Universal Remote Control, Inc. announced that its next-gen MX-980 Remote Control will be showcased at the upcoming CEDIA EXPO’07 commencing Sept.6 in Denver, Colorado. This intelligent A/V controller will be available in September from authorized Universal Remote Control dealers at a suggested retail price of $599.

The MX-980 is a boon for those who have one or more complex A/V systems. It is a wand-style custom control designed to encourage the state of the art of Home Theater programming and integration. Users can now more quickly and efficiently customize and automate sophisticated Home Theaters and whole house A/V systems.

Among its multiple features, its bright color active matrix LCD that offers a 320×240 pixel is worth mentioning. The display features an open programming architecture, Narrow Band RF capability, and seamless integration with other control devices.

The remote is also equipped with a motion sensor that automatically turns on the display when the user picks up the remote and refreshes when it’s moved. An automatic blue backlighting for all the buttons ensures that the remote can be used easily in dim or darkened rooms.
