![]() A lot of equipment doesn't - they just have IR sensors on the front panels. The reason that you would need an RF receiver is if your components (A/V receiver, DVD player, etc.) don't have the ability to receiver RF commands. The remotes that you are looking at (I'm assuming) broadcast commands over RF - and probably IR, as well. do I need the Harmony RF Extender? I just need this to access the components in the cabinet and not have to remain pointed at the equipment once you select the macro.Ĭhris, I haven't looked up the specifics on those units, but here's some info. Can you guys just tell me what I need? I don't understand what the RF boxes do with IR extenders and all that. I don't need the remote to work from accross the street. I guess I just don't understand how RF works and how it actually controls my system. The more I read though, it seems that I need some other box, an RF controller like the MSC 400 to really make it work. I thought I was either going with the Harmony 1000 or the URC MX900. The reasons for this I think are because 1) It's able to run the components even if they're in the cabinet and 2) because you don't have to keep the thing pointed when running a macro (this part is key) I'm under the impression I want an RF remote. plus I want a universal remote so that I have just one that I can program with macros to make it easy for the wife and daughter to work the system. ![]() ![]() ![]() My issue: My equipment is in a BDI cabinet that really makes it difficult for the remotes to work. Okay, apparently I still don't get it and I need someone to fill in the blanks and connect the pieces that I do understand. ![]()
