How Do You Control Your System?

mantis · 05-05-2002, 10:21 PM

I was wondering what you guy's used for control.
I use a Phillips Pronto tsu1000.I bought it about 2 1/2 years ago.It's got to be the best remote under a grand on the market.

I just use the remote that came with my receiver

It controls every thing but my amp's. I don't have the dimming lights and all that fancy stuff though

I'm stuck with about 4 or 5 because I can't find a cheap programmable that'll do RF.

I bought the Home Theater Master MX-500 last November, the one with the rubber-feel keys, not the gemstone key version. It took the place of 5 remotes, TV, DVD, VCR, SAT Box, and Reciever. It took some time to teach it all the functions of the 5 remotes but I now have it tweeked to do everything I want it to. The thing is awesome. I prefered the tactile feel of the hard keys as opposed to always looking at a screen to see what I was doing. I got it from RRDeals.com, now BlueDo.com , for $125 plus s/h of I think $7.

I use a 3 iron with a suction cup type affair attached to the end of it.

I use a 2 wood. Near perfect reach from my chair, to my Nad pre in the mancave.

Cost? $3 at the pawn-o-matic

Cheers,
Russ

I use a Sony comander, (with the touchscreen LCD) and I love it.

They just came out with a new model too, time for an upgrade.

The cool LCD remote that came with my Pioneer Elite 39TX receive does all the magic...and it looks so handsome too...

With an iron fist!

TroyD · 05-06-2002, 04:43 PM

Don't you use some type of lubrication??

Very subtle 'ass pounding' references from Troy again....

I dunno....just something about a dude with girlie mags from the early 90's and a case of Kleenex in his mancave......

Just go an theater master MX-500. I got the newest GS2 gemstone version for $118 form surfremotecontrol.com. Thumbpad works perfect, but i havn't been able to use the remote much yet. Still using my old marantz RC1200 learning remote, which in itself is very good.

What would a mancave be without the necessities?

I think it's time for a new remote.
