Universal Remote options

[jadenfrancis]

HELLO... I’m a medical student that loves to dabble in home theater as a hobby. Long story short, one of my attending docs found out about this and has “hired” me to set up his theater in his new house. His wishes are pretty much just “get it to work”. I think its pretty easy, but his stuff is in the storage room next to the theater. All he has in there is his receiver, cable box, dvd player, and a cd player. The projector and speakers are all wired to the room already. I pretty much just need to plug it all in for him.

I guess my question is just, do I need to go to a professional to get one of those fancy RF remotes, or will a harmony do? His set up is very basic to have one of those guys come out for 200 bucks and program a remote. I do worry about the projector needing to be controlled in the same room, while everything else is a room over.
