+### Manually specifying a device

+It is possible to bypass the automatic scanning that `atvremote` performs
+by passing the `--manual` flag. This is convenvient if you rely on an external
+scanning process or to shorten the turn-around time during development testing.
+However, doing so means that you mainly lose all benefits of unique identifiers.

+When specifying `--manual` you *must* also specify `--address`, `--port`, `--protocol`
+and `--id`. Even though the identifier is not used (or applicable), you must
+still specify something. A simple call example looks like this:
+
+    $ atvremote --manual --address 10.0.0.10 --port 49152 --protocol mrp --id test playing
