In Control


Universal remotes, touchpad controls, voice-activated commands… where to start? Tha Media Room breaks down some of the latest high-tech ways to carry out your wishes.

Universal Remote Control offers up the motherload, with its state-of-the-art MX-6000. A large color display, Wi-Fi networking capabilities, audio video components, touch panel operation on an LCD screen, two-way feedback, a built-in web browser, iPod docking options and more make this piece of equipment your golden ticket to total “remote control.”

Samsung’s RMC30C2 Touch Control is a one-stop-shop for your TV and playback controls, and then some. Modeled in the likeness of a smartphone, the three-inch, full color touch-screen streams PC, digital camera, cell phone, audio and video files directly to your HDTV or Blu-ray disc with its unique AllShare technology. The remote also switches to a QWERTY keyboard for easy nagivation of your Samsung apps—plus it keeps track of your preferences and is completely rechargeable.

The new Prestigo universal remote from Philips is an impressive little toy. A clean layout prefaces its do-it-all, user friendly status. The remote’s LCD display can show only the buttons you use most frequently, and starts up your home entertainment activities with one click versus controlling each device separately. Power up your TV, DVD player and home theatre system in record time! The tech-savvy control has the ability to connect to your PC or Mac and is capable of controlling nearly anything out there, thanks to its infrared code database for more than 300,000 devices.

Need some help deciphering which one is right for you? Drop by Tha Media Room and we’ll talk you through all the clicks and buttons you need to know.
