Voice-controlled multimedia device and universal remote

A voice-activated remote control device comprising:

• a housing;
• a loudspeaker;
• a microphone configured to generate an audio signal representing speech input;
• a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) port positioned on a first side of a main printed circuit board;
• a set of infrared light emitting diodes (infrared LEDs) positioned on a second side of the main printed circuit board, the set of infrared LEDs comprising:
• a first infrared LED oriented in a first direction, wherein a central axis of the first infrared LED forms a first angle with respect to a first edge of the main printed circuit board;
• a second infrared LED oriented in a second direction, wherein a central axis of the second infrared LED forms the first angle with respect to the first edge;
• a third infrared LED oriented in a third direction that is opposite the second direction, wherein a central axis of the third infrared LED forms the first angle with respect to a second edge of the main printed circuit board;
• a fourth infrared LED oriented in a fourth direction that is opposite the first direction, wherein a central axis of the fourth infrared LED forms the first angle with respect to the second edge;
• a fifth infrared LED oriented in a fifth direction with a central axis of the fifth infrared LED substantially aligned with the second edge;
• and
• a sixth infrared LED oriented in a sixth direction that is opposite the fifth direction with a central axis of the sixth infrared LED substantially aligned with the first edge.
