Console for control of media systems

摘要

A control console for a video player, such as a DVD player. The console comprises a first group of sensors and a second group of sensors and a communication device for transmitting control signals to the DVD player. Several cards are provided. One card is arranged adjacent the console covering a surface area thereof. The card has slots for cooperation with the first group of sensors. The card also has figures covering the second group of sensors. When a child presses one of the figures, the corresponding button is activated and emits a signal for control of the DVD player. In programming mode, the signal controls the console itself for adapting the console to the DVD player actually used. There is also a programming mode using the DVD player's normal remote control for learning purpose.
