How is this remote when using the media functions (i.e. volume up and down, track next, etc). Is it annoying to have to press the M key every time you want to use media functions?

It does stay in Media mode until you turn it off. (Or it turns itself off.) We have a computer hooked to the TV for streaming. It can be a little confusing if you need to use the trackpad to choose your movie/show and then switch over to use the volume buttons. Overall not too bad though I tend to use our Logitech K400 and my gf uses the CE. My big clumsy fingers don't do too well with it so I use the bigger keyboard.

I think it works great. The M button does toggle. You don't need to hold it in.

I use it with Ubuntu 12.04, the media function works out of the box, it works great. The M key is NOT momentary, you have to switch it on and off every time you want to use the media function.It does not have the F1, F2, F3,... keys.

It's great! I got this about 2 years ago still works like new. I use this one on my desktop in my living room hooked to my 55" tv. Great product, thinking about buying another one for my truck!

That is a good question - But I don't know the answer either. When I want to change the TV input, that is what I change is the input and not the channel. Don't know that you can change the channel from the input mode. My understanding is that this remote is not designed to control multiple devices - it's not a universal remote.

I'm having the exact same problem. One thing I have noticed - if the HDMI cable is not connected the "muting on" problem does not happen. For instance, I can listen to the TV audio through my Sony using an optic cable (as long as the HDMI cable is disconnected). But, within 10 seconds of hooking up an HDMI cable (even if I'm not using it) the "muting on" comes on. I can turn it off by hitting the "mute" button on the remote - but it will keep randomly muting itself every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Aaarrrrggghhh! EDIT: I was able to solve my problem by disabling the "automatic muting" feature. (Who wants THAT?). Here are the instructions from Sony on how to disable the "feature": http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&externalId=C1003157&fes=true

No clue as to specific to a Motorola remote. Mine is connected to my TV, when I use my TV remote to increase the volume, the volume to the sound system automatically increases. When I listed to music on that device I also run it through my TV. Sorry, I have never attempted to change the volume through a remote without using the TV, as such cannot be of more help.

There is no diagram nor an instruction manual (directly? they say the extra functions though here), but I can say you the extra functions but not photos because I can't give links here or downloads. FN key - Combination key, like the alt, which makes functions when combined with other key. That is what it is meant, but I can't find any combination key, they work without the FN as in the FN, making the FN not a combination. But if it's there, there should be a combination or something, right? Maybe if a program uses it or something. Media functions buttons - Media functions buttons of previous track, stop, play and next track. Names are what it does. Does not work on safe mode though. My Computer button - A My Computer button, you press it and it opens a Explorer tab with My Computer open, name says it all. Does not work on safe mode though. Media button - A Media button, you press it and it takes you to the media, which would be Windows Media Player. Does not work on safe mode though. Control Volume buttons - Control Volume buttons, they are three buttons, which are Mute, Volume Down, and Volume Up. They do what the button name is. Does not work on safe mode though. Calculator button - A Calculator button, you press it and it opens the Calculator (windows default calculator), name is what it does. Little square green LED indicator in Caps Lock - It's an indicator LED which when you have Caps Lock on, the LED is on, and vice versa, just like the Num Lock, but it's nice to see it on Caps Lock too, and it's just on the button, which you don't have to look elsewere to see if it's on, same with Num Lock.

The way it works isn't necessarily matching the exact beat of the music. What I believe it does, is based on how much sound it takes in during certain intervals, it decides how slow or fast to flash. So you could have a loud song with bass and it can just be constantly flashing really quick. What I recommend is playing music at a decent volume, and manually adjust the speed of the remote so it "matches" the song as best as possible. It will never match 100% correctly because it will always flash at certain speeds. I usually just keep mine at the brighest setting and never use the flash because it doesnt match very well... Still looks great!

Thanks for the question. When operating in remote, there is a limit to the 1.5m this product. In addition, other buttons and one button can be combined. If these do not work, I can be considered initial defect. You have to's instructions, but it needs to be reported to the seller that it did not move. You can ask for exchange or refund to the seller. Or, I recommend that you consult the Amazon. I think that it can be resolved in these. Thanks in advance.

