Who, in fact, has never complained about the disappearance of the remote control. Forgotten in another room, hidden between the sofa cushions or under the blanket, its absence is the object of wasted time and frustrations which quickly turns into exasperation. A mishap that will no longer happen with the Thomson Box Plus 270W equipped with a button on the front that you just have to press for the remote control to emit a loud sound allowing you to find it easily.

Another very practical feature offered by the Thomson Box Plus 270W is Google Assistant, managed through a Far-Field microphone, in addition to the button always present on the remote control of course. Thus, it is possible to vocally control the box and control the TV hands-free. It is also possible to use the Thomson Box Plus 270W as a connected speaker and ask it all kinds of questions. The answers are delivered thanks to a built-in speaker and a power of 3 watts. Note that the microphone can be "physically" cut off thanks to a dedicated switch on the side of the box.
