Good afternoon all,
How is the RF on the Universal remotes? Does it work well when coupled with Lutron dimmer packs. I was doing some research and have found that with correct product line from Lutron it has the ability to be programmed to control lights as well as anything else that carries it's frequency range. Anyone out there got any feedback for me?
Any updates on this? I too have obtained a (used) MX980 without editor software. Any suggestions? The URC site does not seem to include the 980 in the list of available editor downloads. I do not believe there are any authorized dealers or installers in my area of Canada.
Hello,I have quite the dilemma.I have both the mx-950 and 980 remote controls.I've recently upgraded my home theater system....and need to obviously update remotes.The editor software I have downloaded doesn't have a "live update" option(for either).The code for my pioneer elite receiver is not featured either.I need the software for both so I can update my system.Can ANYONE help........?????????
picked up the mx-980 from an authorized dealer today. told me I can download the software, but no dice as we all know. Not really sure why URC does this. Kind of silly if you ask me
I am in the same boat. I got a MX-980 from an Amazon seller and it arrived today with no software. I have messaged the seller but have not yet received a response. I have a MX 950 that has gone bad on me. I got the 980 thinking and being told by URC that it was the upgrade to the 950. I was unaware of the software issue until today. I assumed the software would come with the remote as it did with my 950. There are no authorized dealers in the whole state of Wyoming so I am forced to go online to purchase it after being told by URC that I could not buy it directly from them. They sent me a link to the dealer locater but it came up with nothing. ps URCs site lists Amazon as an authorized dealer. If some one could help me out here I would be most thankful.
Still no reply from the seller. I have talked with a friend here in town and he said he can hook me up but he has to contact someone so my new remote is still sitting here with no way to program it. If any one could hook be up sooner it would make my day. Please.
Well I called universal and got the software but when I was downloading to the remote the battery went dead and the download failed. Now the remote just flashes and I can't connect to it to redo the download.
Any one know how to reset the remote back to default?
You might try emailing support. One of my dealers spent half an hour on hold on Monday trying to get through to them. I don't know what is up with them that it is so slow, but I never had a problem with dealing with them online. It has been a while since I had to, however.
i finally got thru after 45 mins, rep sent me software, but i cannot get win 7 to recognize the remote itself. the mx editor gives me an unable to connect error.
Hi i bought a mx-980 from ebay.when i got this remote it arrived with no software and since the remote is used urc won't give me the software.so can anybody please help me with the software please.
thanks

Calling on your help once again, is it possible to get a hold of that infamous MX980Setup.exe application again? I am not really all that concerned with the volume pack files, just need the dirty MX980 setup application, reformated comp and forget to plug out the software files I use only on occasion. Anyway hopefully you can help with this once again, also not sure how to send pm's but if you are looking to improve on the existing forums I would be very interested in retrofitting the forum boards (should it be something of interest to you).
Well hope you can help once more. Thanks in advance, as always.
New user here. I have the MX-980 - anyone able to help me with getting the software. I just moved and am unable to locate it. New home theater and now I have a brick mx-980. Please help!!
Hi Sonnie,
Being a newbie here, I don't want to overstep my bounds.
I have a MX980 that I cannot program because I do not or and cannot get the editor.
If you could possibly help I would really appreciated it.
If you cant, thanks anyway.
I recently bought a house with an Mx-980 in the HT system. Was bought from Tweeter which went out of business so I am out of luck with software. Could someone can help with editor software and possibly the expansion pack that some are talking about. Thank you.
I bought the MSC-400 and MX-980. I paid for professional install from an authorized dealer. However, the install is all mucked up. When I hit watch cable it turns on the receiver, but nothing else. While watching the installer work, I noticed some wrong use of if/else statements. Can anyone send me the software for both so I can set this up properly? I don't want to call back and spend another 75$ an hour.
Sorry that you guys are having problems but please call URC and they will on a case by case process send the software to end users, especially in cases where the original dealer has gone out of business or did not do a proper job of installing the system.
It is not allowed for URC dealers to release the software to an end user which is why these are part of the professional line.
To contact URC please call Toll Free: (800) 901-0800
I tried the URC hotline and all they did was point me to another dealer south of town. I find out today the original dealer has closed shop because of the economy. If I can't get the software then I have to pay another 'one time fee' + hourly. What a bogus business model. I'll be out 1k to have a remote work through walls. Help please.
