I needed to use my amp for several sources (including TV and the SB), so I got the Harmony 880 universal remote. This lets you turn the amp on and off with the SB, automatically, as well as set the input on the TV. Unless, that is, the amp is an NAD, which doesn't allow power switching via remote (at least, mine doesn't). I used X10 to solve that for a very low cost by buying: - infra-red receiver (IR543) - infra red remote to program the Harmony, although you might not need this (UR19A) - one appliance module (AM466, I think) These were each about $10 each including shipping, on eBay. Downside: you need to already own a universal remote, or it becomes expensive (but the Harmony is well worth the money, IMHO). Powering off and on also produces an audible 'click' that some might find irritating. Upside: you get a one-button-on for any of your amp sources. You also get to control other devices with your Harmony, if you want to buy more modules; think light dimming, projector screen motors, etc. Cheers, Geoff _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
