If your living room coffee table is cluttered with remote controls, you may want to consider purchasing a learning remote -- that is, a single remote that can replace a whole tableful of remotes and control your entire A/V system (even certain lighting dimmers like Lutron’s).
Many learning remotes can be complicated and intimidating even to a techie, but Marantz, Philips, and RCA, all offer excellent learning remotes that are easy to program and a delight to use. And worth every penny once you get your uncluttered coffee table back.
