Kaleidescape Child Remote
When the Child Remote is used, the onscreen user interface automatically
switches to the simplified child user interface, eliminating all text-based menus
in favor of pure graphical navigation of movie covers.
In addition to the preprogrammed Kaleidescape Child Remote, the child user
interface commands can be sent to any programmable controller. Refer to
IR
Control Hex Codes for Kaleidescape Systems
or the

Third Party Control Devices

The simplest control device is a generic IR remote control for a DVD player.
IR Code Sets
The Kaleidescape movie player supports two major infrared remote control code
sets.
•
Code set used by Toshiba DVD players and other manufacturers
including Philips, Magnavox, Zenith, Onkyo, and Marantz
•
Code set used by Kenwood DVD players
Types of Remotes
IR remotes (other than the Kaleidescape Remote) fall into the following basic
categories:
•
Pre-programmed
•
Learning
•
PC Programmable
Pre-programmed Remotes
Pre-programmed remotes only require setting the remote to control a Toshiba or
Kenwood DVD player. Custom buttons that jump directly to Kaleidescape menu
selections are not available.
Learning Remotes
Learning remotes can be used two ways: as a general remote with a Toshiba or
Kenwood code set, or set to accept (learn) Kaleidescape-specific commands
