Need A/V remote for Pioneer VSX-36TX

[BornOnABarstool]

Hi, I just got a steal of a deal on a Pioneer VSX-36TX. It works perfectly and looks great too, and since I got it for less than ten bucks, I have a few extra bucks to invest in a remote. Anyone know what the correct model remote is for this unit? Thanks

Good thing you only paid $10

You can get the remote from Pioneer for $150. Here's the link:

You can also get it here: http://remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=Search&o=c&m1=axd7257&uid=11942080391400
Price is the same and they offer a 1 year warranty.
If that's not your bag, you might give ebay a try. The remote is the model AXD7257. Hope that helps.

Ok, I searched a bit harder and found it for $125. Here's the link:

Universal Remote

I would recommend a Harmony universal remote for about $100 to control the Pioneer and all of your other gear. The receiver is not such a deal if you have to pay $150 for the OEM remote.

A valid thought, but I have a Harmony that is programmed to work with my Pioneer Elite and it has 34 pages of commands. I'd sooner kill myself that try to use it to set-up my receiver for the first time. Also, there are some commands in there that don't even apply to my receiver and some that don't work correctly. He's getting a THX Ultra certified receiver for $10. I'd try eBay first, but check with some of the vendors I mentioned and see what their return policy is.
