So, is it worth waiting for the 4000?

I have mostly Sony equipment (plus a required Motorola cable box). I was looking at the Sony LCD remotes for the same reason as JV, I want to tidy up the clutter. However, the top model we have in the Great White North is the 3100. Reading about it, it seems that the 4000 has the PC programming and it doesn't appear that the 3100 has that. Is it important, or is the list of codes plus the learning feature enough? Anyone used both? (It seems that the 3100 is an expanded 2500) Appreciate any info or opinions.

I have a Pronto TSU7000.. great remote, fairly easy to program has much more combined macros functions that the sony but of course at a greater price. The sony is a great buy.

The PC Programming takes a little getting used to, key word to remember once you try it a couple of times is ADVANCED. The advanced menus and settings are fully customizable. I just programmed the 4000 to mirror my TiVo remote. There's no button like TiVo, but I'll learn the new buttons soon enough. Lots of reading still to do. If you'd like to get a cheap 4000, I will post the info here.

anyone have a good solution for a remote with both IR and RF? I currently have to use my Tivo remote and Bose remote to watch TV and its a PITA!!!!

Plus, if I can't get all the Tivo buttons to work, I guess I'll have to use 2 remotes forever.

Good question. I have been looking for a good AV remote that will also send X10 commands. All suggestions welcome.

Nice remote JV!

I think the Sony that JV got can send X10 commands.....JV?

I'll sell you mine.....

That would be cool if it did. I don't think it can send X10 via RF, but if it can send X10 via IR, I could make that work. hmmmm

Several of the Logitech Harmony and Universal Remotes models will do this. However, it depends on the Bose model you have.

There seems to be an RF and IR logo on the chassis of this thing, hmmm...I'll and post the finding here.

EDIT: I don't see nothing in the manual to indicate specifically that it can handle RF & IR, but numerous mentions of IR radiation and radio frequency usage and emission. It does expressly say that non A/V devices to be controlled must be infrared.
