General Description and Features The System Remote Control (model # RCZ-SRC1-B) is intended for use in a Control4® system. It is included with the purchase of a home controller, but may also be purchased separately. It is used to access on-screen menus and to control associated devices. This device goes beyond a typical “universal remote” that simply learns IR codes from TVs, VCRs, CD players and DVD players; This remote control uses standardized ZigBee mesh networking for two-way wireless communication.
