Just looking to see if all are happy .. so far we have heard all good things ..(not that i'd expect otherwise) but i ..as most like contrast .. only bug i've heard is a few with the auto set up with mic but is user error.. for the most part .. also any new saloon members ..(im no veteran ) wont feel this is a bias place for info.. i am a audioreview member and cant wait to get a review set up in their site.. so far it seems outlaw has another great piece of equiptment on thier hands ..

Well, obviously, there is the issue of getting it into the equipment rack - it's tall and deep, so it can pose a challenge depending on your situation. I also suspect that there will be a number of folks who will end up picking up a third party universal remote (such as an MX-500 or a Harmony) since the included remote is a pretty basic universal piece.

Someone had mentioned that the 990 remote was similar to the one that shipped with the model 1050.

That may mean that the remote is JP1 compatible. Anyone know for sure ?

It is a UEI Catalyst48, the same remote as the Model 1050 used. I believe that it is JP1 compatible (at least, there was some discussion of it being feasible back when the 1050 was still in production), and I do seem to remember seeing some jumpers under the battery cover the other day. HiFi-Remote might be able to offer some more info on it.

great quick input .. hey gonk i see you recommend the harmany 500 ... do you have a price or dealer to order from ?? and i believe harmany has online codes for units ??? 990 is already on there???

sorry i didnt get my & between harmony and 500 .. i have heard good things about the harmany ..

I have a Harmony 676 that I use with my 950 and I'm really quite happy with it. My standard caveat is that it can take quite a lot of tweaking to get the setup just right, but it's very versatile and the Harmony database of devices is enormous. EVERYTHING I own was in their database (and, trust me, I have a couple of fairly esoteric items.)

thanks bobblinds very helpfull..

I did a Harmony "test drive" earlier today in anticipation of getting my 990 this weekend.

The 990 is now listed for Outlaw devices.

Does the Harmony have an extensive macro language, or are you stuck with downloads.

I have not used one, but they seem to be more popular where I live than the MX500/800.
