Without a doubt this is the most common question that I am asked. Remote control is really the benchmark of our industry; regardless of how large or small a system, the remote is the most important element in the system. Our industry has become “all about integration” and making multiple sources and systems work together. I jokingly tell all my clients that I become like an ”aluminum siding salesman” when discussing a remote. I feel that regardless of the budget, a client needs a good universal remote to simplify their system. Simplfy. These days, all systems with iPods, Wii’s, A/V rec.’s, Blu-ray players, 1080p TV’s, etc… are very complicated for the average consumer. Having one remote that will operate all aspects of the system (without having to sort through 4,5 or more remotes) is essential to any system.
