Remote Control Programming

Remote Control Programming

Eliminate the clutter and confusion of multiple remotes by integrating all of them into one programmable remote control with automated functions from URC, Savant, or Pro Control.

Our remote control programmers will ensure the remote is programmed using the right computer codes supplied by manufacturers, integrated with a radio frequency module that can control integrated A/V components through walls, cabinet doors, or even from outside.

Multimedia Tech programs smart remotes to integrate smart TVs, AV receivers, projectors, Bluray Players, Apple TVs, Google Chromes, amplifiers, and all devices that require remote control programming.

Selecting a new remote control can be very challenging since good remotes require a computer, computer software, certification, and the right experience to create the right automated steps with one-touch simplicity. Start your project the right way contact Multimedia Tech to take care of the rest.

We believe the mix of audiovisual technologies, the right tools, guidance, and on-site training is the best way to reach perfection and knowledge to provide the best service for you.

3Can a remote be programmed for any room?

Yes! our programmers can custom program a remote in any kind of room.

Does not matter if the devices never were controlled with a smart remote will create all the necessary automate logic if necessary.

4How long does it take?

After over a decade of experience programming remotes for all types of AV systems, we have concluded that a basic remote control programming may take approximately 2-4 hours to complete while more complex custom installations where other more advanced devices are present can take days.

Note that there are unique situations where the time it takes to finish programming the remote can be a little longer. Such as, installing in a room that is not prewired or when we have to remove your discontinued smart remote equipment.

However, you can expect a more complicated installation to take around 1-2 weeks to finish.

5How much does it cost?

Our price starts at around $199 for programming a remote control.

The following are additional factors that can influence quoting you a different price:

• Type of remote.

• Cable concealment.

• Type of RF/IR base.

• Number of sources.

• The number of devices.

• The number of functionalities.

• The number of buttons.

• Difficulty level.

• Amount of time taken to fulfill your request.

7Will the cables show?

Most smart remote controls come with RF/IR modules. Those modules manage connectivity, communication, and the IR sensors. IR sensors are hardwired to all the necessary devices.

Our entry-level services do not include in-wall wiring or cable concealment of any type. However, we can still fish the cabling for a clean look for an additional charge.

You can choose several options to conceal the cables inside the wall.

8Do you follow building codes?
Do you follow building codes?

Our installers are very familiar with OSHA, NEC, and building codes.

Just remember, in Texas, the National Electric Code does not allow high-voltage power cords installed behind walls. But, low-voltage wires like HDMI and audio-video cables are generally acceptable.

However, if you still need a power outlet for your residential equipment. Then, we can install a power relocation kit that allows us to install 110V power plugs and also provides the flexibility to retrofit the low-voltage cables in the wall for a clean look that is up to code.

Multimedia Tech is insured for all the work performed.

Our business insurance policy is currently set at $1,000,000.

10What is the warranty?

We provide a limited lifetime warranty on labor and a limited manufacturer’s warranty on remote controls.

11How do I prepare for the installation?

Be ready for your appointment by making sure all the electronic equipment you already have (e.g., televisions, AV receiver, speakers) is available for the technician at the time of the installation.

Make sure all the low and high-voltage outlets are accessible, or you know where you want them installed.

Someone 18 years or older will be present for the duration of the installation.

If any, make sure furniture, decor, and anything fragile is at least five to ten feet away from the wall or working area.
