a single disc-shaped pointer which replicates five functions for
menu control: up, down, left, right and ENTER. Also referred to as a
‘joystick’.
Transport control: A common term for the group of
VCR/LD/DVD/DVR media operation controls, such as

Two Way Some devices actually send information back to a remote
control during use. This is known as 2-way communications.
Most 2-way components can still be controlled via a 1-way remote,
although certain work arounds must be used when learning signals.
The NX-RM505 is capable of controlling most 2-way components.
