Can I control Audioengine speakers with my TV remote control?

Audioengine - Powered stereo speakers for your home and offi...
Most TV’s, especially LCD, DLP, or plasma, now have variable audio outputs that work really well with Audioengine speakers. Just connect the left and right audio out RCA jacks from your TV to the 3.5mm mini-jack input on the left speaker rear panel (we’ve included an RCA to 3.5mm “Y” cable). Set the volume knob on the left speaker front panel and then use your TV remote to control the Audioengine volume.

Are Audioengine speakers portable?

Audioengine - Powered stereo speakers for your home and offi...
Our 3 friends would ask us over and over “hey speaker guys, are there any good speakers for my living room that I can just plug in my MP3 player and not buy a big bulky stereo receiver?” There are so many portable iPod speakers on the market so we decided that Audioengine should be about making great sounding speakers for your home or office that don’t cost a fortune.

What is the best placement for Audioengine speakers?

Audioengine - Powered stereo speakers for your home and offi...
It is true that proper speaker placement has a huge impact on sound quality. There are many different theories, but all rooms and tastes are different so it's impossible to specify a "correct" placement. We do suggest you experiment with a few different locations to see what works for you. As a general rule of thumb for the best soundstage balance, the speakers should be equi-distant from side walls and a different distance from rear walls.

Can I use a subwoofer with Audioengine speakers?

Audioengine - Powered stereo speakers for your home and offi...
Even though Audioengine speakers have built in subwoofers which will easily fill a room and rival floorstanding speakers many times their size, you can also connect an external sub if you wish.

Just how easy are Audioengine speakers to set up?

Audioengine - Powered stereo speakers for your home and offi...
Take them out of the box and place them where you want. We recommend using speaker stands. Plug in the AC power cord and connect the speaker wire from the left powered speaker to the right. Then plug in your iPod or dock into the top Combo Port and you’re ready to go. All required cables are included.

Can the UX40/UX50 be used as a remote control for my TV/Receiver/Etc.?

Clie PEG-UX50 FAQ
No. Well, that's not entirely true. If you would like to sit within 12 inches of your device you would be able to remote control devices assuming you had the proper software. The problem is that the UX50 does not include a high power infrared transmitter that can be used to control home theatre systems, etc. so even if you found software compatible with the UX50 you would not be able to control anything from more than a foot or two away.

Why don’t Audioengine speakers have a built-in iPod dock?

Audioengine - Powered stereo speakers for your home and offi...
Audioengine speakers were designed to work with or without the Apple Universal Dock. There are so many iPod dock products on the market right now so we made a decision early on to spend our development budget and time on audio quality and other features (like USB charging). Some dock designs are fairly clever and some are just, well, sort of not so good.
