Customer Reviews

terrible product
It's such a great idea, but it simply doesn't work as an RF device. It will work as IR device, but is much too expensive as a universal remote. I was very disappointed because I had high hopes and monster is well known company. It just won't work in cabinets and through walls as advertised. The software is even worse. There are no instructions and the manuals will not open up on-line and support is available only 8-5 Monday thru Friday, so when does a working person call? Oh well, a $300.00 dollar lesson. Please don't but this product.

AVL 300-S
I like this remote and it works very well. It looks and feels like a quality piece of equipment. I set it up in about an hour and it worked
without a hitch! Pretty good for the first day of ownership.

The next day, I wanted to tweak some settings. OOPS! That is when frustration set in. The Omnilink quit communicating with the remote control because I pressed the connect button, go figure.

As I tried to find answers in the supplied user guide and in the on-line software it became very apparent that Monster had dropped the ball.

It took about an hour of trial and error to resolve the RF network glitch and the remote works great.

Unlike all of my home theater components the AVL300 does not come with a comprehensive user manual. What you get is a quick start guide that could almost fit inside a CD jewel case. The guide has absolutely zero information about lighting control. Now that is pretty sad considering what you pay for this remote.

If the supplied users guide was more robust and contained advanced information on setting up and troubleshooting a system I would have no problem giving this product a 5 star rating.

I would recommend that if you purchase this remote control and have a problem that you cannot solve with the on-line troubleshooter the first time around, call the support line to avoid prolonged frustration.

MCC AVL300-S
Not being a techno wiz, I had someone program the remote for me. While it may be somewhat pricey, it does everything it's supposed to do, and I finally put away 6 other remote controls. What a joy to have this item on my theater armchair.
