Hands-free universal remote works with your voice commands right out of the box, responds to any language or accent, and also functions as a traditional push button control.
So easy to use, you don't even need a manual or code book! Just press the “HELP” button and a friendly voice walks you through the setup process. Smart Source™ technology knows when to send your commands to your TV and when to send them to your cable/satellite box. Remote is optimized for channel surfing and remembers your favorite channels. When you're tired, the remote will turn the TV off with a simple voice command. With its extensive built-in code library, it will never become obsolete, and it retains its settings when batteries are replaced. Uses 4 AAA batteries (not included).

7" tall.

Not as Hands-Free as Promised

★☆☆☆☆

The hands-free only worked a few times, the signal was lost very often, and it was more of a frustration than it was worth.
