That may sound like a drawback, but by eliminating the touch screen, the URC-200 is actually easier to use than its big brother because you get tactile affirmation that you've activated a function. And instead of the four-line, two-column touch screen, the URC-200 has five hard buttons that correspond to adjacent soft-key labels on the five-line screen. In fact, the only notable physical difference between the two are their LCD screens: the URC-200's is smaller than the URC-300's. The Automator's dimensions (8.5 inches long by 2.5 inches wide by 1 inch deep), weight (8 ounces), and power requirements (four AAA batteries) are identical to those of the Customizer. Available for $150, the Automator controls up to 10 devices-five fewer than its more expensive sibling, the URC-300 Customizer however, the URC-300 is more full-featured than the step-down URC-100 Unifier. The URC-200 Automator is the middle child of three similarly featured models from Universal Remote.
