I have had a pioneer vsx505s reciever packed away and resently reinstalled in in my new home. I realized quickly that I had lost the remote. I've used a universal to at least get access to all features but the test tone level to balance the speakers. Its critical since this is a much smaller room than I had in the past and the balance is WAY off. 2 questions I guess.
1: Any universal out ther that will perforn that function ( I dont want to pay $100 for a new pioneer remote. )
2: Any way to do this without a remote.
Thanks

I think that any universal remote that can perform 'all' of your receiver functions will also be pretty pricey or even cost more.....if it even exists. You may have to bite the bullet on this one, and replace your remote. |

would you be willing to pay $200 for a really good universal remote? |

He specifically said he didnt want to pay the $100 it would cost to replace his original. |

No, he specifically said he didn't WANT to pay $100 for a new Pioneer remote. Just because you don't want to do things sometimes doesn't always mean it's easier if you ignore the real issue at hand.
Again to answer the question so everyone understands...
1)Yes, Harmony sst676 - $150 (you're not paying $100 for a new Pioneer, you're getting a remote that can do much more like perform macros, download 15 days worth of TV guide, allow you to setup speaker tones and levels, be as user friendly as a Shel Silverstein book and more.)
2) No. |

Since Gene started two threads on this, I answered on the other one:

Of course, this answer assumes you can change the speaker trims on the receiver itself. |
