Why it's cool

Wouldn't it be wonderful to press one button and have your home theater system come to life? Or when it's time for bed, you could press one button and the lights throughout your home would switch off or dim to the levels you want? The remote control systems we install can do all this and more.

What it does for you

Remote control systems can make operating any of your home electronics much simpler.

The functions of several individual remote controls can be combined into a single, easy to use touch screen.

Remote control commands can be combined into 'macros' so that with the touch of just a single button, a series of commands can be sent to your system.

With a remote control system, you can hide your equipment in closets or cabinets and still control it — even from another room!

How it works

Most systems work on either infrared (like your VCR remote) or RF (radio frequency, like your cordless phone).

In both systems, control functions for your equipment is programmed into or learned by the controller. In this way a single controller can replace several controllers.

Controls can be hand held, tabletop, or wall mounted and can be keypads with buttons or touch screens.

In infrared systems, tiny receivers placed near your TV (or other convenient location) relay the Infrared signals to equipment hidden in cabinets or located in other rooms.
