Which Universal Remote to Use?

IMO the Harmony 670 is the best for everything without going to a crestron. My 600 series (I have 3 of various vintages) will run everything including my digital projection projector and reimyo cd transport levinson Bat preamp esoteric player and any and all tv's vcr's dvd Meridian complete theatre system etc. avoid the mx-3000 at all costs good luck!

Look at the Harmony One.

Harmony One

Interesting to note that the Harmony's run projector remotes too. I've got a Panasonic projector that could benefit as well.

I've had the Harmony 690,880,890, and 1000.

For me, the 890 is the best allowing RF to IR control and is all inclusive (you need to buy the RF extender to the 1000 for $99)

I would not recommend the Harmony one, it is cute with the touch screen but the screen is to small to be of any value, and it is only IR, unless you want to be tied to line of sight, avoid this, also you'd need to point it at your projector if you have one.

I don't like the MX line as they are much more difficult to program than the Harmony's, and I don't like their design. Harmony also has the largest database of control in the world. When I swap out even a pre/pro, I can reprogram my Harmony's in a few minutes... They are that easy.

AMX is nice, but every-time you change something, you will also be paying for someone else to change the remote, not only is it a PITA, it can get expensive.

I have not worked with the iControl, as for the Philips, the big ones (read expensive) are really nice, also somewhat tedious to program, but a solid remote.
