VCR, while the volume keys may be "punched through" to
operate the audio receiver.
Signals: See “ codes” or “ infrared.”
Thumbpad: A feature on certain remote controls, the
thumbpad is 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
fast-forward, rewind, play, stop, pause, etc.
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
workarounds must be used when learning signals. The
MX-600 is capable of controlling most 2-way components.
RF: Radio Frequency signals. Note that the MX-600's RF
signal only communicates with the MRF-100 base station
(which converts it to Infrared signals). Components with
original RF remote controls cannot be operated by the MX-
600 unless the component can be switched to Infrared
control via it's internal menus.
