1A. IntelliControl Features and Benefits
Introducing the IntelliControl, the world’s first affordable home theater automation system
expressly designed to provide true one-touch operation. Unlike universal remote controls,
the IntelliControl System senses the actual on/off state of all of your audio/video
components. When you press a Master Key, the built-in microprocessor has the
intelligence to decide which components need to be powered up, depending on what
Master Key was selected and the On/Off state of the components.
After the system components have been turned on, the IntelliControl issues all of the
necessary surround-sound mode commands, the preamp input selection commands, the
TV input commands, and any “play” or “favorite station” commands. For the first time,
most anyone in the family can operate the system without training, prompting or head-
scratching.
Ten Master Keys can be custom labeled to reflect your system components or features.
When you select a source, it lights up letting you know it’s ready to be controlled.
Traditional universal remotes are confusing because “aux” might actually select the
satellite receiver, and “VCR2” selects the TV. Now, each of the sources in your system
are correctly labeled. By pressing one of these Master “scene-setting” Keys, your system
is completely turned on, configured, and set up to watch and control the selected source.
The only other systems capable of this unique combination of custom labeling and full
automation of a mixture of multi-brand components are very expensive touchscreen
automation systems. In addition to the expense, touchscreens are menu-driven, and
always require more than one step to operate. The IntelliControl offers genuine one-
touch operation at an affordable price.
A Complete System
The system consists of an ergonomically designed RF (radio frequency) Tabletop Remote
Control and an “intelligent” Main System Unit (MSU). Powerful combinations of hardware
and software functions within the Main System Unit manage and control every aspect of
the home theater.
