Operations 4
This remote operates under a 2 way remote system. With
the two way remote system, the component responds to
signals sent from the remote by sending additional signals
(information about the status of the component, text data,
etc.) back to the remote. Thus, operations are performed
as a result of communication between the remote and the
component.
