Does the signal on the URC-WR7 go through glass cabinet doors? I'm looking to replace my Harmony 880. Thanks!

It does for us. Our cable box and dvd player are in a cabinet behind glass doors and this remote works fine with both of them.

The literature says that it sends rf signals, but I couldn't make it work right where I needed rf. I ended up using it in a different room where I didn't need rf signals.

I run a signal from my dish receiver to a tv in another room and it works just fine. Crystal clear and the remote works too i just have to take the dish remote into the room with me

I have a house constructed with concrete blocks. I couldn't get a signal in downstairs rooms. I am using a Lynksys PLWK 400 - Extender and it works for me. The signal is transferred through a signal that goes through the wiring and is picked up by a device that plugs into the house circuit.

Mine was the same way. I found a different solution by using a wireless chime. It was a lot of work. I rigged the button to connect to the wired chime. It only worked for one door. Not 2 doors like the extend a chime. But at least it could be heard. Sometimes this stuff doesn't work. What are you going to do?

One issue was resolved with a quick call to Peerless tech. I connected transmitter to DirecTV then out to Yamaha receiver. Picture/sound flickered on/off. I had to connect transmitter after AV receiver, not before. Works great, and now any device connected to my receiver (BluRay, CD, VCR) is transmitted to remote TV. Putting transmitter inside cabinet reduced signal, but placing it as close to receiver as possible, receiving signal is 4 bars (highest) even through 2 walls and on another floor.

The remote is Infra Red so it will not work through a door and, yes, you do need a clear path to the receiver.

I tried the same thing... Audio cut in and out. However, it even had issues when I left the front and back doors open, and it could have been the audio connection ports. Not sure if it was the box, or a defective unit, but I couldn't get a good quality sound. I ended up sending it back and getting the 733 instead. I already had one 733, and it worked great. (Plus the antennas are on the front, and get great signal when the front door is open, which it is when in operation. The company had no problem with the return, and the 733s work great.

Perhaps I don't understand your question.. to get from the radio to the windshield, your use coax from back of radio to inside stick on passive drvice.. the signal is then passed through the 1/4 inch of glass to the outside passive device and out the antenna. Do not shorten the coax, and do not roll it up.. that can cause problems.. so I guess the short anser is NO .. it will ruin the radio.. Dan kb7uxe. find me on the internet by that id. kb7uxe.. I will gladly clarify any other questions you may have. either yahoo or gmail to my id kb7uxe. :)

The remote uses a radio frequency to control the unit. It works quite well through walls and doors.

The remotes have several addresses they use. Set the address of one unit to a different address. I have seen four units in a room with no interference. Check your dish manual for how to set the addresses. Both IR and UHF receivers have these address settings.

According to the manual it does have pass-through, and I have seen the setting in the setup. I haven't tried it myself since I always use the receiver's speaker. I can say it's not enabled by default because I did try that. You can also select if you want it to cascade the off signal to other devices (for example, shut of the Blu-ray player when I shut off the receiver in that mode) It also requires the other device to be compatible with this.

works fine with 3 of mine--shut off your tv speakersonly problem is , if you have comcast, the remote signals overlap.if you are going through the channels, the volume changes.. very annoying and a pain in the ass. unit sounds terrific, but the crossover of remote signals is a load of crap. had i known this, i would have purchased a different brand.. if you don't have comcast , you're fine.

No. This is an infrared remote, which works only on line-of-sight with your components; meaning that you should have no problems with it interacting with any gear at which it's not pointing. The beam won't even penetrate a thin wood cabinet door, let alone a floor, nor a wall, at all. If the URC R40 were an RF (radio frequency) remote, then you might have problems, but only if other gear shared some of the same codes with which it's been programmed.

What are the uses that are most affected by the RF signal? I see these posts a lot, and have a decent knowledge of RF, but I'm curious why people complain about this so much.Many traditional remotes without RF will still allow you to control a device out of your line of sight as long as it is in proximity (same room) to you.In any event, my understanding is that the Harmony One does not have RF. I'm waiting for somebody to reply to my question on the top review to clear this up.

I don't know for sure but it basically interfaces with the indoor head unit and sends signals to the unit as if the signal was coming from the remote control that came with the unit. I like the ability to remotely control the units but their usability is far from perfect. Get help programming them and post what you find out.

No, but the signal can get interfered with depending on the object. It might cut out a bit. For best sound try not to be in different rooms
