After an hour of playing around with the non-user friendly, slow software, I gave up. There are no manuals or particular instructions/guide provided on the website or with the remote. Next day I called the folks at Monster and after a good wait, I was plesantly surprise with the service and the attention. They were great, walked me through the confusing process of linking the remote with the omnilink throug the lights control portion of the software (I'm not using it for lights, but audio/video components I store in a closet). from Amazon.com It's such a great idea, but it simply doesn't work as an RF device. It will work as IR device, but is much too expensive as a universal remote. I was very disappointed because I had high hopes and monster is well known company. It just won't work in cabinets and through walls as advertised. from Amazon.com I like this remote and it works very well. It looks and feels like a quality piece of equipment. from Amazon.com My husband and I were about going crazy with all the remotes. We did not even look for a "one size fits all" because we thought we would have to spend a thousand dollars or more. from Amazon.com I have programmed and reprogrammed this device to watch TV, DVR, DVD with a stereo for sound. I choose the radio signal option instead of the infrared and it DOES NOT WORK with any consistency. from Amazon.com Hi, let me preface this by saying I also have a Phillips Pronto Pro TSU6000 remote. It is a similar but more expensive unit than the Monster. Many of my opinions are based on comparing the two devices. from Amazon.com The reason it took so long is because it also took me a while to set it up properly. Once I got it working though, it delivers. I'll share some of my experiences and see if any of them help you decide. First of all, the remote is used to control several AV components, including a Blu ray player, AV receiver, video projector, music server and more. from Amazon.com I bought this remote after my son's friend sat on my Harmony 890 which was a great idea that did not quite deliver. Since I loved the concept and the Monster remote had similar software, I took a chance on the higher priced Monster AVL300 and have not been disappointed. Setup was easy - one button did not get the correct code and I easily used the learning function to fix that. from Amazon.com Now that the price is down out of the stratosphere (I paid $500!), this is a must buy. The programming interface is easy and intuitive. It works more effectively and most simply than any other programmable remote, and I've owned several. from Amazon.com I purchased this remote recently after comparing this one to the Harmony 890. I have since had a chance to use the Harmony and as such will provide a bit of comparison. Pros: Wide ranging support of devices, good button ergonomics, good lighting support, flexible configuration from Amazon.com
