Well I got some newer equipment, and now I need to update my remote . I haven't needed to get into it since the software stopped updating last year. I was wondering if Parasound's version is current (dated 8/27/06) and if it is updating the database again? And has anybody tried to download the newer remote control software from Univ Remote's website? It requires registration which shouldn't be a problem, but I wondering if it is any different (updated) then what Parasound has on their site (minus the on/off buttons)?
What is the current MXEditor ver?

Hey, Ends, and welcome to the Guide and Club Parasound! :banana: Yes, that's the most current version there. There was a big flap about a year ago or so when Universal Remote suddenly stopped updating their editor programs, and about that time, I got the new control software. Haven't really tried it, though, I just use the legacy MXEditor program. You can't get the URC's software unless you register, and officially, they completely wash their hands of ANY products that they've made for Parasound or other OEM
manufacturers. They refused to do anything for the Parasound MXEditor programming after URC locked it out, saying that all support would have to go to Parasound itself.
You can use any MX-700 programming software, as long as you're willing to play with the power buttons.CHRIS
Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

For comparison's sake with everybody else, if I click the "Help" tab and then "about" on MXEditor, it says 1.12.267. It hasn't had an update available since this time last year.CHRIS

I have looked at the 1.12.267 database and it didn't have the equipment I needed. I tried to register my Parasound MX-700 but it doesn't have a valid serial number (located in battery compartment). Luckily, my friend has two MX-850's and has only registered one of them - so he gave me the serial number of the 2nd one which allowed me to download the new MXEditor. The database on that is 1.12.282 and it had the equipment I needed. I just got done reprogramming it and it works just fine even though the picture in the software was of the Aeros (& the prev mentioned on/off buttons).
Any idea if Parasound is still packaging the MX-700 with the Halo's? If so why hasn't Parasound changed to other manufacturer or come to some agreement with URC?- Bottom
