17. Glossary

Discrete codes: Versions of toggle codes that only perform one function. Some examples would be "POWER ON" and "POWER OFF" or "VCR," "TUNER" and "DVD" receiver inputs. These types of signals are most often used to ensure your home theater components stay completely in sync for powering on and off and changing device inputs. Some of the preprogrammed codes in the MX-500TMcontain discrete codes. If your original remote contains discrete codes, these can be taught to the MX-500TMas well.

Device: The MX-500TMremote control is capable of controlling a certain number of devices, or pieces of equipment. Examples of devices would be televisions, DVD players, receivers or VCRs. Some devices, such as receivers or dual-cassette decks, may be treated by some remotes as more than one device. Also known as components.

Firmware: Indicates the programming software stored on the remote control. The MX-500TMremote can have its firmware flashed (upgraded) to a newer version.

Frequencies: The range of infrared carrier frequencies that a remote control is capable of learning or controlling. Most remotes operate between 30 and 60kHz, however some use higher and are thus known as high frequency.

The MX-500TMoperates and can learn frequencies between 10 kHz and 100kHz.

Hard buttons: Refers to all physical (mechanical) buttons on a remote control.

High frequency: Indicates an infrared system that employs

Please refer to “Programming Macro Buttons” above if you need to refresh your memory on programming macros. This example assumes you have not changed the names of the devices and that you have used “punch through” to assign the VOL to your receiver.
