Still not bad, but anyone with enough Denon components to make the thing useful out of the both probably already picked up an 890, 1000 or one of the big Universal brand universals.

Multi-zone might be cool though, Harmony's don't deal well with multi-zone... (At least they don't with anything but Yamaha)]]>Jun 30th 2007 1:31PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/30/denons-lcd-packin-rc-7000ci-remote-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/30/denons-lcd-packin-rc-7000ci-remote-hits-the-fcc/Jun 30th 2007 2:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/30/denons-lcd-packin-rc-7000ci-remote-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/30/denons-lcd-packin-rc-7000ci-remote-hits-the-fcc/http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/index.php]]>Jun 30th 2007 2:53PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/30/denons-lcd-packin-rc-7000ci-remote-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/30/denons-lcd-packin-rc-7000ci-remote-hits-the-fcc/]]>Jun 30th 2007 4:42PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/30/denons-lcd-packin-rc-7000ci-remote-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/30/denons-lcd-packin-rc-7000ci-remote-hits-the-fcc/
Certainly it can. You just have to do a bit of work. There is a series of remotes, sold by One-for-all for prices ranging from $20 to $50, that have connectors in the battery compartment called "JP1" connectors. There is a bit of a hacker community for these remotes, to the point where they have been entirely reprogrammed by some. BUt you can add ANY device to them, program ANY key to be a macro of nearly any length, etc. I've used the same remote for my 8-device system for over a decade now, even though everything in it has changed and none of it existed when I got the remote.

And yes, one button turns on, say, the tv, av receiver, dvd player and sets up all the pipes. Another button the HD Tivo, TV, amp, etc, another button the HD-A2 and so on. And a single button turns off whatever was on.

My wife thinks it's simple. And it is if you ignore the 4 hours it takes me when I get a new piece of equipment to set the remote up again.

I've had one remote for over a decade and paid less than $30 for it.]]>Jun 30th 2007 9:30PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/30/denons-lcd-packin-rc-7000ci-remote-hits-the-fcc/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/30/denons-lcd-packin-rc-7000ci-remote-hits-the-fcc/Jul 13th 2007 4:31PM
