Does the remote control work using radio frequency, infrared or HDMI? 

Radio frequency is only used to operate the Mediabox Next with the associated remote control. The main benefit of this is that the remote control does not need to be pointed at the Mediabox. You can even place the Mediabox in a closed cabinet and still be able to operate it! Operation of external devices such as your television or sound system takes place using infrared, or indirectly using the HDMI cable from the Mediabox. This works through HDMI-CEC.


 


You can then programme the remote control you want to use by selecting IR Learning on your soundbar’s display. You will be guided through the process in a few easy steps, and the remote control will be ready to use. 


* Under Picture and Sound you also have the option of configuring one button for powering all of your devices on and off, depending on your preference.
