Essential Info

You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on an LCD touchscreen remote to get buttons that change according to the device you're using. The Kameleon 8-in-1 Remote also offers a sleek, screen-changing feature, but at a fraction of the price of its LCD counterparts. With its electro-luminescent touch display panel, the Kameleon 8-in-1 Remote only illuminates the set of keys needed to control each device. The result: Unparalleled ease of use and superior home theater control. The Kameleon is powered by four AAA batteries, sold separately.

  • More Info


    Able to control up to 8 home entertainment devices, the Kameleon 8-in-1 Remote intelligently changes its display to adapt to any device, whether you're listening to the stereo, using the DVD player or simply watching TV. The Kameleon 8-in-1 Remote also offers control of such expanded home theater features as picture-in-picture (PIP) and personal/digital video recording (PVR/DVR) playback for all popular brands including TiVo and ReplayTV, and provides unparalleled control of set-top boxes integrated with these features.

    The Kameleon's "intelligent" illumination enables all these functions without adding key clutter to the remote, keeping it intuitive and easy to use. To deliver an unmatched out-of-the-box experience, the maker of the Kameleon created a remarkably simple setup process and a graphical menu-driven setup screen for fast and easy configuration.

    In addition to its dynamic, graphical display, the Kameleon 8-in-1 Remote is loaded with advanced technology, including powerful home theater software for comprehensive code coverage of virtually any brand of consumer electronics device, upgradeability to provide ongoing coverage of new devices entering the market, macro capability for one-touch activation of multiple steps, and a learning mode to capture and reproduce device functions from original remote controls. (Learning capacity is approximately 16 to 25 keys, depending on the code being learned.) The Kameleon's unique built-in home theater feature intelligently aggregates all the commands needed to control the various devices in a home theater system, so the user can effortlessly control each integrated component from one unified screen.

    Kameleon's vibrant backlighting provides a stunning display for optimal viewing. Combined with an elegant, slim-profile, ergonomic design and a power-conscious tilt-switch for automatic wake-up, the Kameleon blends advanced functionality and modern design in a unique product that enhances the entertainment experience. Yet it provides an unmatched value compared with LCD touchscreens that cost more than twice as much.

    The Kameleon 8-in-1 Remote is pre-programmed with the IR codes to control the X10 IR Command Console (sold separately). Just place the X10 IR Command Console next to your TV or A/V gear, and you'll not only be able to control your home entertainment system, you'll also be able to turn lights on or off, open or close automated drapes, even adjust the temperature on your X10 thermostat! The remote controls X10 devices on codes 1-10 with all six primary X10 commands (ON, OFF, BRIGHTEN, DIM, ALL LIGHTS ON and ALL UNITS OFF).

    This product is awesome. It has virtually eliminated 4 remote controls. Once in awhile I do have to use the original TV remote as this remote doesn't have some of the buttons. But that is okay with me since I don't have to use the other three at all.
    PAUL -- wheatland, CA   3/26/2007
    Works great, easy setup, I recommend turning off the vibrate function, unless you own stock in energizer.
    PHILLIP -- new york, NY   2/9/2007
    Great Device, so easy to configure.
    DAVID -- sharpsburg, MD   1/19/2006
    This was for my personal use. Great remote. it is so nice not having to fumble around with 6 different remotes to watch the TV. I would recommend this product to anyone.
    BRENT -- chattanooga, TN   1/10/2006

    FRANK -- queensville, ON   4/7/2005
    A fascinating little toy that I'm still learning to use.
    JEFFREY -- noblesville, IN   1/24/2005
    The device works very well. It unfortunately goes thru batteries at a rapid pace. Customer Service from Mfr. was good and very responsive.
    TIM -- pasadena, CA   9/14/2004
    Very sensitive to any movement. I have already had to change the batteries.
    M. LEE -- nashville, TN   9/14/2004
    I LOVE THIS REMOTE!!!! It works everything I have, including my D-Link DSM-320 MediaLounge.
    DENNIS -- shelbyville, IN   8/13/2004
    All I can say is it is the only universial remote that I have tried that really wors. My wife has already stored away the 4 remotes that the kameleon has replaced.
    PAUL -- holbrook, NY   5/18/2004
    I gave this remote to my friend as a gift and he went nuts--he loves it. The remote is really nice, it's sturdy, and it's comfortable to hold. It has a long list of features that makes setting various components of a home theatre system as easy as just clicking 1 button! Very happy with this purchase.
    SHEHBAZ -- burnage, XX   3/26/2004
    they were perfect for me and i was very impressed with the packaging and shipping time.
    JOHN -- avon park, FL   2/26/2004
    Remote is nice looking and has nice features. One draw back is that some of the common buttons are a little to small, wish they were larger in size other than that remote is just fine. John......Sebring,FL
    YONG PENG -- singapore, XX   1/6/2004

    ROBERT -- salem, OR   12/6/2003
    The first remote my wife can manage! She loves being able to control all our components!
