The receiver is 40' across the house in a rack.
Don't ever loose your remote.
OK, I didn't read carefully. Steve is probably right.
The week I got all my first Axioms, my RF remote went south, had to order another and have it overnited so I could set up and play with the speakers. Last Xmas eve, I dropped a RF remote into a big glass of pepsi. HAd to have another Harmony RF remote overnited for sat delivery after xmas day. I'm down about $1k in rf remotes in the last 7 months. Something I didn't fully think out when I decided to build the rack. Knew I'd need an RF, but didn't think about when one isn't working. No TV, no Music, No Movies, No nothing!
