Wow, that salesman must really know his remotes. "Outside of the range of universal remotes" is a pretty sweeping statement. This would suggest he knows the low- and high-end of the range for all universals. Well, he'd be wrong in thinking that.

First of all, I don't have the Device you are referring to, but I doubt if JVC would come up with a set of IR commands that fall above 140 kHz, just for this unit. If they did, I would check out the Sony VL-900, which reads up to 500 kHz. It's only $70 or so.

But hang in there for a few minutes: I think you've been bamboozled... one of our regulars will be along here soon and wil give you the real answer... . ... Mike
