Tomorrow my new sytem will arrive. My favorite UPS man will deliver my new Epson Home Cinema 1080 UB projector, 120" screen, Onkyo 750w and PS3.

I am upgrading from a 100" 1024x768 Mitsubishi so I am pretty excited.

The last thing I need is a remote to control everything. I am hoping some of you guys can steer me in the right direction and maybe even give me some setup tips. Here is the break down.

Epson HC 1080 UB Projector
Onkyo TX-SR705 Reciever
PlayStation 3
Nintendo Wii
DISH Player-DVR 625

Will the universal remote that comes with the Onkyo work to operate all of the above? If not, would the Harmony 890 work or should I be looking at something else? Thanks everybody.

no out of the box remote will operate the PS3. You would have to hack together an IR receiver for it.

The 705 has a learning remote so if you have the original you can teach commands that are not in the code base.

Thanks! I just picked up the Harmony 890Pro to try and tame all of this stuff. Hopefully it will do well.
