Now here it is – our biggest contest ever, sponsored by AVsmarts.com. For October we’ve got seven prizes totaling almost $2000! You could win an RTI TheaterTouch T2 remote control, a One For All Director (Mosaic) remote control, a Henry Kloss Model 88 tabletop radio, a VTech cordless phone, a Sony RM-AV2100 remote control, a Cambridge M500 remote control or a Crisp Solutions UCommand 515 remote control. Whew, that’s a real mouthful – and since I know you’d love to win, enter today!

Sony shirts: Although I had previously announced the Sony RM-AV2100/Remote Central golf shirt giveaway as completed, Sony has informed me that they still have a few shirts in smaller sizes. So, if you own the RM-AV2100 remote control and would like to have one, visit this message forum thread and follow the directions in the first message. Be sure to check the end of the thread to ensure that there are still some left as of the time you read this. Remember, in order to claim a shirt you must prove that you own a Sony RM-AV2100!
