Of all the reasons this makes you say WTF, I think the numpad that goes to 12 and doesn't have a 0 is the most WTF.

Well, it does go to 12, so there's that.

The number pad is probably some Japanese-specific standard. This would've been useful in the '90s.

Yes! All my HD channels are in the 1200s. Now I only have to press three buttons instead of four

They use the Asian markets to develop products. That's why you see some dumb things like big arse speakers on a high end display. What sells in the east isn't always popular in the western world.

Don't think you get it. Instead of going to 11, it goes to 12. Much louder.

The idea is that you can control and listen to your television without actually having to be in the same room. For example, you could listen to the news while you’re in the kitchen cooking or working out in the exercise room. It comes with a dongle that plugs into your television to beam audio to the speaker.


Granted this is aimed at the Japanese market, but what American doesn't have a TV within earshot of every room in the house?

So you would press 12 and then what?

reminds me of the Samsung refrigerator that can be hacked into giving up your google username and password.

Probably other numbers.

If one had a zero, you go to the channel above or below and then channel up/down accordingly. Come on. This thing is PERFECT!!!!

Look closely below the "10". It looks like "/0".

Not sure how that works...
