The unit comes with a wireless remote control and remote sensor which is very cool. You can set the sensor anywhere on your desk and operate the controls from anywhere in the room. The sensor has three green LED’s which indicate the three possible input sources, and a red LED which flashes with any incoming signals from the remote. The remote itself is nice, you can control a host of features including volume, bass, treble, w00x, fade levels and input source. The downside to this is the remote is the only place where the controls are located, so if your dog eats your remote, or if the batteries go dead, then you could be up a creek.
