Hi Should I put remote stations or remote stations with scans in other bedrooms except the master? They're the same price just not sure whether to give the kids control over the master functions. Thanks

A follow up: I am extremely happy with this wireless Logitech DJ. Piece of cake to set up. No problem from the Denon to the slave amp and beyond. Very, very nice remote. I am amazed that I can use the remote to select any song and hear it anywhere around the house (speakers in kitchen, and outside are on same system). WOW. Easy to navigate my 4000+ song library by artist, genre, album, etc. Even plays existing playlists with option to edit playlists on the fly. All with the remote. Very cool. I do think the USB connecting wires could be longer, especially because of the directives to place the streaming unit X feet away from the desktop computer AND from any existing router (sheesh, then give me more than 5 feet to work with already!). I had to relocate some things to eliminate noise. And I get a rare hiccup in the stream. No biggie. Rearranging my USB connections to make this puppy a direct connect out the desktop (rather than hub) may help that. The negatives (short wireless range and only one receiver at a time) are not factors for me in my setup. So it is perfect for what I wanted. Getting Windows Media Player to learn and save Live365 Internet stations was a little dicey for me. Trying to merge Live365 Internet radio (new to me) and the Logitech DJ (also new to me) with the Windows Media Player was a stumble. Had to save stations one by one. But I now can scroll through 27 saved stations on the remote - from Mississippi blues to Reggae dancehall to Celtic traditional to South American classical guitar. Thousands more out there to add if I want. Wonderful. Fabulous. I'm loving this! Almost happy the last local classical radio station folded and led me into this journey. Best $89 I've spent in a long, long time. And thank you Steve for your help.

momcat -thank goodness someone knows what I'm talking about! Ok - so from the outside it looks like this. Except on the inside the tubes go pretty deep. In the upper unit there is a tube but we tried yelling in between them and no luck, probably due to the rusted out portion in the lobby. Thanks for your help - this is a really difficult one to track down, and unfortunately at one point someone decided to do a moroccan theme (I know it makes me want to pull my hair out) in the lobby and basically ruined any chances or restoring mine due to their 'creativity'.

I know someone who has a 70's/80's version of the one Pharaoh showed. It's fully operational and even has a tape player in it that plays in all the rooms. It's vile! The tape player that is. The rest of it isn't very useful. Theoretically, it would be useful to be able to talk to the front door from the back patio, but that requires the visitor to know how to operate it. In my experience, handset operated intercoms (i.e., with phone-like, or walkie-talkie-like receivers) work pretty well. The old systems were very tinny and not great for communication. For monitoring the nursery, a good baby monitor will work better. So in answer to Jeri's question: If it's operational, there's no need to tear it out, unless you want to get rid of the panels. If it's not operational, it's probably not worth fixing if you're not Jurassic technology fans. If the wiring is in good shape, it might be worth leaving it in place in case you might want to use it, or use it as a pull guide, for a new system at some point.
