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-500
TM is capable of controlling most 2-way
components.
