The remote

One of our biggest knocks on last year's model was that it lacked a remote control, so we were glad that the GDI-IR2000 includes a clicker. It's a typical credit card style remote that comes with many inexpensive electronics. It includes all the functions included on the front of the unit, but also like the front, there's no mute button. We would have preferred a more substantial remote, like the one included on the Squeezebox Boom, but it's perfectly acceptable at this price point.
