                  Inside TV Remote Control - The remote control's job is to 
                  wait for you to press a key, and then to translate that 
                  key-press into infrared (pronounced "infra-red") light signals 
                  that are received by the TV. When you take off the back cover 
                  of the control you can see what is inside it.

                    The Next to Minimal InfraRed Transmitter for PC - The 
                    Next to Minimal InfraRed Transmitter for PC was designed for 
                    a specific purpose: to invoke the 'Easy Startup Menu' of a 
                    SONY AV equipment, whose remote control is missing. No 
                    soldering iron, nor a oscillator was available - only one 
                    spare part infra red LED and a couple of hours. The solution 
                    was obvious - the infra red LED could be inserted to the 
                    parallel port, and both the carrier and modulator produced 
                    by software.

                    Universal IR Controller for a PC - This simple circuit 
                    allows you to record any IR remote control signal on your 
                    PC, and then play it back. This is particularly useful if 
                    you want to control appliances such as TVs, VCRs, CDs etc. 
                    from your computer. The device simply connects to the 
                    parallel port of your PC. You can also use this circuit to 
                    analyze the waveform from any IR remote control. This 
                    circuit was originally published in Electronics Australia, 
                    September 1998.
