Chapter 1. Welcome 

Congratulations on your purchase of the 

TheaterTouch 

universal system controller. 

The 

TheaterTouch

 combines the power and flexibility of a graphic LCD touchscreen 

with an ergonomic design that permits effortless one-handed operation. This design 
overcomes the need for compromise between form and function. Sleek and perfectly 
balanced, the 

TheaterTouch 

is infinitely flexible and expandable. 

TheaterTouch 

takes complete control of the home theater, replacing all other remotes. 

It features an intuitive, easy to read LCD that can display custom buttons, text, 
graphics and symbols. In addition to the backlit display, 25 “Hard” keypad buttons 
allow easy access to frequently used functions. 

Programming is easy and convenient thanks to the built-in infrared learning ability 
and the Windows® based software. 

TheaterTouch 

is capable of both infrared and 

radio frequency output. A separate RF to IR converter is available for transmission 
through walls and cabinets. The converter will also monitor the power status of most 
A/V equipment thru the use of voltage and video sensors. 

 

NOTE 

The 

TheaterTouch 

and 

TheaterTouch Designer 

software are compatible with infrared 

(IR) commands with carrier frequencies between 15kHz and 460kHz, as well as those 
commands that do not use a carrier. This covers the vast majority of remotes 
available to date, including Bang & Olufsen® (most of which use 455kHz) and 
Vidikron® (some of which use 333kHz). 

Despite every effort to make the 

TheaterTouch 

universal system controller work with 

all IR-systems, some IR-controlled products are unable to be learned by the 

TheaterTouch

 due to incompatible frequencies or non-standard IR formats. The 

TheaterTouch 

cannot learn non-IR formats such as RF and ultrasonic. 

 

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION 

After unpacking your new 

TheaterTouch 

universal system controller, save all of the 

packing materials in case you ever have to ship the unit. 

Thoroughly inspect the 

TheaterTouch 

and packing materials for signs of damage. 

Report any damage to the carrier immediately. Report any equipment malfunctions 
to Remote Technologies Incorporated or an authorized Remote Technologies 
Incorporated dealer. 

 

IMPORTANT 

After unpacking your new 

TheaterTouch 

universal system controller for the first time, 

charge each battery pack for at least 12 hours.
