Urc never disappoints!
By NeuroTech
I have installed more of these units than I can count over my 9 yr home theater career. This unit is almost never the problem when troubleshooting the system. A good accessory for this is split IR splashes. The little ir emitter that you stick on the front of the equipment. They sell them with 2 emitters per phono jack used on the control station. As long as both devices are different brands you can assign them both to one output. This extends the output to control up to 8 devices from anywhere in the house. Very handy to make this base station able to control a room worth of equipment as well as the whole house equipment. This unit works with all of the MX series remotes from URC.

By George McIntyre
This is a fantastic product. Works flawlessly. The family was not good at pointing the Universal MX 810 at the gear, and leaving it pointed until the macros completely executed - this eliminates the need to point. Very highly recommended!

Useful Product, Poor Longterm Reliability
By N. Alexander
My theater is set up such that the projector, receiver, and other devices are not in the line of site while viewing the screen, making it very awkward to point at the device when you want to send a remote command. Adding a MRF-260 to my setup solved this problem. I could point at the screen, the chair, or anything else and the command would get through. It worked so well that I bought two more for other areas of my home. The next two didn't work as well.One problem was I have blu-ray players and cable boxes from the same manufacturer in my theater and bedroom, and both areas are controlled by MRF-260s. So if I watch a movie in my theater, the MRF-260 sends a "play" command to the blu-ray in my bedroom as well (assuming the unit isn't turned off). A more serious problem is reliability. All the flashers outputs on the back failed on one of the new units right out of the box. That unit only put out IF through the front blaster. The other two units also started failing in different ways, 1-2 years later. One of the MRF-260s only put out flasher outputs in some of the ports in the back, so I'd need to move around the connectors to find one that work. Both of the two units on which I use flashers started to miss commands inconsistently. I often fast forward through a commercial, then when the commercial finished pressed play. I might need to press play a half dozen times over a period of 10 seconds before one of them got to my cable box. By then I'd have missed minutes of the show, so I'd need to rewind and start the process again. While other times, commands would get through without issue the first time. Some of this problem is my cable box being especially sensitive and not the MRF-260, as I have more problems with the cable box than other products. However, other products also started failing 1-2 years after purchasing the MRF-260 at a lower rate than the cable box, so it is not just a cable box issue. I realize that the MRF-260 has a power level adjustment on the flashers for sensitive devices, which didn't help my situation.
