Any sequence you catch yourself doing can be made into a macro. Switch to WII game (TV Input) and mute AVR because the sound is through the TV, etc. Examples, turn off all equipment with the Off button, switch the TV Input, the AVR input with one button. You can program any key with macros which come in handy. The remote handles switching the AVR and the TV Inputs. Easily switch DVR1, DVR2, WII Game, DVD or HD Camcorder. My wife and mother-in-law could not operate our setup without this remote. I sent it in to be fixed because the light switch broke off (remotes at my house go through the ringer) and they replaced it with the newer model! Customer service is great with this company. Not only does this thing simplify having 6 remote controls, it can take beating! Mine has been thrown, on more than one occasion, with the batteries flying across the floor, it's even had water poured on it and it still works! (after drying over night) It has been used so much that the numbers are wearing off! I bought this one to have a back up and I will send my old one back to be refurbished.īefore the MX-850, I had the predecessor which also lasted a very long time. This remote would be worth the retail price, much less the price you can get it for now on eBay. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned But if you want to unleash some great power this is the remote to get as long as you can obtain the software and cable. Overall a great remote, but again it is not for the squeamish or those who don’t like tinkering with things. Of course, the software saves all your profiles to your computer so it is easy to do minor adjustments or add-ons and then re-upload them to the remote. Another feature is to be able to learn head to head from a more obscure remote in which the codes may not be in the older databases, e.g. Of course as with any high-end remote, The strength comes in being able to program macros into the remote. Once programmed you will notice these remotes have a much better range than most standard remotes, especially if they have relatively fresh batteries in them. The remote has your standard keys down on most universal remotes and it a lso has an LCD of more obscure commands that you can grab from the database or you can program yourself. The software is pretty intuitive if you’ve ever programmed anything before, and even without instruction I got in there and was able to program three of these remotes for three different rooms and devices without any issue. You are still on your own As far as the serial cable is concerned, but can obtain one online. The software is mostly obtainable from URC directly if you request it through email and give them the serial number and model of your remote. These remotes were meant to be programmed by distributors and trained professionals. You must have software to program it as well as a serial cable. ![]() What you must understand about this stellar device is that you cannot just purchase one and use it out of the box. Not for everyone, but behold great features
