Audio & Video Accessories

A remote control is an essential device, whether you need to control an integrated home system or a home theater. With twenty years of experience designing and installing high quality products, I’ve seen just about every remote on the market. I know which ones excel and which ones fail. And my picks for the Best of the Best are sure-fire winners for anyone who wants all the bells and whistles.

For the top of the line, go for Creston’s TPMC-8X or STX-1700CXP. The TMP-C-8X is perfect if you want access to a Windows environment so you can pull up MS Word files, Internet Explorer, and your email. STX-1700CXP’s SmarTouch panel gives you control over multiple systems. Both models are compact, lightweight, and easy to handle.

The AMX MVP-8400 offers amazing G4 graphics and wireless multimedia, not to mention great accessories that anyone can appreciate. Professionals will love MX-3000 for its streamlined features that allow for easier and faster installation. And speaking of streamline… the Logitech Harmony 1000 handles the job of fifteen different remotes in a single device. In this case, less is definitely best.
