Universal Remotes for hifi components?


Hi all,

I just got an Electrocompaniet ECI-3 integrated amp and an Audio Refinement CD Complete Alpha. Since I have to buy a remote for the AR anyway, I'm wondering if there's something I can buy that would be able to control the CD player and the amp from one device. The answer is probably no, but boy would it be nice...

you could always get a learning remote? You shot the IR commands at the learning remote, assign the code to a button, and presto - a learning remote. Home theater maseter, harmony, marantz, philips pronto, etc make some.

Theo - check out the home theather master MX-500. It's very similar to the marantz rc2000. i had the rc2000 mki once. roommatehad a mx500. it was pretty good. i preferred the black lighting, battery life, and IR signal strength of teh mx-500 over the rc2000. the marantz was pretty poor in all three regards.

lousyreeds1 - how about the weemote, link. or are you looking for something with a number pad? The Harmony SST-768 might fit the bill, but it's sort of pricey (to me).

ROTFLMAO at the thought of an audiophile using a weemote on a high-end stereo. I think I understand your concern!
