Abstract

Abstract A remote control system comprising a handset which may be manipulated to transmit control signals, and at least two controlled devices each comprising a control signal detector to which the respective controlled device is responsive, each control signal detector being responsive to a different control signal format from the other detector or detectors. The handset comprises a memory in which data is stored from which control signals in each of the different formats can be generated, and a processor which is selectively controllable by manipulation of the handset to generate control signals from the stored data in any one of the different signal formats.
