17. Glossary

Memory backup: The NX-RM505 can retain its programming
information for an indefinite amount of time without batteries
installed. Remotes that do not feature this may have their
programming erased when changing batteries.

Operating distance: The distance from which a remote control can
still reliably operate devices. The average infrared range is thirty
feet, although the NX-RM505 is capable of greater distances.

Page: Refers to a single screen of buttons or information displayed
on the LCD panel.

Pause: See Delay.

Power off: A feature used by many LCD remote controls to save
battery power, it represents entering a ‘standby’ mode after a
certain length of inactivity. The NX-RM505 uses very little power
with the LCD screen on, so the screen remains on at all times.

Pre-programmed: Indicates a library of infrared codes built in to a
particular remote. This feature allows a remote to control your
equipment without needing to learn individual signals, or replace a
particular remote that is lost or broken. The database used for the
pre-programmed Device codes may not be able to control all your
devices. In this case you can simply use the learning capabilities of
the remote.

Punch Through: A term coined to represent the ability to use certain
functions from one device under another. For instance, when a
remote is set to the ‘Television’ device, the transport keys may be
‘punched through’ to operate the VCR, while the volume keys may
be ‘punched through’ to operate the audio receiver.
