Product Description

Product Description

In a unique synthesis of hardware and software engineering, Universal Remote Control has revolutionized the standards of custom installers for color touch screen automation. The complete control MX-3000 offers some superficial similarities to previous touch screen offerings. However, in this review of the hardware and software specifications, it should be clear that the power of this new design offers custom installers and end users long needed relief in a number of key areas.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buying MX-3000 was a big expensive mistake, June 24, 2008

By	andie (raleigh) - See all my reviews

We splurged on a $20K home theatre bonanza, all of which is pretty awesome except the mx-3000 universal remote. There is a constantly fluctuating variation in the sensitivity and latency of the touch pad. I feel like the biggest sucker in the world sitting here on the sofa having to make 10 attempts at pressing channel "500." After 3 seconds it takes whatever you've been able to successfully press .. so, a few times is is only "5", then "50", then "500", then "800" (oops, you dropped your finger too close to the 8!). I promise you, it is the most frustrating, annoying thing you will ever pay $1000 for. We are very close to throwing it away and fishing out all the remotes our installers left somewhere in the theatre cabinet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Universal Remote Control MX-3000, November 9, 2007

By	Pat (PA) - See all my reviews

I've been through a lot of remotes in the past and currently have been using this item for over a year. In short not a problem to date. The best remote I've ever had. Best functions are the RF capability which allow you to do anything from virtually anywhere when using the MRF300. Only challenge would be the programing of this. If you don't know what you're doing you're going to need to have technician program it for you. The included software is mid line user friendly and you do have to have some knowledge of moving things around and programing. I had no problem but have a good technical background.

The software is not compatable with Vista but only XP. Seems they stopped supporting the software as well since the updates are no longer available. You can however go online and download all kinds of programs for it though. Some are even free but the cool ones do cost. If you are knowledgable enough you can even create your own. I chose the latter.

Again in short. Top Notch Remote. I wont move to another one. This one controls my 1000 sq ft theater including screen and many RF light controls. Just can't keep the kids out. That's what the biometric door lock is for. Thumb print entry. Gotta love it. Both of them!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Remote, January 26, 2009

Nice remote for an upper end home theater. Very versatile and will control just about anything. Pretty steep learing curve from a programming standpoint and can be discouraging for someone not used to that sort of thing. Good news is that many home theater stores will program it for about $100 - $200.
