I use the Harmony 880 and I really like it. Every 6 month to a year, the charging station stops charging the remote, though.

Try the Philips SRP5107/27 Universal Remote, which you can get for around $18.00 at some discount department stores. Also, it has a "Learning" button, which allows you to transfer unique features from other remote controls into the Philips SRP5107/27.

google the name of the remote along with + manual and it should fine it for you.

I just picked up the Sony RMVZ320 Remote Control @ Best Buy yesterday for $16.99 and it works perfectly. It also handles my Comcast DVR functions, so I only have to use this remote. BTW, I'm using it with the L32HDF11TA.

Logitech told me that all I needed was a single ir extender to add to my harmony one remote - and that would fix the problem. I haven't bought it yet, but I wanted to leave a comment, so people will have a little more info.

OMG! Thanks! I knew it had to be something simple that i was missing. Thanks again for your input! I had already pretty much given up on the idea of having a working remote before reading your post today. Im sure you probably read my question and thought "is this person serious?" lol

There is a set you can buy that includes two remotes with the plug ins, specifically for the purpose you are wanting. Amazon does sell it, as I was just considering buying it now rather than this single remote set - doing comparison shopping. I think you can find it by simply adding "2nd remote" in your Amazon search.

One magic, no standard. The magic remote is OK once you get used to it. I think you can buy a generic standard remote because my blue ray remote works with the TV too.

650 is the most basic remote that I'd allow someone I know to have. The 880 is better than both but 700 is good if you can find find r a decent price.

I find that I don't use them. It's a good TV, but it's a TV first. I've never used these motion, or gesturs, or spoken comands to my TV. You'll have your cable or sattelite receiver and that's the remote you'll use to change channels, turn your TV on/off, and affect volume. I'd buy last year's model and save your money and forego the fancy features you won't use.

No Justin. Of course not. With this remote you are the boss. Just try to read the manual and unleash the features that it has.That's all

The link to the remote you've listed is the best (least expensive) remote and it works. Not sure how "reliable" it is, but I've had mine for months and it's never failed.

Did you ever find a remote for the split system? I'm in the same boat. Thanks

We use the remote. However, since I got my universal remote I only use that one.

Holly, After I bought one of these units, I searched all over the place, including talking to someone at 3M and the answer I got was that they made a remote for this unit, but it is no longer available. I have not been able to find one after an extensive search on Amazon, EBay, and several dozen tech equipment places, including several that are authorized 3M dealers. If you find 2, I'd love to get one! :) I have used it hooked up to a laptop (and that was an adventure as well!) and use a standard laptop remote I got from Office Depot.

Not a dedicated one. What type of device are you wanting to control? I ask because when I'm watching DirecTV, the center circle button pod acts to take me up or down one channel at a time (or through time left and right), and the CH+- button cause me to page up and down. So while not dedicated, I get an effective pgup/dn button anyway. It's a learning remote, so presumably one could program any buttons to act as a page up key as well.
