05.05.2008 — The MX-810 from Universal Remote Control (URC) is capable of controlling a single home theater and a centrally located multiroom A/V system via RF.

The MX-810 can also work in tandem with URC’s MSC-400 Master System Controller.

The MX-810 really affirms its value, I believe, with its interface. It really nails the necessary interactive features that make it easy to use, whether you’re new to the company’s products or if you’re a long-time URC user like myself.

It’s programmed via the company’s easy-to-use, PC-based ProWizard software.

I programmed several components in my bedroom, selecting a series of semi-custom skins to finalize the programming procedures.

Consumers shouldn’t be intimidated by the MX-810, as the interface is user-friendly and can be learned in hours.

The MX-810’s functionality and design are much better than the company’s older models—the MX-1000, the MX-500 and MX-700.
