Great Tuner but doesn't play well with others August 5, 2008
I think this receiver is good overall but they fell short on several of the control connections. I was excited to see that this unit had a rear infrared input for use with remote control systems and repeater systems but unfortunately it doesn't work. I have verified this on several different units using Universal Remote controls and others that usually work with anything. I'm glad the manufacturers are finally realizing that people hate to stick ugly IR flashers that are prone to falling off on the front of their electronics but they need to make them work for this connection to be useful. In the end, I have either taken the units apart to install the flashers inside or stuck them on the front when I'm pressed for time. I haven't tried the RS-232 port but I'm sure they meant input or input/output instead of just output in the description. The 12V trigger input on the back could also be useful if it worked. I have tried to use this several times to turn it on and off with the system but again it just doesn't work reliably using a number of triggers and power supplies of various ratings. Also missing are separate power on and power off infrared codes. The remote uses the standard power on/off toggle which is useless for most control systems. All in all it is a great unit but expect to leave it on all the time and run it from the front since it can't be controlled reliably. I gave it three out of five stars because these manufacturers really should have figured out these control issues by now....
