Marantz's RC9001 Touchscreen Remote With WiFi Extender
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "HARDWARE" @ 02:00 PM
"We saw a variation of this Philips TSU9600 at CES. Still, it's nice to see Marantz get official with their own VGA touchscreen remote: the TC9001. Like Philips' model, we expect this Marantz model to integrate with Escient Fireball media servers and Lutron RadioRa lighting controls for full multi-room control."
Now this is not your father's remote. Of course, your father probably wouldn't have spent $1000 on a remote control either, not to mention the cost of the Escient Fireball media server and lighting systems you'll need to go with it. This is clearly aimed at well-heeled home theater geeks and system installers. I'll stick with my $40 universal remote, thankyouverymuch.
