😂😂😂 Jessica talking to the audience cracks me up.
This video was too funny not to share with everyone. I love her.
She’s hilarious, include her again
There is no better test for any devise than to hand it to your wife! The true test of “is it simple?” Love your wife, she’s a riot.
Man, this is so on point. Even when I *think* I have everything set up to be user friendly, *something* is funky. I'm regularly getting calls texts from the family saying "the remote isn't working".
Mrs. Youthman was the star of this show. "something ALWAYS goes wrong" 😂
She's right
OMG!! This video is hilarious and soooo familiar to my wife’s experiences with all my gadgets! Thanks for being a good sport Mrs. Youthman!
She was pushing your buttons instead of the other way around for a change😂😅
haha right! It was too funny not to share with everyone.
I have to admit that was fun to watch. I was laughing most of the way through it. I’m with you Michael I’ve never heard mistakes are magical but I’ll have to remember that.😅
Me too! It was too funny not to share. 🤣
So relatable. I can't fathom how my wife doesn't understand how to use the theater room. And she doesn't understand why I'm always fiddling with 50 different things before she can watch HGTV
Reminds of the 8 at night phone calls from my parents trying to switch modes on the TV to watch a movie haha
Your Wife was awesome!!!! I had to laugh at her reaction!.
The struggle is real! Too relateable 😅
The beginning of this video gives me PTSD on giving anyone in my family technical support. And her talking to the camera when you left the room was great! 😂
I’m laughing over here 😂😂
Haha, great video 😄
I hate it when things like that happen with the tech. Like when you setup an awesome Alexa routine, works in tests then you have your better half try and it just fails 😂
Haha right? I blame it on the power outage and me moving the or sensor to the floor after my previous video 🤣
@@Youthman Looking forward to your upcoming review. I wanted a Harmony to Partner Proof my main movie system but they discontinued it just at the wrong time for me.
Needless to say, the main viewing in the house is the TV, with a streamer linked with CEC 😁
Every man’s adventure 😂. Gave my wife 3 buttons and still not a given.
Great review. I've had the same experience many times with my wife. The Sofa Baton looks really close to what I want - but if there are important buttons that it can't learn, then it's of no use to me. For the price, it's worth a try. My old MX-780 is working, but its RF performance is really bad in the modern world. I need something new.
I'll likely order the X1S after your formal review - so long as you don't reveal any huge problems.
I'm glad you went through this headache for me... I was going to tuck away all of the other remotes and only keep out the Sofabaton. NOPE!!! The secondhand frustration and annoyance of watching this has led me to decide to just put an end table by my wife's seat with all of the old remotes, and make a sign for the Sofabaton that says "Do Not Touch"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Lesson 2: controlling the lights and air conditioning.
Just kidding, the control looks great, good alternative. Excellent video Youthman!
She knows how to control the lights. “Alexa, theater lights on”. 😀
Need more stuff like this where reality hits us audio geeks 😂
Edit: Moral of the story - we still need to be in the room when someone needs to listen to a song
I love Jessica!!!! I don’t understand most of what he was saying😂😂. Good job Jessica!
She’s a keeper!
Most DEFINITELY, Trying To Learn This Gaget With You Guy's!!!!
The opposite of off is on. Youthman: NO. Actually that would be correct. You owe an apology. Bahaha. This is one of the best videos in a long time. Love the interaction, she was AMAZING!!
🤣🤣🤣 I’m still laughing that she did that.
The Fire stick max has been mostly working for us. It controls/triggers everything through the HDMI. I had it switching on the 4k player through voice command but had that kinda ended when the 4k always wanted to take priority all the time. seemingly randomly
I just got around to watching this one but I love Jessica's sweatshirt!! Snowshoe is just down the road from me and I actually remember it opening in 1974!! Fun video! Thanks! ~Frank
Thanks Frank. We used to take our High Schoolers skiing and snowboarding at Snowshoe.
@@Youthman It's a great place and a gem of West Virginia tourism. I think they've struggled with limited snowfall recently. The past couple of winters have been incredibly mild around here. Glad you enjoyed our state! Come back to Wild, Wonderful, West Virginia anytime!! Maybe bring your High Schoolers on a whitewater adventure?? ~Frank
I just watched one of your other videos and used the discount code Thanks
😂 This proves that someone will be handing us the remote well beyond the grave. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
God bless your marriage...understanding and patience is a key factor for happy life...i love these videos
At least your wife had patience for this and was a great spirit about it :) my CEC is too funky I hate it I’m going back to IR control. I don’t like how slow volume change is on harmony and after using Apple TV or Sony premium remotes the Logitech feels cheap and slow.
