from www.amazon.com
so your remote upstairs knows the tv is still on, even if you haven't been near it.
from www.amazon.com
i quickly found out that this remote was better than other universals out there because it used rf and was able to control multiple av systems in my house.
from www.amazon.com
for example, say there is an activity for "watch cable" that turns on the tv when you start it, and turns off the tv when you go to another activity called "play cd".
from www.amazon.com
we have had only one issue with it: after we shut off the system subsequent to watching a dvd, when we go to turn the system on for just regular tv viewing, the right video number does not come on.
from www.amazon.com
set up is super smooth, get the manufacturer and model number, type it in during set up on your computer, and it is done.
