transport. If desired the IR head can be fixed in a suitable position using a pair of Velcro strips (not supplied).

CDTV IR controller layout
|
The CDTV controller has five distinct areas, as follows (see picture):
|
|
Cursor pad. This is on the left hand side of the CDTV IR remote.
|
In ‘pointer’ mode it provides orthoganol pointer movements (note that intermediate 45 degree pointer movements are not supported).
|
In ‘keypad’ mode the cursor pad provide a shift/unshift lock function (up & down) and an ‘alpha’ map of A-M and N-Z (left & right).
|
|
A & B buttons. The A & B buttons are located on the right side of the CDTV IR remote.
|
In ‘pointer’ mode the A button is mapped as the left mouse button, and B as the right
|
mouse button.
|
In ‘keypad’ mode A is return and B is
|
backspace (or Delete if shift lock is on).
|
|
Numeric Pad. This occupies the central left area of the CDTV IR remote. It contains (in our definition) the keys labeled 0 to 9, ‘escape’, ‘enter’ and ‘genlock’ (13 keys in all).
|
In ‘pointer’ mode these keys return their numeric values and ‘-’, ‘/’ and ‘=’.
|
In ‘keypad’ mode these buttons return the values as above, and their equivalent Amiga keyboard shifted counterparts where shift lock has been set (eg shift ‘8’ = ‘*’ etc). Where alpha shift lock has been set these keys return a-m or n-z (and their shifted, upper case equivalents) as appropriate.
|
|
VCR control keys (FF, REW, PLAY/PAUSE, VOL UP & VOL DOWN). These occupy the
|
central right lower part of the CDTV IR remote.
|
In ‘pointer’ mode the directional keys in this group are mapped to the Amiga arrow keys, ‘stop’ is mapped to ‘return’ and ‘play/pause’ to tab .
|
In ‘keypad’ mode all keys are mapped to special character keys (shifted where appropriate) except that ‘shift play/pause’ whist in either of the alpha maps resets the ‘numeric’ and ‘VCR’ sections of the controller to the unshifted numeric submap.
|
|
Special purpose keys. These are located above the VCR keys and have the following functions in all modes:
