USING A/V DEVICE TO SEND CONTROLLED DEVICE COMMUNICATION-RELATED PARAMETERS TO PROGRAM REMOTE CONTROL

摘要

An A/V device such as a TV presents a series of GUIs that a user can navigate through using a programmable bidirectional remote control to select a type of component to be controlled, the manufacturer, and model number. Once the desired component is selected by navigating through the GUIs, the TV sends back the necessary code information to enable the remote control to communicate with the component.
