Multiple Pioneer Plsmas

[W8N4AFREAK]

My question is this. I have 3 TVs on one wall.
1 Pioneer 6070HD and 2 Pioneer 4270HD. ( Seen it in a book, figured I'd give it a whirl ).. Do these TVs work via RF? I would like to configure each TV without running a IR wire from my RF to IR converter. Or maybe I can reconfig the IR commands so each has its own.

The goal is that if I only want to watch my main TV I can enter a macro to shut the other TVs off without standing inches infront of each TV. So not to have them all go off.

I'm using a MX-3000 remote.


Thanks,
Jim

The TVs probably do not work via RF you will need one of the MRF units that Universal Remote sells and you will need to hook that up to your TVs. Once that is done you will be able to program your macro and control your TVs via RF. Here is an example of an MRF unit: http://www.universalremote.com/product_detail.php?model=43

The above example, and product linked to is exactly perfect. You want an addressable RF remote system that will talk to a base station, then will pass IR commands onto the displays independent of each other. Most RF/Universal remote systems do not offer this level of functionality and care must be taken in choosing the right product.

I personally use a Crestron control system which offers an incredible level of control for multiple devices in situations similar to yours.

I have a MRF unit. My equipment is 35 feet or so away from the TVs. I was trying to avoid another MRF for the TVs or splicing the Ir transmitters for the long run. Also, yes I'm being anal but I'd rather not see, although small, the wire wrapped around on the TV. Figured some one may have have some inside trick.

Well if you really wanted to get tricky you could feasibly open up the cabinets on the TV's and stick the IR blaster inside where it hits the sensor. You would probably void the warranty though.

This problem leads to the following question. Why are there seemingly no TV's with IR control inputs on the back like there are on so many other components?
