control: up, down, left, right and enter. The Joystick on the
MX-500
TM can be programmed with other commands as
well. The Joystick on the MX-500 TM is sometimes referred
to as a Thumbpad.
Keypad: Generally refers to all hard buttons on a remote
control, or more specifically the numeric keypad (0 through 9).
LCD screen: The display device built into the MX-500 TM .
The MX-500 TM LCD screen displays mode and
programming information, along with macro commands
and soft buttons.
Learning: The process through which a remote control
captures and stores infrared signals (codes) from other
remotes for later use. Some factors which can affect the
ability of one remote to learn another would be code
length, signal frequency, type of signal and the amount of
learning memory available. The MX-500
TM is capable of
learning to every button, including the joystick, except the
Page, Main, Fav buttons.
Macro: Macros are sequences of infrared commands that
are played back, in order, by a remote control at the push of
a single button. Macros can be used to automate the
powering on or off of your system, playing a movie or
changing inputs, or in Home Automation.
Memory: The amount of space included on a remote
control for storing all settings, such as preprogrammed
codes, learned signals, macros, and more. The MX-500
TM
has a large memory reserve for learning new codes.