Lol this we needed some good old wife irritating husband home theater content 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅
I’ll add that to the list of videos 🤣
Hahahahehhee your wife is absolutely hilarious and adorable.
Thank you kindly. I agree
You guys together = Adorable! Great video!!!
Thank you kindly
You folks are so sweet! (What life is like living with a tech-nerd! My better-half would agree! )
However, I better understand the individual remotes, so I am sticking with them to diagnose individual issues. I too am NOT a tech nerd, and I want control over each device so I can see first-hand what each device is doing. Meanwhile though, I have about 80-90% integration with my contro4 system wand but still can revert back to individual wands when I need to which - has happened! if things get totally wonky, it means a call to my control4 integrator whereupon he needs an explanation as to the individual issue so he can fix it at his end. Does not happen very often BUT there is still a need for analysis.
What really struck me, as your better-half pointed out . . . is that button “identity” is not as “intuitive” as the manufacturer thinks it is. Recall, she could not immediately identify the “off-button”. That says and means - alot!! Engineers can get themselves into a “techie-bubble” and “assume” things or take for granted things the uninitiated clearly do not recognize. For example, my Control4 wand has the word “off” very clearly marked right on relevant button. Maybe Sofabaton should take some instruction from Control4?!
Does this remote have macro functions?
Like say you want to set up watching kaleidescape hit the Kaleidoscape button it turns the projector and the TV and the surround processor or receiver on?
That’s exactly what it does. We just had issues because we had a power outage earlier so the projector did not turn on. Had to unplug it and plug it back in. I had moved the IR sensor to the floor that was originally pointed at the Kaleidescape as I thought I was done filming.
If you take a look at my walk-through of the SofaBaton, you will see if you can set up activities for your macros. One button to trigger that sequence of events.
This is giving me PTSD with my wife. Tried to show her how to turn on our home theater equipment and she kept jumping the gun touching stuff😂😂😂😂😂
This video is funny, but very realistic. I have had similar issues handing harmony remotes to family members, both men and women! I think most have figured out how to use that remote, but I don’t know what to do when it gives up the ghost and I have to switch to a different universal remote solution.
"I want some good, wholesome ni... Ooo, Michael Jackson!" Made me lol
She grew up listening to his music. 🤣
I got a Harmony Elite, any reason to replace for this?
hahahaha!!! hey brother, this is totally the truth of every marriage theater clinic conducted by husbands across America!!! She is a Gem!!! I have control 4 and have the same struggles with my wife , She hates it, just turn it on for me!! hahahahaha great video
You guys are so funny. I can totally relate to this video.
Thanks!
thats how i am when my brother touches my equipment 🤣😭
🤣🤣🤣 this was so funny watching her
@@Youthman had me laughing too, made my day honestly 🤣
@@Youthman my brother always tells me “i dont know how this works” 🤣
This is great! Wouldn't have made it this far in my house.
Best video you have made! I can SOOOOO relate?! I still use my Harmony...
Thanks! 🤣
Such a lovely beautiful couple ,the wife should do more video with the husband this is a great video ,I want to see more of them together in video 👍❤️👏🙏
Thank you kindly
You did your wife wrong with that thumbnail 😂
When you volunteer to be in my video, you don’t get to choose the thumbnail 🤣
Great video and I’ve had many of those sessions with my wife and that’s how we find out if something really consumer friendly because we’re all tech heads and it makes perfect sense to us
Exactly! Jessica just can’t help pushing all the buttons lol
😂 gotta love you guys!! 👍🏾👍🏾
Excellent video as always Youthman!
On a serious note, this is good for manufacturers to see how user friendly their devices are.
Remotes such as the Sofabaton may seem straightforward for us HT enthusiasts to use and navigate, but people who may not have the same level of knowledge and experience with these devices may find them trickier to get accustomed to.
Good job you were able to quickly troubleshoot the issues you had with the power and iR sensor.
Thanks again 🫡
Thank you kindly.
You Sure You Got It 🤔 Too Michael Lol..
My wife has no clue how to turn anything on in my basement setup, but my 15 year old son at least knows how to turn things on and off and how to watch what he wants. I control most of my system with an app on my phone except for my PS3 which is my Blu-ray player. I have a Harmony remote, but my phone app is easier to use. If I ever get more equipment or new equipment I may look into a new universal remote.
