15th May 2003, 9:58pm
Tired of searching under the bed, between the sofa cushions, under the television and in the next room in the unending quest for the correct remote control?

Nyko Technologies™, a leading manufacturer of innovative gaming peripherals, lets gamers save all that energy for actual gameplay with the introduction of the Remote Free universal DVD remote adaptor for the Sony Playstation® 2 gaming console. The adaptor allows anyone with a DVD player full use of the Playstation 2's DVD functions by utilizing their existing DVD remote control.

"The average consumer today has at least three remote controls per household to control various electronic devices, from televisions to DVD players and now gaming consoles," said Susan Corben, director of marketing, Nyko Technologies. "In an effort to alleviate the frustration that comes along with searching for the correct remote, we developed a remote control adapter for the Sony Playstation® 2 that is fully compatible with the leading manufacturer's DVD players, allowing for convenience while eliminating the need for another remote control."

Nyko's Remote Free universal DVD remote adaptor plugs directly into the controller port on the Playstation 2 console. The remote is ready to use by simply matching the code on the dip switches of the adaptor to the code of the manufacturer of the existing DVD remote control. The adaptor is compatible with more than twenty-five popular universal DVD remote controls, including RCA, Toshiba, Zenith, Pioneer, Panasonic, Sharp, Sony and more.

Nyko's Remote Free universal DVD remote adaptor for the Sony PlayStation® 2 is priced for convenience (MSRP $7.99) and is available in June.
