Own YSP2200, have a Comcast dvr, a blu-ray player - what is a good universal remote control to use with this system?

Personally, I like to use a programmable remote - one where the functions of a component's remote can be 'learned' by the universal remote. No fooling around with 'remote codes'. You do the setup and programing right on the new remote. I have a couple of Osiris MX-350 IR/RF remotes. You can find one on Amazon here: Universal Remote Control MX-350 Osiris IR/RF Remote Control ( 8056 ) The only drawback is that it doesn't do Bluetooth, like for a PS3.

We use the remote that came with it and the comcast remote for tv, etc. We haven't found a universal remote for all.

I have a Logitech Harmony 650 that I use with my blu-ray player, Cox HD cable box and the Yamaha and it works great with all of them.

I am using the standard issue macrovision receiver, but a DVR receiver should work also. I was very impressed with how this unit worked. Was very easy to setup and performed as advertised.

Unfortunately, you can't.... I even called DirecTV to find out if I could program their remote to handle this sound bar and they told me "No". Thus, I ended up buying a Universal WR7 remote which I programmed to handle my DirecTV DVR, HDTV, Blu-Ray player, and the sound bar as well. The WR7 is currently working great for me in this capacity. Hope this helps!!!

The Harmony one works great with my Comcast HD/DVR box.Yes, it does control the,DVR and on Demand or any other funtion of the Cable Box buttons. Just make sure you put in the make and modle # of your device. You can also program custom buttons, add channel icons and other things to it. As other posters have noted it takes a little time but once you do it, it is easy. I 've had other universal remotes in the past, none have worked as well as the Harmony brand ( 659,670) especially the Harmony One. It's great!

steve'n'karen, I was going to remove the Minka remote because it has basic functions. My Hampton Bay remote is like the Universal and they have a lot more options. I guess 20 bucks is worth the try. Thanks for your reply.

Hi Matthew, To avoid compatibility/functionality issues, we recommend using the remote control model: RMTD302. -Anthony

I just picked up the Sony RMVZ320 Remote Control @ Best Buy yesterday for $16.99 and it works perfectly. It also handles my Comcast DVR functions, so I only have to use this remote. BTW, I'm using it with the L32HDF11TA.

I have different components, but I have 2 Harmony remotes with a mix of Sony, Samsung, Apple TV, and an x-box 360. All are controlled as I wish them to be. Set-up is a grind, but cannot be rushed.

Consumer Electronics Control (CEC), your HDTV's remote can manage up to ten devices that are connected via HDMI (such as Blu-ray Disc players or home theater receivers), no special programming needed. So, for example, you can use your remote to turn on your TV, your player, and your receiver at the same time, and adjust the system volume with one button.

As long as the machine you want to control has a working remote, you can easily 'teach' the universal remote the same commands. You just put the remotes facing each other and follow the instructions in the manual. Even if you don't have remotes for those machines, the different brand program codes that come in the manual should enable you to load the universal remote. The universal remote can operate several different machines, so it should easily run your three. If you find all the functions on the FIOS/DVR don't run after loading, you can still use the other Aux button to load the commands for your DVR as though it were a separate component.

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I should spend $50 on one of the "majic" remotes. Not sure which one to get. They all appear to be limited in functions.

I've never kept the Comcast remote, I always prefer using my own and the one I love that I have at each TV is the One For All URC-8820. It's a learning remote, so all I did was just input each key using the learning feature and the remote works perfect. You'll have to input everything, even the volume up and down, but it's worth the few minutes to set it up, then put the TV remote away for safe-keeping. It's an inexpensive remote, I only paid $10-15 for each one when I bought all 3 at once, have had them for 5+ years now and the only issue is the one used most often has 2 keys starting to show some wear on the lettering on the 2 buttons. Otherwise they continue to work flawlessly. I have the remote programmed for the TV, cable box, DVD Recorder, DVD Player, and a VCR.

Should be able to buy a universal remotr, or if you have cable, the cable remote should work.

When I was subscribed to DISH, I did map my dvr remote to the harmony remote. You can actually have it learn the functions of a remote and map the functions to any button of your choosing. Hope this helps...

I use Ethernet over power for my DVR and it's fine. It's the only way I had to get internet in the room with wire, so I have a switch controlling the Sonos, blu ray, and the DVR.

Use the learning mode programming feature of the URC A6, and you can program it for anything. I have had success with controlling Roku players using the original remote to learn the functions.
