How many remote controls are cluttering your coffee table? Replace them all with a single remote that will control 15 devices, even if the A/V components are located in a different room and/or behind closed doors, such as in a cabinet. The Monster® Monster Home Theater wireless IR/RF Remote Controller will even set up all of the devices involved in your movie watching or music listening with a single button press. Just press one of the Activity buttons, and this universal remote control automatically sets up your entire entertainment system — and even presses Play. The 2.3-inch color LCD screen provides for easy control, and the remote is even rechargeable, so you won't need to be replacing batteries constantly. Just set the universal remote control in the included tabletop charging station, and the lithium battery will begin to charge.
The Monster Home Theater wireless IR/RF 300 Remote is a multi-room unit that works through walls, ceilings and floors, thanks to its built-in RF wireless technology. This feature gives consumers whole-house control, even for multi-zone systems.
The Monster Home Theater 300 Remote comes with a wireless RF-to-IR bridge and IR blaster that mounts in your A/V cabinet or on a wall near your components. Use your remote as you normally would, and signals will transfer to the IR blaster, which will then deliver your commands to your components via four dual-head Monster Control Link IR Extenders, which are included to control up to eight devices.
The universal remote control's color LCD is both functional and stylish, with user-customizable backgrounds, button icons and text. There is ample space for up to eight custom activities or controls, and the on-screen battery level indicator even shows you the status of its charge. The Monster Home Theater 300 Remote supports thousands of brands and products, so with a single remote, you'll be able to control 15 devices, including televisions, plasmas, projectors, DVRs, PVRs, laserdisc players, satellites, cable boxes, amplifiers, receivers, VCRs, DVD players, and even stereo systems!
Monster is known for high-quality sound, the Remote reflects this with a dedicated surround mode button, which allows convenient access to surround sound and DSP modes while listening. A dedicated picture button provides direct access to important picture controls like PIP and aspect ratio: Choose a 16:9 ratio for movies and HDTV, or a standard 4:3 ratio for basic television programming.
The Remote is simple to set up: Connect your Remote to your computer via the included USB cable. Enter your equipment model numbers and answer questions about how you watch TV or listen to music. The setup wizard walks you through the process, step by step.
Featuring a comfort grip shape and a centered directional pad, this universal Remote controller fits easily in your hand and naturally guides you to the most frequently used controls. Even the buttons are sculpted to help you locate them by feel, not sight.
Money Saving Tip:
If you have VERIZON FiOS service,
save money by feeding & controlling multiple TV's in different parts of the house using the SAME converter box. Simply run a coax cable from the "RF Out" terminal of the FiOS Converter box to one or more other TV's. In other words, there is
no need to rent/purchase separate Converter boxes fo the additional TV's. (This would also work with any other Converter box that has a coax "RF out" terminal.)
An example of this is as follows: say that you have a TV with a FIOS converter box in the kitchen and just a TV in your bedroom (without a FIOS converter box.) When you retire to your bedroom you'd like to watch FIOS TV from there (assumption: no one else is watching the Kitchen TV.) To make this happen, you'll need 2 things: 1) a coax cable run from the "coax out" terminal of the FIOS converter box to the bedroom TV's coax IN terminal, and 2) the Monster 300 Remote system. You'll then program the Monster 300 for 2 "Channels", namely the Kitchen and the Bedroom, specifiying the FIOS converter box and the TV's brand & model number for the Kitchen, and the TV's brand & model number for the Bedroom. Place the included Monster wireless RF-to-IR bridge on top or near the FIOS converter box, and attach the included Monster IR blaster to the transparent plastic face cover of your FIOS box.
You can then use the Monster 300 Remote when in the kitchen (in place of the FIOS Remote), or if you prefer, you can continue to use the FIOS Remote in the kitchen. From you bedroom you'll use the Monster 300 Remote to wirelessly control the Kitchen FIOS converter box (by simply selecting the "Bedroom" channel.)
The Monster remote is less expensive than the comparable Logitech 890 Remote (because with Monster, you get the RF Receiver FREE!)
