Title: What remote do you use to control MC 13 & other components? URC R-50...?
Post by: steveklein on June 01, 2009, 11:33:27 am

I'm curious as to what remote controls you folks are using to control MC 13. Right now I've got a Phillips Pronto 7000 but I find it too clunky for the rest of my setup. So I want to go to something smaller and cheaper. I've used Harmonys in the past and havent really cared for them. So what Universal Remote do you use? Keep in mind I want this remote to seamlessly work with MC, but also with my Onkyo Receiver, Samsung TV, Cable Box, and even my Xbox 360 if possible.

Suggestions?

I read and looked at this remote http://common.e-gear.com/img/photos/biz/eg/2009/02/urc-r50.jpg

Anyone used the URC R-50 remote with MC 13?

Can that (relatively) simple remote be programmed to work with MC 13 like it can with my receiver, TV, etc. ? I'd love something relatively low profile like that if it can truly be my universal remote, for both JRMC13 and other components.

Gyration Music, had the other version w/o LCD...this one has better build quality.

Intelliremote supports it to with a custom xml file.
