    The Aeros is custom-programmable via PC software; the software can also be used on a Mac. Each of the components you want to control can be programmed with up to four pages of LCD screens with up to 260 custom commands per component. Program 50 of your favorite channels, and you'll be able to select via channel name, rather than trying to remember the number each time. Programming is simple: the Programming Wizard will walk you through the customization process step by step.

    The MRF-300's built-in front blaster sends the Aeros's commands to components in the same cabinet space. Six self-adhesive "flashers" affix to the infrared sensors on the front panels of your components, relaying commands to components out of sight of the front blaster. If your remote is out of range of the base station, it can still work: The MRF-300 also receives RF signals via the included RFX-150 antenna, which provides coverage of up to 100 feet in normal conditions and can be mounted up to 150 feet away. One RFX-150 antenna is included with the unit, but additional antennas are sold separately.

    Using the Aeros is easy. Select an activity or device, and the remote control will begin a macro that establishes the proper power and issues all necessary commands to set up the sound and picture for your system for that device.

    The powerful memory of the Aeros offers up to 912 potential macro buttons. Each of these macros can play back recorded sequences of commands that completely automate a complex system with one touch. Each macro can record and play back up to 190 steps with time delays between steps when desired. For example: a single touch to the ON button could turn on the TV, the surround sound system, and the satellite receiver, then set the TV to the correct video input, the surround system to the right audio settings, and finish by selecting your favorite satellite TV channel.

    The Aeros is backlit for easy viewing in low-light environments, and its smart memory backup system retains programmed memory for up to 10 years, even if the batteries die.

    You can even use the Aeros to execute X10 commands! Aim your Aeros at the Infrared X10 Command Console (sold separately), and it will translate your commands to turn on lights, close drapes or turn up the heat. X10 plug-in modules are required for this feature and are sold separately.

    The Aeros MX-850 is also available to be purchased separately.

    Reviews

    The remote is fine. However, you have to be careful in buying any remote by this manufacturer (Universal Remote Control). None of their remotes come with software. Only authorized dealers are permitted to give you the software. Some authorized dealers have chosen NOT to even do this. They advise you to go to URC's website to register the remote and download. However, the version of software that URC makes available on their website has the Live Update function disabled. This means you won't be able to update your IR database with new IR codes for any future equipment that you may purchase. This is a new policy of URC that has caused many users heartache. If you don't believe, do a search in the forum sections of avsforum.com or remotecentral.com. You will see how many of us are expressing our displease of this customer dis-service. You have to decide whether this is acceptable before you buy this remote. Don't say you are not warned!
