The physical remotes that come with popular streamers like Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV are basically point-and-press devices. As with TVs, many of the AV-receiver apps also do double (or triple) duty controlling other home theater products in that manufacturer’s line, so you may be able to stretch the value of one app. These apps let you control your receiver’s power, volume, and inputs adjust your system’s treble, bass, and other EQ settings manage Internet radio services and audio streams from your DLNA servers and mobile devices and more. Popular brands including Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo, and Pioneer offer remote control apps for their networkable home theater receivers. The good news is they’re almost always free you don’t need line-of-sight to your components to use them as they work over your Wi-Fi network and because they are proprietary to each component manufacturer, they’re usually far less buggy than third-party apps. The downside is you’ll probably have to download a separate remote-control app for each component in your home theater system. If you don’t want the expense and hassle of adding hardware, you can rely solely on apps to get the job done.

If you have an older Android phone that doesn’t have a built-in IR emitter, plug the Irdroid into your phone’s headphone jack. The developers of Peel-an app available for both the iOS and Android operating systems-ingeniously figured out a way to bypass the iPhone’s and iPad’s lack of an infrared blaster by using your Wi-Fi network to control your set-top box. The iRed works much like Irdroid-just plug the infrared transmitter into the headphone jack of your device, download the accompanying app, and add your components from a database of more than 300,000 devices. Because iOS devices don’t have IR blasters, an adapter is the only way to go if want to use infrared to control your home theater from an iPhone or iPad.
