ABSTRACT:
A remote control device having buttons with a primary function of activating generation of a control signal by the remote and secondary function of activating generation of an audio sample. The audio sample is unrelated to the primary, functional signal generated by pressing that button. The remote control device may include several different sets of audio samples, each set being associated with a particular television program, a particular theme or genre, and/or a particular component. The selection of the particular sample played by pressing a button may be done by switching, at random, or by a combination of both. The remote control may (a) generate control signals in silence, or (b) generate control signals in conjunction with audio features, or (c) generate audio features without generation of control signals.
