Remote control, through the whole house

Dominating Entertainment.
Revox of Switzerland.

Versatile

Above all, a remote control should offer you one
thing - ease and comfor t of operation.
The Re :control M208 doesn‘t ask you any
riddles. It leads you int uitively to where you
want to get to.
With it, you can control all Revox products,
including the Re :source M37 audio server, with
ease. Intuitive and logical. The pres s of a single
button is all it takes to access most sources.
Exceptional: the Re:control M208 doesn‘t just
trans fer simple infor mation to the Multiroom
System. You can also use the display, for examp­le, to search your server by titles and artists or
to select your favourite radio station.
Wherever you happen to be.Amazingly
comfortable: Just by docking your Re:control
M208 briefl y with the Re:system M51 tuner,
new settings, e.g. a new radio station are learnt
by the Re:control M208 and are immediately
available for sele ction through the display.
In the same way, the Re:s ource M37 audio
server music archive can be synchronised with
the Re:control M208, so that you can select
each available artist simply through the display.

Flexible

The Re : control M207 remote handset of fers
easy and intuitive control combined with a
maximum of fl exibility. Thanks to the new,
ergonomically designed buttons, the most
important and most frequently used functions
are controlled through the fi xed buttons,
without even having to look at them.
Using the Touchscr een Display, you can adjust
this innovative remote control quickly to all the
devices in the house that you want to operate
with infrared. At each level, you will fi nd an
individual, clear display that can be modifi ed to
suit your own personal requirements.
The Re :control M 207 can be individually
progr ammed, offers a wealth of setup options
and max imum comfort levels. And there are
practically no limits to the fl exibility of the
Re:control M207.
Energy-effi cient As this remote control only
switches itself on when it is in your hand, the
batteries are only used when you are actually
using the unit.

Integrated

Consider the following scenario. You have a net­worked Multiroom System covering several
rooms in your apartment or house. Isn’t it annoy­ing when your mobile remote control is in the
lounge and you are r elaxing in the bath and
would just love to hear your all time favourite
song again! Be annoyed no more.
With t he Re: control M217 / M218 you have a
direct link to your equipment from ever y room in
the house. The small remote con trols are there
and thanks to their individual design, they are no
more obtrusive than a light switch. A nd just
about as easy to operate.

The illuminated display on t he Re:control M217
shows all the important information such as the
selected source, the radio station or the title.
But the wall-mounted remote control panels can
do even more: They also receive signals from
your mobile remote control, giving you unlimited
functions with your Revox Multiroom System
from every r oom in the house.

The pictures show the operating units in Feller
and Gira designs. The colours and t he frames
can be selected to meet your individual require­ments, based on the range offered by the ma­nufacturers.

Networked

The Re :control M230 and M231 soft ware is the
logical extension of a remote control: You can
operate your equipment directly from your desk.
You don’t need any additional equipment. Just
use your computer, your notebook or your PDA –
even a WLAN netw ork if required. All the
information from your system is transmit ted in
realtime to your screen, wherever you are. The
Re:system M51 can be mirror ed exactly through
the Re:control soft ware, so that you simply
replicate the operating procedures that you are
comfortable with.

Re:connect M208

The Re :control M 208 gives you acces s to a vir tually unlimited number of sources,
including the Re :source M3 7 audio server. The most important sources such as
tuner, CD/DVD and ser ver can be selected through buttons on your remote control.
Other sources can be addressed through the display.
If the Re:control M208 is loaded onto the M51 using the M51 Link cable, the M51
tuner is s ynchronised at the same time. After that, all radio stations can be c alled
up through the M208 display, with their RDS station names.
The M2 08 switche s off automatically after a defi ned timeout, in order to conserve
energ y. It switches itself b ack on again automatically as soon as it is moved, thanks
to the integrated mo vemen t sensor.
You can synchronise the radio station names as well as the content s of the Revox
audio server with the Re:control M208.
A suitable cable is available t o conne ct the R e:s ystem M51 to the remote contr ol.
As well as c arrying out a synchronisation, the remote control is also directly loaded
from the M51 though this cable.
As with all Revox products, the softwar e on the Re:control M208 is easy to update,
allowing you to integrate functional extensions without any problem.
The sy nchronisation connection for the Re:s ystem M51 and a memory c ard, which
stores the contents of the t uner and the ser ver are both conveniently located
behind a protective cover.

Re:connect M207

You can control up to 64 devices with the infrared oper ation of the Re :control
M207.
An individually customisable user interface is available to you for each device,
through the Touchscreen display. The user in terface for many devices are already
integrated. If required, you modif y these to suit your own requirements and you
can also add additional ones. The required device can be localised very quickly by
through a simple database sear ch.
You can car ry out these modifi cations and extensions to the user interface through
your PC, using special software that can be downloaded fr ee of charge from the
Revox website. Re-label or re -design the buttons. Structure the macro and timer
functions using the same logic as operating procedures.
The integrated brightne ss sensor only s witches the b ackground lighting on as
required. And the movement sensor simplifi es operation by switching the M207 on
automatically each time it is moved.
As well as the pre-programming for the M51 Multiroom System, Revox also offers
versions for older Revox products such as the B 200 series, the H series, Evolution,
Emotion, Exception and Elegance.

In order to be able to access the Revox Multiroom System using the Re:control
M231 soft ware, certain other hardware is needed as well as a PDA with
Windows CE 20 03 Operating system. The basis is the Re: system M51 source
