The “analog” version of the pillow speaker, as it is sometimes
referred to, provides a built-in speaker, a volume control, and one
dual-purpose button that both selects the TV channel, and powers
the television on and off.
If the television is in the standby state (power off), a single press
of the channel / power button will turn the unit on.
When the television is on, each press of the button increments the
currently-tuned channel.
If the television is on, it will power off when the the channel /
power button remains depressed for four successive channel incre-
ments (the television will power off
after
the fourth channel incre-
ment).
N
OTE
: Analog-style controls tend to exhibit a relatively slow
response time to channel commands
. This is normal, and is not
indicative of a system problem.
One example of a so-called “digital” version of the pillow speaker
provides a built-in speaker, a volume control, and dedicated buttons
that perform the following functions, as indicated.
•
Power on/off
•
