The remote that came with the system is not worth much except for on/off and volume (it had a multi-source option, but I was running single source). The IR repeater works well.
I finally got around to installing an A-BUS system from Channel Vision (single source AB-902); it works great even in higher ceilings (10 ft) and outdoor patio areas (10 ft). Five years ago I wired my new house with Cat5 for line level audio and 16 gauge from the volume control to the speakers.
But after connecting up a Russound R235LS amp, that I expected I would need, they rocked very nicely. I am driving some NHT iC2s and Speakercraft CRS 6.1s, they have plenty of volume and sound excellent.
A pair of larger NHT iC3s in a 12 foot ceiling large room were a little weak. The volume controls are not turning off automatically, but this is probably due to some signal leakage at my main amp causing them to stay on.
I purchased a learning remote that takes care of everything.
