Sony RM-AV3000 Universal Remote

[bigbear1969]

I have a Sony RM-AV3000 universal remote. I purchased it because I was planning on istalling a full x10 system in my new ho0me and it supposedly controls x10. I have the RR501 transceiver and everything works with my active home (original) and the black x10 universal remote. But the RM-AV3000 does nothing. Anyone got any ideas?

Does this remote transmit RF signals?  Is there an FCC ID number on the label?
From what I can see from the manual, it's only an Infrared transmitter.  If so you'd need something like an X10 Infrared Mini-Controller (IR543) to convert the IR signals to X10 powerline commands.

That is the problem. It seems the AV-3000 does transmit RF, but not on the x10 setting. I just assumed that since it was an rf capable remote it would control the rf transcievers. Live and learn!!!
