Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Sometimes less is more. Let’s face it, no matter what the device there’s seemingly a remote for it. And with today’s advanced home theater systems, operating any one of them can be frustrating. The Acoustic Research Universal Smart Remote makes controlling it all simple. By doing most of the work for you. It automatically detects device codes, so programming it to work with your TV, DVD player or stereo receiver is a breeze. It provides easy, one-touch commands like Turn on Bedroom DVR or Watch Den Satellite, so switching between components takes seconds. Plus, with built-in WiFi capability, it even gives you instant access to news, weathers, sports and program guides through Click365 services. All on a 2.2" full-color LCD screen. Home entertainment will never be the same.
Easiest to Set Up: No need to connect remote to your computer or access a web wizard. The Universal Smart Remote walks you through setup…wirelessly. All you need to know is the brand of each device you want to set up. And there’s a Help button with tips to get the most from your home theater systems.
Easy to Use: Familiar user-friendly remote functionality with point-and-select menus for one-button commands. Switching between components takes seconds. Programming one-touch activities like "Watch TV" or "Watch DVD" couldn’t be easier.
Program Guides…On the Remote: Your own personal guide to what’s on. The Universal Smart Remote’s LCD screen shows you schedules for all your program providers—you can even set up favorite channels and shows for each member of your family.
News, Weather and Sports, Just a Click Away: Press the remote’s click365 button and voila… click365 services beams the latest news, weather and sports info to your Universal Smart Remote’s LCD screen via your internet connection and WiFi network.

1.0 out of 5 stars reliability a major issue, December 8, 2008
By Peter W. Broido (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have now had 3 ARRU449 remotes. I do not use them as hockey pucks. They simply work for awhile and then fail. Trying to get them replaced is equal to the reliability of the unit. Both are losers!
In defense of the unit, set up is a breeze and when it works it is wonderful. In addition it allows you to access the internet for the TV programs in your area. Would I get another one - well hopefully Acoustic Research will send one but otherwise no way. I would look for a unit with better reliability

5.0 out of 5 stars Logitech Harmony 880 was the best remote until now., December 17, 2007
This is the next gen of TV remote controls.
The pros; its user friendly,lots of extras,hard buttons controls and no PC needed.
The cons; None at this time

I will give you example why I call this remote the next generation of remote controls. The Acoustic Research Smart Remote Control is Internet remote control without a PC. I have two TVs a Dell and an a Samsung.An I also have Two Directv Tivo receiver and a Tivo Series 3 HD receiver.I have all these items in the same room. I was using three different remotes for years.In less than 20 minutes I am using one remote now and I have a Tv guide for Comcast and Directv on my remote.The best part I can switch between remotes with one button on one remote. This remote has a news page,sports page,weather page and even has a page were its sells Amazon products. This remote hasn't even touch its potential.Its a steal on Amazon for under $250.00.Its a Buy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good remote, June 19, 2008
This is a good remote. Because of the wireless feature you can see the channel guide on it's screen. Easy to set up. Only flaw is that this is a rechargeable remote and if it dies you have to reset the thing. Not a big hassle but something you have to be aware of.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Very disappointing. Out of the box, the control could not handle 1) my cable box, 2) my audio processor, 3) my Blue Ray Disk player. Honestly, a complete waste of money for me.