This may be one of my favorite Youthman videos to date!
I’m still cracking up over it. I’m glad you enjoyed it
This is funny and entertaining 👍🏻👍🏻
I’m still laughing myself 😂
I have the X1 version and wondering what the X1S bring as new features. Worth upgrading?
Im not sure the exact upgrades. I had lots of bugs / issues with the X1. I have not had those issues with the X1S.
@@Youthman It has backlight and pickup-sensor to turn on the backlight. Other minor improvements. Well worth the money I guess.
Got my Sofabaton X1S yesterday, been very disappointed at this point. Downloaded the database for a 2022 Sony TV and multiple buttons don't work correctly on the remote and unfortunately the hub refused to learn any commands from the original remote, so now what. Not very happy.
I’m sorry to hear that. Their team has shared with me if anyone has issues to submit them through the app under the Me > Contact Support Team and they will do their best to take care of you. Let me know what you find out.
hmm i just got the u1 to try out and was going to get the x1s, BUT the "off" button is dumb. should be just a power symbol.
will confuse anybody. I'm skipping to just the u2
One word - funny😂
Thanks Tyler! I’m still laughing.
Mistakes are magical! God bless you guys. She is wonderful and was spontaneous with the feedback. She started to push buttons like a flip-phone😂 great reviewer!
Haha thanks. She’s too funny.
One thing I think you need to do on the Sofabaton is to quit thinking like the AV geek that all of us watching this are! Naming the activities with "Watch" then followed by the source, or "Listen to" then followed by the source are a great way to go. I also like to hide access to most of the controls of the original remotes, otherwise there are too many possibilities to get things wrong... ie: turn on tape monitor, etc, that then results in things not working without knowing a lot about AV gear! I really like the approach of, Choose an activity and push that button to turn everything on, or to change to those things on. Then having the remote give access to volume, mute, and controls of that source only are the way to go.
Trying to make these systems "bullet proof" for spouses, is actually quite difficult. This is where Harmony was actually quite good, with their built in "Help" that would walk through fixing things. This is where solution like the Sofabaton and Unfolded Circle's Remote Two, are still behind. Such solutions can work well, but if someone doesn't fully understand what should be happening, that a pause waiting for something to complete before going on, etc... Spouses can totally desync everything to the point where it takes me a while to get it figured out! I'm holding onto my Harmony remotes with a death grip for now. I will do whatever it takes to keep them going.
URC makes comparable solutions to Harmony, but as they won't share software with consumers, they are dead to me. I bought a URC MX-3000 when it first came out. After about a year, they decided they would no longer give consumers access to the software updates or IR databases. That is when I jumped from URC to Harmony, I've been happy with their solution ever since. These other solutions just lack the software polish that Harmony did.
Funny as hell. lol.
But this goes to show that we should keep things simple. I'm currently building my Atmos setup in my living room and I plan to have only one receiver, the Marantz Cinema 50 and one 75" TV, no external amps, dacs streamers etc. I think that's just ridiculous. If later on I need more power or channels I'll just upgrade to Cinema 30.
It doesn’t get more simple than a universal remote lol.
Lol, this brings back memories .
🤣🤣🤣
That was precious.
I can't get past the placement of the back button. Deal breaker for one handed operation. Why isn't it part of the scroll wheel or next to it?
I shared the same feedback during my review of the original X1. Hopefully they will move it on their future remotes.
Lol, you made the same mistake we all do. Try to teach the wife how to control the home theater without being 100% sure things are not out of sorts. Now she's just going to remember what a struggle this was and still never use it on her own 😂
🤣🤣🤣 yeah I should’ve tested it earlier because I would’ve realized the projector needed a reboot and the IR sensor needed to be put back in place in front of the Kaleidescape lol
LMAO. And thats why Im not married. Get her youthman.
🤣😂🤣
Michael, I laughed when I saw your headline, I can relate. I promise you, Jessica is 100% the same as my wife.
I fully admit, I have a lot of stuff. I boiled it down so my wife had to push "on" for two different remotes. Oh my gosh, you would have thought it was on the same level as the moon landing. She could push ONE button to turn on the system, but TWO? TWO BUTTONS?? She didn't even try.
