| | In Stock | | Availability:
Usually ships in 1-2 business days | | | This is what the Mastercontrol RF30 is all about: the RF30 is designed to operate up to 15 different AV components and is pre-programmed to operate virtually all brands of TV, VCR, DVD and CD Players, cable set top boxes, satellite receivers, TiVo® and other DVRs, audio components, tape decks, multimedia PCs, satellite radio, Ipod®, X- Box®, lighting controls and other custom installation products. It also offers an impressive lineup of special features designed to provide you with many time-saving conveniences and enhance your overall entertainment experience. Pre-programmed Codes The RF30 is guaranteed to control all your components because of the extensive library of thousands of AV component codes pre-programmed into the remote. Learning Capability The RF30 can actually "learn" commands from other remote controls (old or new), one button at a time, so it will always be up-to-date and never become obsolete. The RF30 is the last remote you’ll ever need. MacroPower™ Single-button Control MacroPower is a unique feature that enables you to turn all of your components ON or OFF at the same time, simply with the press of one button. What would normally take multiple remotes and button pushes, the RF30 can accomplish with the press of one button. In addition to the Power ON or OFF buttons, any of the Component buttons can be set to be "macro" buttons. SimpleSound® Total Volume Control SimpleSound is a dynamic feature that gives you total volume control over all the components in your system, even those without their own built-in volume control such as TiVo, DVD and VCR, thus saving you the hassle and inconvenience of constantly needing to switch between Component modes on the remote. With SimpleSound you can set the RF30’s volume control buttons to always control the sound in your system, even when you’re in VCR or DVD mode, without switching back to AUDIO or TV. Even more exciting, SimpleSound has what is called a ‘Punch Through’ feature and is not limited strictly to volume control. Fully Backlit Keypad This makes the RF30 easy to use in the dark or in dim lighting conditions. Simply press the LIGHT button, conveniently located on the side of the remote, to backlight all the keypad buttons and the LCD screen. To turn off the backlight press the LIGHT button again, or just wait 10 seconds (the backlight automatically shuts itself off). Favorite Channels This is one of RF30’s most desirable features. Once it’s set up, you can select up to 40 favorite channels with the press of a button – without the need to remember or type in a channel number. Customizable LCD Screen You can easily edit or change the name of any of the display buttons (including Favorite Channels) on the LCD screen. "Barrier-free" RF (Radio Frequency) Capability Of all the RF30 features, this is probably the most exciting. When used in combination with the optional PowerBlaster™ [sold seperately], the RF30 becomes an amazing remote control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and floors – both indoors and outdoors. This changes everything...it enables you to control components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100’ away. The PowerBlaster picks up the RF30’s radio frequency signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so the RF30 doesn’t need to be pointed directly at any component. Just imagine – no more pointing! Now you can close your entertainment center doors, hide your components, and still control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers on your patio. Control your components anywhere! DVD Programming Guide The DVD Guide supplied with the RF30 will assist you in programming your remote and customizing it to satisfy your specific needs by guiding you through a simple, easy, and quick step-by-step process.

URC MasterControl RF30 - Excellent Jun 13, 2008 I was quoted $399 and $349 dollars for an RF universal remote control with setup from my local Home Theater company. So I did some search on the web and found this control on Amazon for around $70 and purchased it. It was very easy to configure, it recognized all my components on the first try. The user's guide had very easy step-by-step instructions to setup the most common Power On/Off Macros and I only had to customize a few items, which was very easy. This was an excellent purchase, great bang for you buck.

One remote to rule them all! Works for me. Apr 24, 2008 I bought this to replace my logitech harmony 628 remote. I was surprisingly impressed on how well I was able to do it on a rf remote under $100 (or even $60). Plus in the future, I will rewire and split the satellite from the living room to the bedroom where the RF feature will come in handy.
The customizable 8 touch-screen buttons makes it possible for me to use this universal remote.
Being able to have 5 pages of the 8 touch screen buttons for each components, makes it possible to add those unique buttons that are not on each kind of remotes.
I only have 4 devices: a tv, dvd player, hddvd player, directv sat. I set each "first page" of the non-tv with a "tv source" and "tv power" button. Such that, I can turn on/off the tv without having to go back to the TV commands in the menu.
pros:
cost, highly-customizable
menus are very simple: main->components (8 buttons per component on each page with 2 pages)->sub-pages (8 customizable buttons one each page; up to 5 pages).
cons:
the light button is amber - red, I am more used to blue from my other remote
cannot increase or decrease the "Main" pages. I want to hide the second page of components because I only use 4 right now, however, it is no big deal. I would also like to be able to add another 8, 16, 24, etc devices--but seriously, I do not have more than 10 devices in any room.
I currently do not know if I can copy a component to a different slot. I have wanted to change the layout and rearrange the components on the Main page, and having to re-learn some remotes makes it time consuming.
there is a max of 5 characters for each custom button label. (not really a big deal, you generally can abbreviate what you need.)
I would have liked a computer interface like the logitech's or something so I can edit the menus a little easier. But, the edit menus in this one is easy to use.

So far so good Mar 30, 2008 So far so good. I received the item quickly and have not had the time to configure it. Just this past weekend I started to configure it and so far so good. Working on the Macro part of it and I am sure it will be simple once doing it a few times. It is not as fancy looking as the3 Logitech remotes, but for the price you cannot compare.

Great Remote Feb 26, 2008 Sturdy, good layout, well lit, very flexible. Takes a little while to program. RF works very well
UNIVERSAL REMOTE Jan 21, 2008 I have owned 5 different universal remotes in the past. This is the best hands down, very easy to program,it is RF & IR so you can use it anywhere. The other remotes I have used were hard to program and they always ran out of memory. I have 5 amplifiers, DVD changer, XM and a dish satalite reciever all in the RF30 and it still has room for more.
BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK
