INTRODUCTION

The Niles iC2 Home Theater Automation and Control System addresses an essential need of today’s consumers—the ability to easily control and manage the assortment of entertainment sources found in the home theater environment.

Home entertainment systems should be fun, not frustrating, and Niles has always recognized the need for simple-to-use, cost-effective solutions. We also recognize that features and technologies change over time, and more so than ever, these changing technologies require advanced automation, as well as an easy-to-use remote control.

The iC2 System consists of two main components: the iC2 Remote and the Home Theater Main System Unit (HT-MSU). The iC2 Remote incorporates large buttons and a logical layout of function keys that reflect today’s popular and menu-driven sources so anyone in the family can operate complex systems. And, unlike traditional remote controls, the iC2 Remote does not require users to point the remote at the products to be controlled.

The HT-MSU, or the “brains” of the iC2 System, stores the complete system profile (i.e., television, surround receiver, cable boxes, satellite receiver, DVD, etc.). In addition, the HT-MSU can automate functions like lighting control, TV lifts, draperies, projection screens, and more.

The Niles iC2 System gives end users one-touch control of their home theater system and reflects the high quality fit and finish that meets the standards

of today’s consumers.

Niles is one of the industry’s most respected manufacturers of custom installation audio/video components and accessories. To see the complete line of Niles products, visit us on the Internet at: www.nilesaudio.com.
