And, while not exactly family-friendly, youre welcome to remotely control the mini from the couch, another part of your home, or across the Internet with a Mac and Leopards screen sharing feature, Back to My Mac, or a VNC application such as Patrick Steins free JollysFastVNC.

In the first three parts of my ongoing venture to make a Mac mini a powerful component of my AV empire weve covered upgrading the Mac, connecting it to a typical AV system, and configuring it to access local and streaming media.

We now turn to one of the most important elements of any AV systemcontrolling it all from the couch.

A Mac mini does a far better impression of an integrated AV device when its not tethered to a keyboard and mouse.

In the past I might have used Apples remote control or configured my 250 Logitech Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote to mimic the Apple remotes functions, but some of todays media applications require keyboard input and a measure of mousing.

Rowmote Remote Control Bluetooth Keyboard And

While a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse would certainly get the job done, such input devices are on the bulky side.

And Apples remotecute as a button though it may becant handle keyboard and mouse-like chores.

Fortunately a variety of inexpensive iPhone and iPod touch applications (and the accompanying Mac-based server apps required by some of them) do.

Apples free Remote ( ) application is a great way to play media stored in the minis iTunes library.

Just pair the iPhone or iPod touch with the minis copy of iTunes, and you can control playback of audiobooks, music, music videos, TV shows, movies, and podcasts.

And, if you have other Macs in the house, you can control their iTunes libraries as well.

To make the video experience more seamless, launch iTunes on your Mac, open its preferences (iTunes - Preferences), click the Playback tab, and from the Play Movies and TV Shows pop-up menu, choose Full Screen.

The Remote app is fine for controlling iTunes, but it does nothing for the rest of the Mac.

For general-purpose input and mousing I purchased R.P.A Techs 6 Air Mouse Pro ( ).

Install Air Mouse Pro on your iPhone or iPod touch, and install the free Air Mouse Server on your Mac and youve got a remote control thats capable of mousing, clicking, typing, and scrolling, as well as offering broad controls for Safari and iTunes.

Air Mouse Pro is a great remote, but for applications such as Boxee, Front Row, and Plex that rely almost entirely on a Mac keyboards arrow and Return keys, its imperfect as its keyboard is a little small for large fingers.

For Boxee, theres the free Boxee Remote application for iPhone and iPod touch.

The first is a four-way arrow pad with a central OK button and a Back button.

The arrow pad corresponds to the Mac keyboards four arrow keys, the OK button equals the Macs Return key, and the Back button is the Macs Escape key.

You can also control Boxee with a Gesture controla large Boxee icon that you drag around the iPhones screen to highlight and activate objects in the Boxee interface.

Regrettably, the Boxee Remote application wont launch the Boxee application.

Evan Schoenbergs 1 Rowmote: Remote Control for Mac can both launch and control Boxee and a host of other Mac applications including Front Row, DVD Player, iTunes, iPhoto, Keynote, PowerPoint, QuickTime, Plex, and VLC.

It mimics Apples remote with its four direct buttons, central PlayPause button, and Menu button.

Unlike with Apples remote, however, you can pick applications to control.

Similar to Air Mouse Pro, you need to install a free server application (called Rowmote Helper ) on your Mac.
