It would have been nice if the remote was bluetooth but this obviously present both a pricing and battery eating problem for the remote.

As there are some limitations of the placement of the box because of the line of sight issue of the IR remote, there wasn’t much of a difference with this IR device than any other on the market today. The IR remote that came included with the kit worked flawlessly. Not only can the display show text, but it can also act as a visualizer when playing music. I was able to set it to display the time in a rather large font and am able to read it from a pretty far distance. One feature that makes this graphical VFD so unique is that it can display in a variety of fonts as well as sizes. Located on the left side is the graphical VFD, which is capable of displaying anything from text to simple images. Located on the right side of the front panel are the controls that are used by the media lab kit, these controls are those like: play/pause, stop, forward, backward, volume control, etc. The Kit, made by SoundGraph initially released the iMON Ultra Bay, which places this media device into two of your front 5.25″ drive bays. The Media Lab Kit was actually not designed specifically for the Thermaltake DH-202case but was integrated into it flawlessly. With the availability to complete control your computer using just a remote control, with the control of your computer at your fingertips. The Media Lab Kit is the heart of the system, as it offers everything that you would want in a Home Theater PC.
