Anyone know?

Letsautomate.com are doing it for £149.90 + £5.50 p&p without the docking station, but can this be beaten?

I've got a brand new Marantz RC5000 I'm thinking of selling. In champagne with the docking station - never ever got around to programming the thing.

Make me an offer.

I'm interested in ya Marantz remote. Is it basically the same, feature-wise as the Philips Pronto i.e. can you download and create your own menu's via a PC etc?

Oh and can you give me a ball-park figue of how much you'd like for it? How much did it used to sell for cos I do believe a new model has already been released.

Tried for one of these for a week on the classifieds. I will offer you £130 for it.

Yep, check out Remote Central (www.remotecentral.com) for some help in programming.

I have the Pronto, I paid £165 in store at Richer Sounds. You can buy stuff at web price plus 10% in stores if you ask.

This was one of THE best purchases I have made for my HC. Its such a good remote, you will love it :D
