I just got a RCA RCU1010 from Best Buy and i think it's going back sometime this week. While my DVD, VCR and TV were pretty easy to set up, setting up my pioneer stereo is impossible. With the right code, the power and volume buttons work, but that's about it. Learning my pioneer remote doesn't work as I continually get a learning error. Every now and then I'll get a Learning success on a couple buttons, but after saving and trying it out on the receiver, they don't work. The original Pioneer remote works these functions so i know the remote functions work on the receiver and remote, just the learning functions of the rcu1010 don't. What sucks is that my original Pioneer remote (model CU-AV015) is a learning remote and will learn from the RCA but the RCA won't learn from the pioneer. I bought the RCA remote because there are a couple problem buttons on my pioneer remote, the pioneer remote's memory wouldn't hold all my devices, the touchscreen, the programibility and the ability to relabel buttons on the screen (which turns out to be almost useless with only a couple set choices per label). I'm very dissapointed with it and with RCA. I spent $100 and would like to replace it with something about the same price (no more than $150), any recomendations?

Preferably something Best buy carries as it'll be easier to exchange than to return and wait on a refund check in the mail. Best buy's remotes page is located at [Link: bestbuy.com]

Any opinions on the Sony RMAV2100B?

I would get the MX-500, but I wouldn't pay $150 for it, the price Bestbuy wants. It goes $112 online. Stay away from all RCA remotes. If you want a AV-2100, I'll sell you two for less than the price of one.:)

I ended up getting a RM-AV3000 which I'm happy with. They knocked a little off the price for my trouble. A few of the features seem a little limited (only being able to change labels on the bottom row, etc.), but overall it's a pretty nice remote.

Forgot to mention that they don't have the MX-500 in stores, it's a online only thing.
