The Winners! Drum roll, please! Remote Central and AVSMARTS.COM are pleased to announce the following randomly selected winners:

$100! Our grand prize this month can't be described in terms of a mere brand or model - that's because it could be almost anything! That's right, this time we've got a $300 gift certificate, good towards absolutely anything available at AVSmarts.com. Finally, you can pick your own prize! (WINNER: B. R. from Texas, USA!)

Home Theater Master MX-600 Universal Remote Control Inc.'s $249 Home Theater Master MX-600 is an enhanced version of one of the most popular hard buttoned remote controls ever! The MX-600 features an LCD screen that can display up to two pages of customizable labels for 10 hard buttons, for each of 10 devices. And each device can have up to 53 functions! It also features a 5-way menu joystick, built-in code library, full learning on every key, plenty of macros, a favorite channel section, great backlighting and, new to the MX-600, a bundled RF receiver that allows you to use the remote through walls and other obstructions. Sound interesting? Check out our review of the nearly identical MX-500 model for all the exciting details, or visit the forum to talk with others. (WINNER: C. B. from Ontario, Canada!)

Philips ProntoNEO TSU500 The $199 Philips ProntoNEO TSU500 graphical LCD touchscreen remote control is an economical and easy-to-use version of the original Pronto.

For more information, check out the message forum or browse around downloadable files. (WINNER: C. M. from Texas, USA!)

Harman/Kardon DAL-150 Feel like hooking your computer up to your home theater receiver? Then you'll want to look at Harman/Kardon's $149 DAL-150 digital audio transcoder and USB-to-S/P-DIF interface. Put into plain English, the DAL-150 bridges the chasm between your PC and audio system. It takes MP3 audio files from your Windows PC and converts them into standard PCM format, sending it over a digital coaxial cable to your receiver, which can then process it into glorious digital sound. The DAL-150 can also pass on the original MP3 bitstream to devices with built-in MP3 processing - such as the Harman/Kardon receiver above! (WINNER: R. C. from New York, USA!)
