Metz Remote

MetzRemote brings Metz-like ease of use to your smartphone/tablet.

Compatibility: Function and ease of use work best with Metz TV generation Ch.613 and Ch.616 (Novum, Planea, Pureo, Clarea, Merio Media Z, Solea, Solea pro, Topas, Primus 550). Earlier network-enabled models may vary in compatibility and functionality. For best possible usage we recommend to update your TV software.
The app provides several functions:

#Remote Control
With the first the TV is operated. You can choose between controlling your TV set with remote control keys or switching to any channel using the station list. In addition, the EPG data of the TV set is sent to the app and therefore the name of the current broadcast for each station is displayed. A text input function allows the usage of your convenient smartphone/tablet keyboard to be used with many text input fields in your Metz TV.
#EPG
In the second tab you can use your MetzRemote as an electronic program guide. EPG data from your TV can be saved for simple overview, recording and reminding.
#Internet timer
The third section leads you directly to the internet timer for planning records even if you're not connected to your TV.
#Station Editor
The fourth function allows you to manipulate your station table. Using the Station Editor you can easily modify your station table with your smartphone and synchronize changes with the TV set. Besides moving, renaming and removing
stations from your station table, you can also create and manage all favorite lists by adding or removing stations.
#Wake On LAN
With the fifth function Wake On LAN you can start network devices from standby. With this function you can also wake up every device supporting the Wake On LAN standard, not only Metz TV sets.

Useful hints:
#Remote Control
- The „OK“ button in the middle of the main screen replaces the cursor input of the physical remote control unit („up, down, right, left“). Performed swipes will be recognized along with a haptic feedback.
- In the main view the size of the buttons can be adjusted with two-finger-zoom input.
- Pressing the button on the bottom right leads to all buttons, which are not available in the main view.
#Station Editor
- Synchronizing your modified station table with your TV set overrides its table. It is recommended to create a backup of your station table, using the export functionality of the TV set, to prevent data loss.
- Moving stations is triggered by long pressing a station list entry. You can not only move single stations, but multiple selected stations.
- Using the additional editing mode (triggered by selecting a station) you move, remove of rename stations.
#EPG
- Sync your app with the current available EPG events from TV by clicking on 'sync' button/icon in navigation bar.
- For recording or reminding choose on single event from the EPG overview. Here you will find also additional program information.
- Be sure to connect a storage device for the records.
#Wake On LAN
- Tapping a list entry send the wake up signal to the corresponding device.
- Long pressing an entry allows to edit or remove it.
- If your device does not respond to the sent wake up signal make sure that your device is a) currently in standby, b) in the right wifi network or c) you entered the MAC address correctly.