I feel Jessica represents the MAJORITY of women out there, so stay strong Jessica against those complicated remotes in your attempt to watch TV in the home theater room. And "yes" I'll be getting one for my wife. 😎👍
🤣🤣🤣
@@Youthman I ordered the remote based on your interaction with Jessica. I'm trying to save my marriage! 😎🙏
@voiceofreason9238 🤣🤣🤣 let me know how it goes.
My wife only touches my TV remote to turn it off if I am sleeping because she knows that I don't want burn in on my OLED.
Lost all my composure at "Make a left arrow ⬅️!!! Classic I'm adding make a left button to my personal instruction manual. Thanks guys!
I’m literally still laughing at stuff she said. 😂😂😂
Ordered mine yesterday.. Well see how my wife does as I'm the tech/gear head even though she's very smart. I'm sure she'll pick it up quickly once I "train her" . Great funny video. You rock Youthman
You need to get your wife to be in more videos. A natural ☺️
Thanks she’s in a few. Take a look at this one we did awhile back th-cam.com/video/rk8zqDpsLbI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3ZOSnrJxpkYFye6R
Wifey is hilarious 🤣 🤣 😂😂
She’s a keeper!
Yessir 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
So, Michael, you have to turn on individual devices, instead of clicking one button to turn on everything?
No, take a look at the walkthrough video. The issue we had was the power went out so my projector wasn’t turning on. Everything else powered up when she hit Watch Kaleidescape. After I unplugged and replugged in the projector, she could have hit Watch Kaleidescape again and it would have powered on the projector.
@@Youthman Good to know. I just wanted to ask. I have no intention on getting that remote at this time, just want to take things in. When the time comes, I can go to your tutorial on setup!
OMG I swear I just seen my wife and I when we are in the theater room🤣🤣
I’m soooo glad I’m not alone 😂
You are definitely not alone. I just bought this remote the other day exactly for this use case.. I'm looking forward to this scene repeat at my place 😂
Let me know how she does Jeff 🤣
I blame Youthman as always ... Just makes things more complicated 😁😁😁😁 ( How many fights 🥊has the remote control caused )
She seems like a sweetart 😂
Get a Control4 NEEO remote and a CORE Lite controller and be done with it, simply choose the App or video player device you want as an icon on a screen and it does the rest of the work for you, no other remote offers such simplicity when you have many devices in your media room
C4 requires a dealer to setup and program some of it. Thats a hard pass for me.
Y'all are so cute😂😂😂
Thanks Rodney. We’ve been happily married now for 27 years.
"wholesome, nice.... oh, Michael Jackson " _dichotomy_
I Understand her confusion Thats why things are much simpler in my home turn on the Tv and choose an app, Netflix,Tidal, Spotify,Hulu Amazon prime video etc, Youthman is my Home Theater hero as Ive learned many things from him, this video is for both me and my wife. @Youthman Thanks
This is like watching a Sitcom 😂 , love it
That poor poor woman
I can sympathize with Yourhman too because I’ve tried to show my wife how to use the Harmony and she still doesn’t know how to use it.
This is an awesome video
Thanks!
I am having nothing but problems with the X1S, and the tech support is not particularly helpful, talked to them on support chat but it was less then satisfactory. So got it 2 days ago and really I think it needs a lot of improvements in many areas. My biggest issue at the moment is the HUB will not learn commands 50% of the time. I am having a lot of problems with using it as a replacement, the software app is less then intuitive. My specific problem is even though they have database coding for all my equipment it does not like my Sony TV remote in particular. Out of the 12 or so buttons on the X1S about 5 work with the Sony TV. Problem is I can't train the buttons to do anything else since it wont learn the commands from the original remote. It needs a lot of development to replace the Harmony Elite IMO. Very dissatisfied at this point. BTW I am very tech savvy, build my own computers, set up my home theater DIY etc.
I only had two of my remotes that it would not learn (madVR and Hisense). I find the app extremely intuitive, especially after using my Harmony Elite. What do you find about the app that is not intuitive?
Awesome video, just goes to show how not straight forward these things are none tech people.😅
This is exactly why Jessica refuses to let me set up email on her phone. She sends me images and asks me to email them to her. 🤣
That not actually her fault. 😂 that me when I try to impress my wife when I get something new and doesn’t work 😂😂
Is like to get this but the 20% off wasn’t working only the 10 percent off through Amazon
Lots of people said the 20% off coupon worked for them. Not sure
@@YouthmanI checked again today because it’s payday lol and Amazon had it on a flash deal so was able to get 47.50 off the regular price ! Will be here tomorrow
@danemoreno88 that’s great! Nice score bro
Why not just switch to Control 4. When my harmony died I picked up a C4 Halo Touch and a Core Lite and got everything programmed and working. I will say that C4 IP Controls everything in my theater and I have zero IR emitters in use and everything just works flawlessly. I love my Harmony but always had little issues and C4 has been the best upgrade for me. I also have the C4 App setup aswell and again a breeze to use.
