The main difference being, if you listen to something, we typically don’t turn on the TV. This means, on the remotes we work with, most notably the Control 4 SR260 and Control 4 OS3 app, when you want to “watch” something you press the “Watch” button and when you want to “listen” to something, you press the “Listen” button. Oh, yeah, we subscribe to the Watch and Listen nomenclature. What’s great is that, regardless of the brand of equipment used, we can mix and match so that when you press the WATCH ROKU button, everything happens behind the scenes in a “macro” (more on that word next time), and you get to watch and hear your Roku player. This makes your experience consistent and reliable. We are back to our old friend, the “discrete code.” The products we recommend and use, all have codes for EACH INDIVIDUAL INPUT so that we can access them quickly, directly, and consistently EVERY TIME.

#Remote code for prizmo tv tv
Whether you have a television or an audio video receiver (AVR), being able to access Input 1 versus Input 4 (or TV / Sat versus Blu-Ray, for example on an AVR) is critical so everything works smoothly. Much like we said in the last blog post regarding the importance of having a true POWER ON and POWER OFF command, having direct access to EACH input is what’s important.

Some call it a “Source” button, some “TV/Video” and still others “Input.” Regardless, what this means is the ability to switch from one source of content to another. To further complicate matters, there are three words used by manufacturers to make this happen. Let’s say you are watching your Spectrum cable box and you want to switch to Apple TV (or Roku, a Sony Blu-Ray player, an Amazon Firestick, or any other source you can think of). The second biggest PITA (pain in the -_- (you know)), is changing from one source to another. We said that, if not designed correctly in a system that incorporates equipment that is new enough to have “discrete” codes, telling the remote if the TV, or any other piece of equipment, is on or off, for example, could create a big problem. Switching Remote Sources Demystified! Last time we talked about why remotes seem to be so difficult.