When it's on Standby it blinks OFF. Otherwise you'll have to do a hard shutoff with the switch in the back. On an odd note on that very thing. I'd program my Logitech Harmony 300 learning remote and by pure accident, I've noticed that if the remote is on AUX and I'm trying to lower the volume but the remote is set for Bluray (because I've forgotten to switch the device over) it dims the LED. There's no dim function on the surround system. But the dimming lowered the blinking OFF to like you couldn't see it at all. Not just that, but the rest of the display as well. But you can brighten it too. But that was pure dumb luck on a completely different device. When it's on Standby it blinks OFF. Otherwise you'll have to do a hard shutoff with the switch in the back.

The sleep functions only when u activate it, no it isn't a one time set up. Unfortunately every time u use the sleep function u have to remember to set it, then again the functions isn't always used and it would a pain in the ass. Think about it every time u listened to music it would go turn itself all the time once it reached the time set for right? Hope I was able to answer ur question.

I had the same issue. Seems like if you hit that button in the first 10 seconds of a song, it will skip forward to the next song and if it is after that, it will adjust volume. Not sure if that is completely correct, but I have inadvertently forwarded to the next song as well.

I like this remote, it's very functional the only thing is that when using the keypad on the back, it's easy to press a button on the front which can be annoying sometimes especially because of the mouse. I've never used the Q remote.

I am not a high tech person. Not sure what you mean by that function. But if it remembering where you are if you stop watching the dvd to return later, then I don't think so. But I just hit the "pause/step" button, turn off the tv. I leave the dvd player on, though. When I want to watch the rest of the dvd I just turn on the tv (channel 3, and then go to the dvd setting, if I moved it out of that to watch the regular tv) and hit play. It starts up. I even think if I turn off the dvd player, it still starts where I stopped it (not completely sure). Linda

I just tried my remote to see if it functions as you have described and it does not. I can push the volume control and it raises and lowers as I keep my finger on the button. I do not need to press it each time for it to increase or decrease. I am wondering if your battery in getting low?

The LCD Display lights up White, Cyan, Magenta, Blue, Yellow, Green and Red. Out of the box the setting is turned off, you simply have to turn it on by holding down the "F" Button until it goes into settings then by clicking the "F" button again go to Remote Setup, using the "aux" & "Remote start" buttons scroll up or down to "Screen Color" and then hit "F" button to select it. Then again using the "aux" & "remote start" buttons, scroll through the colors. To select your desired color hit the "F" button again. Then to get out of the whole settings menu, click the lock button and you should be at the home screen. If you're talking about the smaller remote, it does not light up blue, it lights up orange with each keypress. P. S. I've had this installed for about a month now and I absolutely love it. One thing I figured out it is when you have the temp shown as the remote start info, it does not update automatically. You have the hit "F" once so it says level 1, and then hold it down again for 3 Seconds to show the updated temperature. Also if you go to Level 4 and then hit the "Remote Start" button, it will turn on your defogger. Lastly, the buttons are hard to press being brand new but after a while of using the remote, they become a lot more easier and responsive to lighter touches. Enjoy =)

Dear Sandeep, So sorry to hear that you are having an issue with the remote control. One thing that I'd like you to double check--there are four buttons near the top of the remote, labeled (Stereo, Cable/Sat,TV and CD). If any button other than the Stereo button has been pushed, many of the functions on the remote will not operate. See if pushing the Stereo button alleviates the issues you are having. If that does not solve the issue, let me know and we can look into warranty options for you. Did you purchase the unit from us? Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

I'm not sure as I don't use those "non function" keys. Keep in mind, to use the traditional function key you have to hold the activate function key at the bottom left corner. If you don't, you can be in the middle of a game, for example, and suddenly activate a media player. It's mapped in reverse to the traditional keyboard. I'll try to test it tonight.
