I have a lighted white remote setup with code one in DTV position, code 3 in AV2, and my Onkyo Receiver in AV1. This works fine (remember when you put a receiver in, you not only get audio volume, etc, but, you get the full gamut of number inputs such as 1=Video 1, 4= DVD, 9=Video 2 etc.)

I can't get the remote apart after removing the 4 visible screws. I wish to re-engineer or replace the tiny slide switch with something functional. I love the buttons, text and lighting, but, the slide switch is not really meant for routine use.

Has anyone had one apart ?

There are only two visible screws in the battery compartment. There are 4 other screws under the grey bezel surrounding cursor & transport keys on the front. Then you pry it apart slightly to allow insertion of an edge of a old credit card, once the card is between the halves, slide popping the catches.

I will attack my good lighted one last. I have about 5 of them. It would beat any MX- or Harmony if I succeed. Bright light, big text, big buttons, proper buttons.

By the way, HR20-100 & HR20-700 running just fine.

It may serve a purpose, but it couldn't compare or beat any true programmable remote like the MX900...How do you intend to program sophisticated macros?

He might not need sophisticated macros. I tried that but three Harmonys couldn't handle the macros I need properly so I just do it manually.

my Harmony 880 handles 6 macros. I have had an mx-1000 it was more veristile, but was way more time consumeing to set up. for my needs the 880 is great. I don't think the remote that came the HR20 would work for me.

I too would like pics of it split in two out of curiosity.
Don't forget to get pics after the mod.
