Short Description
A trainable television controller that provides a simple method for a single switch user to operate a remote control TV. A specially designed scanning system selects on/off, volume up/down and up to five different channels. The Controller can be 'taught' to emulate the original remote supplied with most televisions.
Method Of Use
Operation of the Television Controller
The first switch press 'wakes' up the unit, and a scan commences across the top 3 lights on the panel. (Each light is colour coded for easy use in a dim room.)
If the switch is pressed again while the light corresponding to the on/off function is lit, the system will activate the remote control, and the TV will from on to off or visa versa.
If the switch is pressed while either the volume or channel lights are on, a second sub-scan will commence, offering a choice of up or down.
A further switch selection will cause the volume to ramp up or down, or the channel to step up or down through the first 5 tuning selections of the television.
If no switch is pressed, the system reverts back to the top scan, and shortly after switches back to standby.
