And 'the only device that can really make or break your home theater system, the remote control. It is good to have a computer and best latest and greatest DVD collection of the world, find out if you can not use something similar. True home theater nirvana is a fantastic for anyone who used to run the touch of a button.
Many receivers today's home theater and surround processors come with an "intelligent" control from a distance. Some of them are actually pretty good.B & K and Denon come to mind. If you know what you do, you can program one of these children so that the whole system very well orchestrated. If you do not have the time or inclination for such a project even rent, a professional installer to bring everything together for you. A good place to start is CEDIA (Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association). They have associates in every state, and many other countries who are experts in making complex home cinemaeasy to use.
Remotes in different flavors. The more people are familiar with with every electronic component you buy these days. For the most part do a good job of making the particular component, what you want. They also control some of these other components, especially if they are from the same manufacturer. For example, you can control your TV remote to your VCR or DVD player.
The next step on the remote controlHead of the so-called "smart remote" is. This type of remote can control multiple devices from different manufacturers. Some may be up to 8 or 10 different components. They are usually set to control each device by inserting a 3 or 4 digit code. Some of these devices will learn control functions from other remotes. This is useful if you do not have the device in an internal database of the remote control. Normally achieving learning byEnter in "learn" on the one hand, intelligent remote control and shows the '"teaching" remote at the smart remote and pressing the desired key. Viola! Your smart remote has learned the command from the original remote.
If things even easier than using just one remote control, they want to control everything, you do not have a remote control with macros. These are command sequences initiated by pressing a button. For example, you want to watch a DVD. Normally you would need to turn on the TV, DVD player andSurrounding the receiver. Then you need a TV with component input and the receiver to the DVD source. With a remote control macros, this sequence is programmed into the remote control. The remote then plays again, all the commands in the correct order so that you do not have to do anything.
If you want a remote that controls everything, you need a remote with many buttons. This is the remote a little 'intimidating. Of course it can be almost anything but make toast, but where to start?If you have the budget, now is the time to get a touch-screen remote control. With a touch screen, you usually have only a few buttons real. These are usually the most important functions such as volume up / down, channel up / down, mute and possibly cursor.
All other buttons are just icons on a screen that you touch to initiate the desired command. The beauty of this approach is that you just need some icons on the screen at any time to have. This really reduces the buttonDisorder and confusion. The symbols, graphical representations of the command that makes everything very intuitive. For example, you can create a logo "NBC" will have to go to the local NBC station.
Touchscreen remotes come in four basic variations. First there is the choice of color or grayscale. The color looks better and more information can be communicated quickly. Grayscale units are much cheaper. Subsequently, communication with the remote control of one or two ways. Two-wayCommunication allows status updates on the same distance. For example, it is possible album and artist of a music server or the status of the security system or thermostats. Two-way communication on a two-way radio link, similar to a digital spread spectrum provided.
The last two-way remote control is used by companies such as AMX and Crestron introduced using WiFi. This allows a number of other possibilities. The offer is spectacularfor one thing. You can walk around your entire house. For some devices you can surf the Internet. Imagine watching a game, but you want updates from around the league. ESPN.com just to go to the remote and take a look.
The remote can really make or break your system. Can a system unusable with 7 different remotes or a fantasy that visitors can use it without instructions. It 's all up to you, your budget and your programmer.
