5 Remote Controls for Your Home Theater
5 Remote Controls for Your Home Theater
By Robert Archer
Remote controls can make or break a system. Here are five remotes for your home theater.
You've installed the latest audio system complete with Dolby TrueHD, DTS Master Audio and 7.2 channels of sound.
You've augmented the audio with the latest Blu-ray player, 1080p projector, constant height curved screen and anamorphic lens.
The only thing left is the remote control, which may be the most important part of the system. The choice of remotes, and the skill level of the programmer, can make or break a system.
According to the CE Pro 100 Brand Analysis, the five most popular remote control brands are: Universal Remote Control, Crestron, RTI, Control4 and Logitech.
Here are 5 Remote Controls for Your Next Install.
