Weird, isn't it, totlvsns? I don't have much to add except a "Me,too!". I found your seven-year-old post while searching for solutions to my own continuously buzzing AVM 20 remote control. The device has been in storage for three years (batteries removed) but was resurrected yesterday for duty in a new, dedicated audio room and will mostly be used to serve up multi-channel music. So far, I have just been popping the batteries in and out as I use it but I may pick up a cheap, used Harmony. I have read it is possible to get a Harmony to work with the AVM but it may require some effort. I, too, prefer direct access buttons although there is a learning curve to the AVM 20 remote that I keep having to re-learn since I don't use it that much - so, maybe I'll not notice much difference using a Harmony. Then again, maybe I will just continue to pop batteries in and out.
Anthem AVM20 remote control buzzing
I've got an older AVM20 preamp (still sounds great) and the remote control just started making a constant annoying buzzing sound that won't shut off and is loud enough to hear during music. Is there a way to fix this or am I left searching for a replacement? Anthem says the factory one is $129 but would like to spend a lot less; only need basic functions. I like direct access buttons like the one that came with the preamp versus screen/menu types like Pronto. Thanks...
