My second Monster Central Control System AVL 300 universal remote just died shortly after one year of use. The first one did the same but sucked it up then and purchased a second one; not anymore. To be honest, the remote seemed nice at first (my original review), but shortly after a month or two of use, it began to show it’s true evil Monster Cable side. The charging system sucks, the remote is fragile and frail, the PC software is pathetic joke, and worst of all now, it won’t do anything.
I just called Monster Cable for advice, but because I was 2 months out of warranty, they simply told me to buy a new one. Sorry, Noel Lee, I did that last time and I won’t do it again. I’m growing up and will purchase a real remote from a company that doesn’t own a NFL stadium and sue the little guys.
I’ll never understand why Monster even exists. It’s a comapny founded completly on duping average Joe into buying a bottle of snakeoil. Glad to see you have figured them out.
Yeah, I would never buy any Monster Cable products. The only thing I’ve seen that are nice are their actual cables, but they’re so over priced it’s just not worth it.
By the way Matt, I hope you cleaned up the cable mess you have! That looks horrible man lol.
You shouldve bought logitech.
I have to echo with the preceeding, Monster started out as a worthwhile company with really neat stuff and got caught up in the NY marketing machine and have now arrived at the peak of below average.
