Denon AVR-2309ci RF?

[drdawg]

okay so i have an issue. I have my sharp TV in my family room. all the wires are up in the ceiling and the wall to the next room. The denon reciever and the xfinity dvr are in there..The xfinity is easy if i don't want to get complicated, the remote is RF and it works fine. That remote also controls my sharp TV (LC- 65SE94u).

Now the denon is another issue. So is there something i can plug in the back to make it rf and buy a control for it seperately? I just picked up the harmony smart control which is workign fine to control the xfinity box and also the denon...however!!!! you have to put the hub or mini IR blaster where all components are...so....can't contol the Sharp TV now with the remote..i get not being able to control it with my phone but the remote it self doesn't have any IR to just control the TV to go on and off..

any thoughts or ideas?

Cheapest solution is an IR repeater or pick up a universal remote with a RF base station.

It seems odd to me you cannot control the TV with that remote using IR functions and the rest using the RF. I use URC products and during the setup and programming you set up how the component is to be controlled and it is very easy to mix RF and IR controlled devices.

Edit: Well I just looked that device up and it does not in fact do any IR control. Seems a bit odd but as it is primarily to use with your phone or tablet I guess that make sense.

I see it as you have two choices. One is to run a wire from the room to your TV to send IR signals back to a repeater to control the gear or buy a higher level harmony or URC setup that will do IR from the remote and send the RF signal back to a base station to then feed IR to each piece of gear.
