The MX-950 is the company’s attempt to package all of the MX-3000’s advanced features into a traditional hard buttoned remote – it supports RF, variables, graphics, sounds, nearly unlimited devices, LCD-based keys and macros, not to mention a total of 50 real hard buttons. The last time we looked at a product from Universal Remote Control it was the Complete Control MX-950 “Aurora” ( read our review), the more advanced direct predecessor of the remote that we’re reviewing. But they weren’t done yet, and when the market demanded RF capabilities the company soon responded with the appropriately upgraded MX-600 and MX-800 ( read our review) models. And improve it they did – with numerous refinements to the MX-500 completed over a short period of time, culminating in the release of the computer programmable MX-700 ( read our review). And as any good engineer knows, you don’t want to fix what ain’t broke!īut of course improvements are always welcome. Universal Remote Control may not have invented the concept of a hard buttoned remote with LCD-based labels with the MX-500, but they certainly hit upon a winning formula that remains sensible even today. A well-designed universal remote should remain, well, universal for years after the manufacturer has long since forgotten about it. When the revolutionary Home Theater Master MX-500 ( read our review) was introduced so many years ago, little did I – or probably they – know that it would remain a viable product even after so many generations of other remote controls have come and gone. (URC) is a company that knows what it likes.
