## Description

**Marantz Remote Control** is a lightweight and user-friendly app designed by Illusions Inc that replicates the full functionality of a Marantz universal remote. It supports Marantz TV, Set Top Box, Projector, AV Receiver, Home Theatre, and DVD devices with a straightforward two-step configuration process and easy installation. The app requires a built-in IR blaster and once devices are configured, they remain saved for quick access.

Key features include vibration feedback toggle on button press, support for multiple devices saved in "Saved Devices," and small application size optimal for slow internet connections. Note that it is not an official Marantz product but offers comprehensive IR remote control based on collected codes for user convenience.
