ABSTRACT:
Remote control apparatus is provided for generating and transmitting remote control signals for controlling the operations of one or more devices. For example, the remote control apparatus may be used to control video playback and display devices, whereby previously recorded video signals may be played back and displayed. The apparatus includes a plurality of selector switches, each being selectively operable to initiate the transmission of a respective command signal for commanding a corresponding operation in the controlled devices. An encoder is coupled to the selector switches and is responsive to the operation of a respective one thereof to generate an encoded command signal. This command signal is transmitted to the controlled devices, wherein it is received and utilized to implement the commanded operation. A selectively operable control switch also is provided. A control circuit is coupled to the encoder and is responsive to the operation of the control switch to simulate successive operations of the plural selector switches, whereby the encoder responds to the operation of the control switch to generate successive encoded command signals.
