•MLC 52 standard models: These buttons are in input mode, colored blue, and are labeled “PC” and “Video.”

•MLC 52 VC models: One button is in input mode (blue) and is labeled “PC”; the other button is in single-switch mode (gray) and is unlabeled.

These buttons can be in either input or single switch mode on all models.

IR 452: The Power On and Power Off buttons on the IR 452 remote control are in power mode and are tied to the MLC Display On and Off buttons. These are the only IR 452 buttons that are programmed with functions and configured in a switch mode. Switch modes are not available for the other IR 452 buttons.
