Denon launches programmable RC-7000CI remote
Right on cue, Denon has gone and launched the oh-so-snazzy RC-7000CI remote, which we had the pleasure of seeing a tad early thanks to the FCC. The fully programmable, ZigBee-based remote allows for universal command and control of all Denon remote controlled products "as well as products from other manufacturers," and those with internet access (that'd be you, hot shot) can simply connect the remote to a PC via USB and "program the functionality of all the products in their system" care of the online IR database. Paired up with one or two RC-7001RCI RF/IR Remote Bases (pictured after the jump), the duo creates a multi-room remote control system that allows for "both two-way communication and IR functionality." As with everything labeled Denon, don't expect either of these August-bound niceties to come sans a premium, as you'll be asked to cough up $299.99 for the remote itself, while each base station adds another $199.99.[Via TrustedReviews]
Denon's LCD-packin' RC-7000CI remote hits the FCC
Universal Remote's MX-810 sure was nice, but now it's got a bit of competition coming its way care of the forthcoming Denon RC-7000CI. This stylish RF remote comes pre-programmed to play nice with a plethora of Denon components right out of the box, and the built-in LCD screen should make setting up your non-Denon hardware a lesson in simplicity (more or less). Additionally, the device looks to support multizone control and network control when used with the optional RC-7000RCI node. As you'd expect, the FCC isn't dropping any hints as to how much this beauty will cost nor when we can hope to see it land, but it's practically a foregone conclusion that the brand name alone here will demand a pretty penny. Check out a few more glances after the jump.
