I have an MCE remote, (running on the USB receiver) that has the option to run two blaster units, for controlling other devices.
The only thing I would like to control outside of the HTPC is the AV Receiver volume - a Marantz SR4002. While I can do this using my Harmony remote, I actually prefer the feel of the MCE remote.
a) is there anyway the MCE remote can learn IR commands from the Marantz remote without using 3rd party plugins (IR Server Suite, Girder etc)
b) how do I set the blasters to control the volume of the AV Receiver once I have attached the extender units to the IR input on the amp? Does this always require another piece of software, or is there any built-in support in MP?
If it comes down to it, I will re-program the Harmony and go back to using that, but I am a traumatised ex-iMon user, and my therapy has only just ended...
