Almost a great remote

I have the next unit above this one known as the urc300, which is actually lower priced on amazon. I assume the basic functionality will apply to the urc200. The units build quality, button feel, and backlighting are superb. Where it comes up short...

Superb control!

 

Superb control!

Very well-designed control. Both IR and RF functions are flawless. Easy to set up, easy to "learn" any command from any other remote (for example, it didn't come with a code for my Sanyo PLV-80 projector, but I was able to get it to learn ALL the Sanyo...

Product Specifications

The Automator (URC-200) universal and learning remote control can replace up to 10 remote controls and operate an entire A/V home entertainment system. The LCD screen device and function labels can be customized. Comfortable navigation via a combination of wear-resistant buttons and 5-way thumbpad for operation of menu-driven devices. The URC-200 has over 1,000 built-in codes for easy programming of products from all major brands. Because the URC-200 sends both IR and RF signals, consumers can take advantage of "whole-house" (through walls, cabinets and floors) operation by utilizing the optional MRF-100 RF receiver base station.
