Poll: Stock AVR Remote useage.

[kexodusc]

Hmm....it does seem that most everyone who is satisfied with their basic remote has never actually had a nice universal. Perhaps they just don't know what they're missing?

Nah, it's not even that. I have a nice harmony, but it doesn't run my a/v receiver as well as the original remote does because it's layout was a bit better than my programing skills.
I think remotes have just gotten better outside the entry level receivers. Mine runs everything I have quite well and has learned everything I need it to do.

I look at those as luxury items, not essential in a system as long as anything sound related can be improved for the money. I was happy to get one as an unexpected gift though. Using 1 remote instead of 4 or 5 is nice I suppose.

I really like my Yamaha controllers that came with my 5760 and 657 receivers- they do everything I need them to. Fyi, I do not have a DVR.

I have one question though- my TV downstairs is a no namer- I got a great deal on a 32 inch Sansui a few years back and there are no codes for the TV in Yamaha's manual. Do you know if Sansui uses a different code- maybe by a parent company or something? Just wondering.

Thanks.
