| Review: | I purchased this remote to serve a very specific scenario: remote control of a 400 cd changer and amp from outside the house. The unit comes packaged with a rf/ir receiver/converter that must be placed in the line-of-sight of the components to be controlled. If they are behind a closet door, a small emitter (included) can be used to route the signal from the converter to the component.
The remote allows me to change discs, adjust volume, mute the sound, etc., all while sitting outside on the patio, approximately 50 feet from the room the components are kept in. It will also make those changes if I'm at the back of the yard, about another 100 feet from the patio, although it often takes more than one key-press to accomplish the task from that distance. When you figure that this was a cheaper alternative ($49 vs about $800) to hardwiring a controller out on the patio, if it works at all it makes it a pretty good value. The fact that it also functions as a very good remote for all my other equipment (including x10 control), the value just shoots through the roof.
At the risk of making a sexist comment, I have to tell you guys that the wife approval factor in my investment in audio became very high after purchasing this remote. She loves the fact that we're not running in and out to change the volume level each time we play a new cd. Since we spend a great deal of time outside, this was a pretty significant gain. Hope this helps everyone. |
