Music outside on the Patio is easy now. We used to have to go inside to change anything. Now, we can choose a song we like or change the volume by simply picking up the Patio remote control. I love having all the ugly electronics hidden away in cabinets. I was tired of looking at equipment every day and I hated when my friends commented about all of the piles of gear in my house. Now my home looks exactly the way I want. I can use the system anywhere without opening cabinet doors or pointing remotes. It was easy to feel at a loss each time we visited the kids. We could never use the TV or Stereo System. Now it s different. No matter what room we re in, the custom remotes always work for us. You can just push one button, and you don t have to point the remote at anything. We are building a new house, when we are finished we want our family to enjoy every bit of it. Home entertainment will be a big part of that. Remotes that can work anywhere inside and out are important to us. In the past we needed to walk around the house to turn things off. Now one touch to a remote turns off every piece of electronics in our home, even the kids TV s.we love the security of knowing that everything is turned off.
