Take charge of up to 18 devices with Sony's New RM-AV3000 Universal Remote Commander. Updated codes and the latest in learning functionality place the command of virtually all major brands of A/V and infrared accessible non A/V equipment at your fingertips. The large touch-key LCD screen enables you to create labels for keys in the dot-matrix area, and a single keystroke can be programmed to initiate a series of up to 32 consecutive operations. Also featuring a Clock and Timer function that automatically turns components on and off, this powerful tool redefines the concept of being in control.
The silver, uncluttered RM-AV3000 has a luxurious look. Dominating the face is a large 4-by-2-inch touch-screen LCD. Below it are 7 keys providing direct access to the devices of your choice, such as a TV, a DVD player, and a receiver. On the unit's lower half are 15 familiar controls common to every standard remote. They include a five-way menu navigator, as well as buttons for adjusting and muting the volume, selecting and recalling a channel, and turning on the Commander.
Most of the Commander's performance problems are ergonomic. We'd love to see a follow-up that offers one-handed operation and a more legible LCD. The programming could be simpler, too. Until a new version comes along, the RM-AV3000 is best suited to users who need to control a lot of devices and aren't intimidated by advanced programming methods.
