Abstract

Abstract The remote control method involves using a remote control transmitter providing the control signals for at least one electronic device (10-25), such as a television receiver, video recorder, satellite receiver, or audio unit. The information data relating to the remote control functions of the electronic device is transmitted from the device to the remote control receiver and loaded in a memory for read-out during the remote control operation. The device identification number and the device type are transmitted to the remote control transmitter automatically when the electronic device is connected to the current supply network.
