is the buttons don't light up in the same way as the older versions which I liked better.

Great product!

The sole reason I bought this control is because of its price and RF feature. The reason I choose Universal Remote is because of their reputation. All and all, I'm very pleased with this remote and the RF feature. Pros: RF feature (I using MRF-350 base station) works flawless, IR signal strength is strong and customization is excellent. Cons: A bit bulky, Battery consumption is slightly high. Programming takes some getting use to, and it could be more aesthetically pleasing. This is worth every penny and it's beyond what I expected for this price.

Remote is very convenient and the price of purchase was very good considering that local retailers are asking considerably more. I do recommend a professional installer to program the remote, because it can be complicated and i noticed that the installer needed to go "on-line" to get the codes and programming that was needed. A weakness is that you need to go to "main" function each time you want to control the different components; a bit cumbersome. All in all, a good tool if you have many components in your home entertainment center so you don't have to have multiple remotes laying around.

One of the Best Remotes for Home Entertainment Centers

I love this remote. I use this one remote to control a Satellite Box, TiVo, Plasma TV, Tuner/Receiver, DVD player and VCR from anywhere in the house. The remote works both via a radio and IR. It was easy to program and it works flawlessly.
