URC MX-900i IR/RF Text-based Remote Control Review

Introduction

The URC MX-900i represents a sophisticated approach to universal remote controls, marrying the power of both infrared (IR) and radio frequency (RF) technologies. In the realm of home theater systems, a reliable and comprehensive remote control is not just a convenience—it's a cornerstone of the user experience, providing seamless integration and control over a myriad of devices.

Design and Ergonomics

Build Quality

At first touch, the URC MX-900i feels designed to withstand the daily demands of a home environment. The materials chosen suggest a product that should last, though there have been murmurs among users about durability concerns over time. It's important to consider these anecdotal reports while also recognizing that individual usage can vary dramatically, potentially influencing longevity.

Aesthetic and Comfort

The design of the MX-900i doesn't just catch the eye; it begs to be held. Its contours and button layout are thoughtfully arranged for intuitive, one-handed operation. However, the true test of a remote's design lies in the ease of reaching all buttons without awkward hand movements—a test the MX-900i passes with flying colors.

Features

Display and Interface

The 8-line alphanumeric LCD is a window into the capabilities of the MX-900i. It's not just about channel numbers and volume levels; this display allows for detailed text labels, enhancing the customization potential. Despite being text-based, the interface is surprisingly user-friendly, though it may initially seem daunting to less tech-savvy users.

Memory and Customization

With 1mb of flexible memory, the MX-900i offers ample space for programming a multitude of commands and macros. The accompanying software interface is a double-edged sword—powerful yet requiring a steep learning curve. Users willing to invest the time will find a highly customizable experience at their fingertips.

Backlighting

The full blue LED backlight is more than a stylistic choice; it's a functional feature that ensures the remote remains usable in the dimly lit conditions of a home theater. The backlight is bright and even, avoiding the pitfall of over-illumination that can be distracting in a darkened room.

Performance

Programming and Setup

The USB-based programming is a mixed bag. On one hand, it offers a level of customization that's hard to beat. On the other, the initial setup is not for the faint of heart. It demands patience and a willingness to tinker. For those who persevere, the payoff is a remote that can execute complex actions with a single button press.

IR/RF Capabilities

The MX-900i's dual IR/RF capabilities allow users to control devices even when they're out of sight, thanks to the narrow-band RF technology. Its range is impressive, and the reliability of commands is high. The IR learning function further enhances its versatility, allowing it to adapt to a wide array of devices.

Macro Support

The macro support is where the MX-900i truly shines. It can chain multiple actions across different devices, creating a seamless experience whether you're firing up your home theater or winding down for the night. However, the system is not without its limits, and users with exceptionally complex setups might find the macro programming slightly restrictive.

Compatibility and Integration

Compatibility with code databases and the MRF-400 base station means the MX-900i can be integrated into a diverse range of home theater systems. This broad compatibility is a strong selling point, ensuring the remote can evolve alongside your entertainment setup.

Battery Life and Power Management

The lithium-ion battery offers a commendable balance between capacity and form factor, ensuring the remote doesn't become bulky or unwieldy. Charging is straightforward, and users report the battery life as robust, with many enjoying extended periods between charges.

Pros and Cons

The URC MX-900i is a powerhouse of a remote, offering a level of control that can elevate any home theater system. Its ergonomic design, customization through robust macros, and reliable RF technology stand out as key benefits. However, the steep learning curve associated with its programming and the potential for durability issues cannot be overlooked. Users with complex setups may also find themselves craving more flexibility.

Final Thoughts

The URC MX-900i is an excellent choice for those who desire a high degree of control over their home theater system and are willing to invest time in mastering its intricacies. Its design is thoughtful, its capabilities extensive, and its performance reliable. For the tech-savvy and the patient, the MX-900i could be the last remote they'll ever need. However, those looking for a plug-and-play solution may find it overwhelming and should consider simpler alternatives.
