The RF-10 is a universal and learning remote control that sends IR (infrared) and RF (radio frequency) commands to all home theater A/V equipment. With its unique capability to send both IR and RF signals, the RF-10 can operate "out-of-sight" A/V components through walls, doors and cabinets when connected to the optional MRF-100 RF receiver. The RF-10 can replace up to 8 different remote controls and operates components that are located in cabinets, in different rooms or floors, both indoors and outdoors. Macro programming enables consumers to take advantage of one-touch operation. The RF-10 is equipped with batteries and a Quick Setup DVD tutorial.
