I got the Marantz RC2000 Mk. II when it first came out around six years ago and it is still worth every cent. I don't know if Marantz still makes this model but I'd buy it again in a heartbeat if ever needed. I set up macros for DVD, HD, sat., etc. With two sets of ni-cad batteries one set is always fully charged and ready to go so who cares about battery life? You can't download codes from the internet like some new remotes but once everything is programmed. . . . .
