Color Liquid Crystal Display ensures better readability and the capability to visualize colour buttons and backgrounds.
Hard button placement and remote control design are created with ergonomics in mind for single handed use. The most common functions can be executed with one hand and even single grip, so no need to move your hand.
User interface can be created to fully incorporate the end user's personal taste and preferences. So, only the devices and buttons that are used most, will be visible on the touchscreen. Also, the graphical design (backgrounds, icons, buttons, colors used) can be chosen by the user.
A cursor incorporating a rotary wheel enables you to navigate through the setup menu and the device pages, in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.
Backlighting is a feature that illuminates the LCD screen or keypad for use in the dark. The two most common types of backlighting include LED and electroluminescent (EL). Remotes backlit with LEDs are typically bright but uneven with a yellow or green color, while EL panels are smooth with blue, white or green shades.
To ensure you can play your favorite files, wether it be Microsoft Media Center Editions (XP or Vista), WMP10-11, iTunes 6-7, all these formats are supported to be visible on the LCD screen of the remote and can be controlled by the remote.
Instead of operating your components one by one, activity based control blends the most commonly used functions into activities such as "Watch a movie" or "Listen to CD". When a user selects 'watch a movie', rather than having the end user address each individual piece of equipment - such as DVD player, TV and multimedia receiver -, one button holds all necessary commands to be able to start watching a movie: switch on the TV, switch on the amplifier and select the right input, switch on the the DVD player and start playing.
The key layout of the remote control is optimized for controlling home theater equipment. The home theater functions in the key layout of the remote control are placed such that it is easy to find and execute the right commands.
A range of extenders is available, both wired and wireless versions, that extend the range of transmission of the remote control. This enables the user to control equipment hidden in cabinets or in other rooms with one and the same control unit.
