Company
Established in 1991, URC entered the control market with handheld remotes for subscription broadcast providers and OEM models for top consumer electronics companies.

In 1994, URC introduced the legendary Complete Control system which is still on the market today. The line revolutionized home theater, changing the way that people view all forms of broadcast media and TV content.
