JJkizak Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Anybody make a nice wood lazy susan for 10 remotes? JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I have a nice one I got at Wal-Mart at Christmas time. It is cherry wood and will hold 6-8 remotes depending on thickness. It is really nice looking.! They only cost like $8 but the only problem is you can only get them around Christmas. They are sold in the section they always have with pre-wrapped cheap gifts.

Speedball Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hardwood, softwood, exotic, or native lumber Lazy Susans are dead easy to make. I could sure make one as nice as anyone would want. The bearing/rings are available at many different local lumber-home stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Are we really talking a rotating table Lazy Susan or just a nice rack that will hold several remotes and keep the damn things from sliding between the seats in the HT chairs?

Speedball Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 .......ha! He beat you to it JB. I suppose a remote would fit there but she might not approve of that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 That sure is a nice looking jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 I really like the design picture of that remote. I don't know if it would pass the censors. It does bring to mind what does the Lazy Susan rotate on? JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Although I hate to have to go back to the main topic, can anyone here reccommend a good universal remote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBK Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I recommend getting a universal remote. I finally bit the bullet and bought one after a few failed attempts in the past (Phillips Pronto NEO never got all the functions for all devices) I found the Harmony 676 at Sam's Club for $99.00 - and it does a great job! The Harnony's use the internet to do all the programming - have a very large database of electronics - including my Outlaw gear - and with 45 minutes of opening the package - I had all my gear programmed. It is activitiy based - one button to listen to music or watch TV or watch a Movie! - even has an built in help function in case it misses something in the programming. Best $99.00 bucks I've spent!. Even the wife and kids love it. NO MORE 5 remotes to turn things on. There are safely put away in a drawer..... Check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I've read god things about the Harmony elsewhere.......Mmmmmm, maybe I should check into one, it could take place of the three we use to watch movies. Would really be nice if it is backlit.........then the wife could do some of the switching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a "glow" button to light it up first. My wife and 11 year olds took to it minutes - very family friendly, yet powerful enough for the techie to tweak too if desired.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Mark, That looks like a nice remote. It looks like it can make life much easier. Can it be programmed for special buttons that are not commonly found? I also use a CD player and a transport for a separate DAC. Can you switch between CD players? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I use a Phillips Pronto NG in our theater and I am quite pleased with it. However, One for All seems to have one the easiest and most afforable array of remotes I've ever seen. We have one in our living room and my wife loves it. She hates remotes, but likes the one we got her. Our son has a more complex All for One and loves his. Check them out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Chris I haven't had much time to explore it yet, but it can control up to 15 devices, including lights. Everything is activity based - so you want to watch TV - it turns on the cable box, sets the Mits TV (in my case) to the proper input - turns on the HT Receiver and selects the proper input. It also knows what controls the volume, what controls channel changing etc. I do know that you can program buttons, etc, just have not yet explored how deep the customizing can be taken. You might try going to Harmony and doing what they call a test drive. It take you through a set up of the remote for your gear - you'll quickly see the basics of what it can do, etc. Be sure to create a temp log-in that would NOT be your true log-in should you decide to purchase one. It will make it easier later if you purchase - to run the "real" configuration. You might also go to the forums on RemoteCentral.com and check out the Harmony section - lots o' tips.

wally flick Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I've got a modest system, and the Harmony does everything I have needed over the past year in a way that my wife can watch/listen on her own. Highly, highly recommended. The web based interface makes it very easy to set up the "activities" and beef them up once you get more comfortable with the remote.
