Ok. It's official. My remote terrifies me.

[JJ]

So I've recently had 4 remotes on my coffee table - TV, DVD player, PS3, and the Marantz. I've been told a few times, "JJ, get a universal remote!" - so I began looking into getting one. I've never owned nor never researched universal remotes at all whatsoever. Then, bored, I began looking at the remote for my Marantz receiver - and lo and behold, it is a universal one after I read the manual.

So I began reading the manual as far as the universal remote. It has a "Learn" function. Knowing nothing of remotes, I set it up like it said. Two inches from the IR transmitter of the other remotes.

Bam! The marantz absorbs any and all functions of the other remotes. Sure, it won't do the Bluetooth of the PS3, but good god! This was frightening to me, now I can dwindle down to 2 remotes in a cinch!!

But I'm terrified of it now! I'm afraid it'll absorb me when I sleep.
