My question is this: I want to be able to control this system with a remote control. Which remote control and how do I make this happen? Thanks in advance for your assistance and feedback.


I use both of these remotes:

This remote is paired with this keyboard:

The other remote control I have is:

http://www.amazon.com/Pinnacle-Rem [...] 53&sr=8-22

Both work equally well.
