Latest quest of mine was to hunt for a new compact Universal Remote without costing me my arms and legs. After my fully touch screen 16 device Remote failure, I was using all native remote which took up lot of space on our living room coffee table.

Previously I used to have which was sort Suwave SRC 3060, but they don’t manufacture that model any more, Sunwave SRC 3060 is the new version. However I was unable to get SRC 3060 from any Australian supplier, hence I got the compact SRC 600. It looks very promising by the book, however when I get it on my hand I’ll be able to give you my proper hands on review.
