This remote is very easy to use and completely controls all of your home theater devices. No offense to "radio producer" Dave L and his self proclaimed technical expertice, but he must have set his remote up wrong. I am not an overly technical guy, about average for a 50 year old I would say, and I had NO PROBLEM with any of the set up nor with controlling stuff. If you enter the brand and model of your devices they will be controlled perfectly by this device. from Amazon.com I have used many universal remotes over the years (including most of the first universal remotes on the market many years ago), and I really like this remote. Screen resolution is OK, but otherwise no complaints. I had a problem with the remote, and Monster replaced it. I have since purchased a second remote. from Amazon.com I had to toss my Harmony 550 into the trash after numerous programming events that ended in frustration. I researched and was ready to order the Sony RM-AX4000 when I happend upon the Monster. This unit is nicely weighted and balanced. from Amazon.com The Monster MCC AV100 remote control was easy to set up, is easy to use, and best of all,operates all my TV/video & stereo equipment from my new Sony plasma to my 20 year old Carver stereo components. I'm very pleased and would highly recommend it. from Amazon.com It lights up when you move it and can operate while charging. Wow, huh? My AV system currently has eight remotes, and I was looking forward to getting it down to just one like you might imagine. And buoyed by the positive reviews here, I was (yes was) set to hop into remote nirvana ASAP. from Amazon.com I was very particular this time because I have a 400 disc DVD Changer that has an internal catalog. I looked high and low for the best bang for my buck. I found it in the Monster MCC AV100 universal remote. The WAF, Wife Adaptability Factor, is relatively low. from Amazon.com The biggest fault and the prime reason I did not give it 5 stars is the charging base. You have to fiddle with the angle you set the remote into the base before you get it into charge mode. This seems to be a design flaw, but I am contacting Monster to see if that is the case. After contacting Monster and debating on the phone for quite some time I came away frustrated. from Amazon.com I was contemplating all sorts of $$$$ home theater controllers, and decided to give this thing a shot. I was fully prepared to have to call technical support and go through brian surgery to figure this thing out. Well, to my pleasant surprise, the PC software installed on my laptop without a hitch, it was immeidately detected by the PC through the provided USB cable, and the software wizard walked me through everything very intuitively and the controller was managing all of my equipment (Adcom, Sony, Cable Box with DVR, 10 year old Laser Disc player, brand new TV, Sanyo Projector...etc.) without fault in less than 30 minutes from box opening to deployment. The ability to name the buttons is great and its size and display are perfect with a very kool blue glow for the buttons that is activated when it detects being picked up. from Amazon.com Overall I'm very satisfied with the remote capabilities, and relative ease in setup. The remote is used to control a plasma monitor, AV Receiver, digital HD cable box with DVR, DVD, and DVD/VCR combo unit. The multiple remotes were driving my wife crazy (and me too). from Amazon.com Being a gadget freak, I was looking for something to replace my Harmony remote. That's when I found the Monster MCC AV100. I have the new MacBook Pro intel dual core. from Amazon.com
