Careful of the Harmony RF compatible remotes. I own the 890 Pro, which has RF capability.

I fought with that remote for 2 years until I gave up and moved my equipment into a hole I cut in the wall. (Previously, all my equipment was stashed in an adjacent laundry room).

Unfortunately, with cordless phones and ESPECIALLY baby monitors sending RF video through the house, my remote had trouble connecting. So, either it would send no signal, or it would send repeating signals and my channels would change 3 at a time. Very frustrating.

NOTE: this is not a problem unique to the Harmony RF remotes - it will apply to all RF devices that compete for bandwidth in the home. If you've got a lot of RF devices, consider instead an IR repeater system using a remote "eye" and an extender cable system. Hotlink makes a model that I use upstairs that has never failed me.

I'm using my 890 to control 5 rooms and without issues at all. The macro limitations in the Harmony is annoying, but a lot depends on your needs for them.

Yeppers, frustrating is right. My Harmony 1000 has turned the volume all the way up on my Denon 3808 (+30 or 40) a handful of times, and yes, it's VERY loud and NOT FUN. Worst of all, it renders the remote inoperable for at least a minute because it's repeatedly sending the signal that long.

I adjusted the 3808's maximum volume limit to +10, so I don't s@#t a brick if it happens again.

Yeah - it got to the point of unbearable, where I had simply no confidence that the components would respond like I wanted them to.

It's a cool technology that works as promised, so long as there isn't too much other interference. Sadly, I found myself in an environment with no shortage of other RF devices providing interference.

After making the switch, it's such a pleasure to actually have the system work like it's supposed to work.

I like red hats.

It was sort of a joke, but ok.

Now, how do I edit your post?
