For questions about your Custom Programming call:
Custom Programming of a complex home theater and/or a multi-room
system is one of the most challenging tasks within an audio/video
installation. It involves an intimate knowledge of how the components
interact and exact details on the proper sequences of control.
Only a Total Control dealer has the requisite experience and training
to quickly and effectively customize a remote control for true
automated operation.
Congratulations on your choice!
