Too Many Remote Controls!!!!!!!
Hi Folks, I have recently bought a Mico Diamante 3000. The thing is now my entertainment centre is all a mass of different remote controls. So what I do need is one single remote to operate all dvd/tv/vcr/hi-fi/sattelite.
I have been trying to scour an universal remote to accomodate my needs but they never seem to have reference for MICO. Does anyone know of any remote control that would suit my needs and operate this dvd player.
Cheers Mikey feel free to email me on:

RE: Too Many Remote Controls!!!!!!!
One way to go is to get a learning remote. There are some on the lektropacks web site:

Still don`t know what a "learning" remote control is! Go on........be a devil and tell Peter

A learning remote.....
basically it just copies the signal of each button from your remote controls (play, pause, volume etc..) and then stores them in its memory. Making a duplicate remote really!
It can copy more or less any remote that uses Infra Red to send the signal to the device.
Unlike other remotes you don`t have to enter any codes for your tv, video etc.
Only problem with "learning remotes" is that when it comes to replacing the batteries then if you are not quick enough then it will loose all the learnt codes and then you will have to program it again.
This can be troublesome if you can`t remember where one placed the original remotes.
It`s not normally the end of the world though, as most learning remotes are also pre-programmed so you can select your equipment.
