Friendly, reliable, powerful, cheap : Universal Remote Control URC-WR7 7 Device Remote Control with 4 Favorite Channel Buttons
This remote is a screaming deal for the price. Stop looking at the Harmony remotes and buy this one.
My Harmony 659 suddenly stopped working after two years (I think the memory got corrupted), and I needed a replacement. Initially I was looking at the Harmony 880 and Harmony One, but couldn't get over the exorbitant prices and quality control issues. According to a couple of home theater forums online, the pro home theater installers usually go with URC or RTI remotes instead of Harmony, so I got curious. I stumbled upon this remote on Amazon. I was a bit nervous about replacing my Harmony with a screenless remote. My fears were unfounded. I was also looking at the URC R50 remote which has a huge screen, but I didn't like the button layout as much and this remote does everything I need it to at a fourth of the price.
This remote is incredibly easy to set up and customize. I hated using the Logitech Harmony software to update my old remote and customizing buttons was a pain. I had this remote set up in a half hour to control all of my components exactly like I want them, and it feels very responsive.
My main setup includes a Samsung PN50A550 plasma TV, Onkyo SR607 receiver, Comcast RNG110 cable box, and Sony PS3 with Nyko Blu-Wave remote/USB IR dongle. The code for the PS3 in the manual didn't work, but using the learning function on the remote, I was able to program in all the Nyko's commands in about 30 seconds, and it now controls my PS3 perfectly (except the Power On function, which requires a separate AC adapter costing at least $60 -- for that price, I can just get up and touch the Power button on the console).
Pros:
* Macro function is awesome and works just like the Activity buttons on the Harmony remotes, except you can tweak the order it turns things on and program in delays for commands. You can program the device buttons (TV, DVD, etc.) to control the device if you just hit the key once, or execute a macro if you hold the key for two seconds (e.g. holding DVD turns on my TV, amp, and sets my amp input to my PS3).
* Separate Power On and Power Off buttons are very nice. You can power on/off each device or power on/off your whole system with a macro.
* Punch through options for volume, channel, Rew/FF/Play, etc. For example, this means that regardless of which activity you're using, you can set it up so that the volume control always is done through the amplifier.
* Good layout of buttons, although I agree with a previous reviewer that the Volume and Channel buttons should be a bit lower down on the remote closer to where your thumb rests.
* Feels solid in the hand, and costs twenty bucks.
Cons: can't really think of any! I don't miss having an LCD screen at all. Agree with previous reviewer 'JLR' that the screen is usually "a crutch that replaces good design. Demands that you look down at the remote, takes space away from keys, and is typically butt-ugly."
I look forward to many years with this remote.