C4 requires an integrator to fully program it. Hard pass for me.
There’s loop holes. I did my full setup without an integrator. But there is also a Home Edition of Composer. So even if you did have an integrator add your drivers you can take over with Home Edition and program it yourself.
So what happens when you buy a new component? My understanding is you have to have your integrator add it. I need something that I can 100% program and update myself.
Why don't you get an I-Pad or something that is programmed to turn on projector & K-scape & make it easy to navigate the different features. Different remotes are confusing as hell!
The remote is simple for her once I show her how it works. I was just curious how well she would do with zero instructions.
I Would've Probably Done The Exact Same Thing Your Wife ( Lol) Just Did ! Seriously! Love ❤️ 2 Together! Michael, You Have Taught Me Alot Over The Years! You Wouldn't Even Believe It!
I’m truly grateful
OMG she’s just like my wife! I love this! In the end she’s right, just watch the other tv
I’m glad I’m not alone! 😂
With this remote can you have Alexa give a command? Ie. can you say “Alexa turn on xxx”?
@bocfo yes it does have integration with Alexa. I just only use Alexa to turn on and off my lights so I did not try to set that up
This is a brilliant video Mike. Jessica you rock for being on camera
Thanks Matt
fun video YM. I feel for ya though
We had a good laugh together
@@Youthman that is what really matters. you both had fun.
Oh this is just so funny and true to real life 😂😂😂. And how your wife talks secretly to the camera 😅😅😅😅. Love it!
Imagine how much fun I had editing the video and hearing her talk to you guys while I was outside the room that was hilarious 🤣
Love you guys - lol! The power failure earlier was a bit of an abnormal problem... - Jessica did great (considering) I would have been lost too.- Thanks! - Cheers!
I was lost for a minute. I thought the SofaBaton was acting up until I remembered the power went out for about 15 minutes. Projector just needed to be fully powered down.
a good wife with a not so good remote.😂😂😂
Actually, the remote works great. If we had not have had the power outage, and if I would not have moved the IR sensor for the Kaleidescape onto the floor, the remote would’ve worked perfectly
@@Youthman do you actually have to those little ir blasters stuck to everything?
@supernovamoore6175 no I don’t. If you watch the full video that I did two days ago, you can see I just had them hanging in front of the equipment temporarily just to make the video. I had forgotten that I had placed the IR sensors on the floor, which is why the Kaleidescape did not work lol
This is why IP control is better than using infrared repeaters. I'm secretly hoping Logitech is working on a new version of Harmony that uses IP controls as much as possible.
I’m assuming you haven’t heard that Logitech is closing their Harmony business. They announced that two years ago - support.myharmony.com/en-rs/harmony-remote-manufacturing-update#:~:text=Is%20Logitech%20selling%2Fclosing%2Fdiscontinuing,to%20discontinue%20manufacturing%20Harmony%20remotes.
@@Youthman oh I know. Just hoping they would come to their senses and restart the business. But I'm sure it won't happen. This new Sofabaton has some real promise it seems.
@jkenefake it’s definitely much improved over the original X1. Still not perfect and has less features than the Harmony Elite.
I had the same exact problem, the only one who understood the HT system was…myself. Dispite all my efforts to really try to make it simple for my family. After 5 years I gave up the “battle”. I couldn’t comprehend to make the HT usable for my family. In the end got rid of the entire HT. You know i was absolutely GUTTED…. These systems are only suited😅 for enthousiasts, untill there is a REAL simple solution a new HT is not feasable for us…sorry
The only solution for now is to visit a legit cinema, now I’m ok with that.
My god, that poor woman!
😂😂😂😂
My wife was the same way so I got her to just start using Siri now she just hast to say Siri turn on the living room tv
I SILL USE ALL THE REMOTES AND MY WIFE HAS NO CLUE HOW TO USE MY HT ROOM , BECAUSE OF ALL THE INPUTS YOU HAVE TO SELECT ... AND I DONT BLAME HER .. I HAVE IT RIGGED SO DIFFICULT WITH SO MANY COMPONENTS ...LOL
I’ve been there. And will be again.
