Remote control allows parents to restrict access to programs suitable for a younger audience ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- YourBroadbandStore, a comprehensive, one-stop website for consumers and contractors to buy professional grade telecommunications products, has added the Cricket(TM) Kid's Remote to its suite of products offered on the site. Manufactured by Universal Electronics(R), the Cricket Kid's Remote is sold under the YourBroadbandStore brand name. The Cricket Kid's Remote provides a fun and effective way for parents to control television programming to which their children have access. Ten buttons, imprinted with numbers and unique icons, can be programmed for direct access to only those channels parents deem suitable for their children. This remote also features On/Off, Volume, and Mute controls, as well as a Channel Up/Down key that allows the child to cycle through all preset channels. "The Cricket Kid's Remote is simple and fun device that engages the child, while providing parents with an effective tool for controlling access to undesirable television programming," said Tom Williams, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for YourBroadbandStore. "The cable and satellite industries have done a tremendous job in developing their software to help parents control what children watch. This is just one more device in the parent's tool box to ensure their kids are watching what they should be watching. The ability to personalize the Cricket Kid's Remote with the child's picture makes it a great gift." The included manual makes programming the Cricket Kid's Remote easy. A three position switch, located within the screw-secured battery compartment, is used to set the operating or programming mode for the remote. Set in "Child Mode," each favorite channel key takes the child directly to the associated, programmed channel-and the Channel Up/Down key only cycles through the programmed channels. In "Standard Mode," the Channel Up/Down key allows cycling through all available channels, and "Programming Mode" allows the assignment of new or additional favorite channels. Designed with child use in mind, the Cricket Kid's Remote features a colorful, gender-neutral, and ergonomic design, with rounded edges and an outer rubber ring for enhanced comfort and durability. A plastic image holder at the top of the remote can be personalized to display a child's picture, favorite character, or cartoon. The Cricket Kid's Remote has passed stringent child safety and durability testing, conducted by Universal Electronics, to ensure parental peace-of-mind. The remote works with cable, satellite, and telco video services, and operates on 2 AAA batteries.
