Bluetooth-to-IR-blaster

Accessories abound in the box. Samsung includes a battery-powered Bluetooth-to-IR blaster (above) that allows the TV to directly control a cable box or Blu-ray/DVD player or both. The idea is to use voice and gesture commands, as well as the touch-pad remote, with these external devices. I didn't re-review that blaster for this review but when I tried it with the PNE8000, it didn't work nearly as well as third-party universal remotes like Harmony.
