JasonJCarney Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Anyone know if this remote works with the Epson projectors? Emotive amps? Ps3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Epson yes Emo pre-amps yes; amps have no remote except 12 vdc triggers PS-3 NO; PS3 uses bluetooth, you can get adapter from Logitech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 ahh yes of course the amp really has no function other than on and off. Didnt even think about that. Do you have the logitech? Wondering how people like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have the 880 and love it. I just went into my account and checked for you stuff to see if they were listed. I like the hand held better than table tops; just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechnut Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have the 900 and love it! I went with it over the One because it has the red green blue yellow buttons. I use those all the time when interfacing with my DVR. Also, the 900 has RF and the One does not. And I agree, love the traditional style handheld vs the tablet.

JasonJCarney Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 So besides the ps3 adapter is there anything else I would need to buy with the 1100? I am trying to get an idea of how much it is all going to cost before I take the plunge. This is what I have to control: Comcast box, Onkyo, Emotiva amp, Epson 8500ub projector. It would be nice if I could use just 1 remote instead of 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I suggest that you go to Harmony site and create an account; you can test drive the remote to see if you can use it with your stuff. One thing I do not know is that since it is an RF remote do you have to buy the RF to IR converter. I can not tell by the site specs if this remote does both RF and IR.

cornfedksboy Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I have the Logitech Harmony 700 and I also think it's great except that when I press "Watch a Movie," I have to be standing off to one side of the room. This is because the PJ is behind the seats and the electronics tower is to the left. Same with the "All Off" button. It's just a matter of getting the remote to hit all of the devices. Based on where your devices are located (I think yours are all behind the listener though) you could experience similar issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechnut Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The 900 comes with one receiver/blaster combo and two additional IR blasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 If you end up needing some IR receivers and blasters let me know I have several Niles units left over somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunt Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 While not nearly as fancy with the touch screen, etc., your Onkyo's remote is a learning/programmable remote that can be setup to control all of your devices, according to Onkyo's website. If you don't need RF capability and it works, it would save a hefty chunk of coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorm Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I used the 1100 for a while, and while it had its good points...I just didn't dig the touchscreen. It was easy to program and use with my equipment. (Minus the PS3), but it did work with the Oppo. (Only needed the PS3 for games) Mine has the RF system too. I'm trying to sell the whole system if you are interested... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonJCarney Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Brunt brings up a good point. I will try my onkyo remote and see how it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorm Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Some of the ones without the RF ending on ebay today between 250-275. I would go 280 shipped. Paypal and shipping fees included. (As long as you don't live in AK or HI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorm Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Scratch that...it looks like you can get these for 235 new, but without the RF system. I would go 210 shipped. Paypal and shipping fees included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjennings2510 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hey Jason you can also get a Sony RM-AV3100 off of ebay for pretty cheap. I have one and I love it....have had it for years and its still going strong. It is a bigger remote....but its touch screen and can control up to 18 devices....now since it is an older remote the codes didn't work so I had to program everything in....luckily it is a learning remote...so i programmed everything in using my original remotes....and put my originals away. You can do macros as well but its similar to the logitech remote in that you have to have it aimed towards your equipment or it will miss something....but this thing is powerful! The IR beam shoots a pretty good distance. So I love mines....and its a cheap way to get a learning remote that has a ton of features.....I also have a Logitech 890 up front (The Sony is in the mancave controlling everything from LED lighting to my XM radio) and since its all setup on the computer it is a little more polished not to mention the built in help feature which helps you out if something doesn't turn on.....but that was the only thing I hated....I had to use my computer....any complicated universal learning remote is going to involve trial and error but at least with the Sony I could change stuff right then....with the Logitech I had to keep my laptop nearby...but thats just me nitpicking....once it was setup it was great! So if the Onkyo remote you have doesn't do the trick then check out the Sony.....or if you want newer then check out the Logitechs.....I was also looking at the 1100 to replace my 890 just bc I'm used to the bulky touch screen remote....will probably give the 890 to my parents.....
