Remote Controls
Project Type: Home Theater Options
Universal remote controls can be great for integrating the control of a home theater system. However, all infrared (IR) remotes suffer one significant drawback: they must be pointed at the component they are controlling, with a clear line of sight. If components are hidden and/or located in several different areas of the room, it’s difficult or impossible to operate them in an integrated manner. There are IR repeater systems that solve this dilemma; however, they are not reliable 100% of the time.
We believe a more effective solution is a universal remote that emits radio-frequency (RF) signals that don’t depend on line of sight and can even pass through walls.
All remotes we carry are designed to be programmed and installed by experienced custom installation professionals. Our remotes are powerful and quite advanced, and in the hands of a trained programmer they can be configured to exploit all of the rich features that provide maximum consumer benefits. While it may be possible for an advanced hobbyist to derive satisfactory results, it is our strong conviction, based upon extended experience, that our products will not deliver their maximum potential unless they are professionally programmed.
