A key feature of the
two-way communication technology in these new remotes will be the ability for
users to remotely view metadata information transmitted from Denon receivers.
This enabling technology will allow song titles, artists and station information
to be browsed on the LCD screen of the remote control from anywhere in the home
within range of the A/V receiver's RF signal.

The Denon remote will
incorporate many of UEI's patented features such as built-in IR learning,
user-defined activity and favorite channel macros, a PC editor and new advanced
