Hello everyone, I was hoping you could help me out again. A while back, probably around a 8 months now I broke the lcd on my mx-500. I planed on getting it fixed but I never had the money. I've been getting tired of not having a nice remote, so I'm going to breakdown and get the mx-500 fixed or perhaps get a different remote. So, should I got back to the mx-500 or shoulld I get a cheap learning remote like the vl900 or a jp1 remote? I'm just not sure I ant to spend the 50.00 to get the mx-500 fixed, I feel like I might as well buy a new one and have a warenty on it as well. So, what do you think?

May as well buy a new MX-500. Or look to a new MX-650 or MX-700 (will cost more, however).

I'm with Daniel on this one. If you want a nice remote, why not upgrade to one of the better models? At least you will "future-proof" yourself to some degree, since the MX-700 and up are PC-programmable and there are plenty of resources for new codes and models. The files area on Remote Central alone is a tremendous resource.



Happy Holidays,

I prefer the 700, but if you don't want to spend the money, the 350 offers more than the 500. More pages per component, more macro's, about the same money as a 500.

I was always sold on the 500 for a lower priced remote (?) but, after programing a few 350's, my opinion has changed.

The 700 blows away both though, if you want to spend the money.
