What it does
MC14 introduced the ability to control other devices by using a transceiver and cables called emitters. This feature lets you use the MCE remote to turn on the power to your TV, consumer electronics amplifier, or set top box, for example, or to adjust the volume on your amp. Anything you can do with any other IR remote for your home audio setup can be done with Remote Relay.
