200 Series Remote Controls
 C-200 Black RF Remote : The C-200 comes with an RF Remote Control as standard. The RF Remote is black in colour with an orange backlight when used. RF remotes do not require line of sight and are regarded as superior to IR remotes which do require clear line of sight. The RF remote requires pairing to the C-200. You can only use the one RF remote at a time. |
 A-200/C-200 IRK-200 Silver IR Remote : The A-200 comes with an IR Remote Control as standard. This remote is also available with an IR receiver that plugs into the rear 3.5mm jack socket on the rear of the C-200. This enables those with Universal Remotes such as the Logitech Harmony series to continue to use these remotes with their C-200. If the IR remote is used the RF remote will not work on the C-200. The IR Remote Control is backlit and can also be used with the A100/A110. |

Networked Media Jukebox Remote Control Commands
- You are actually in Flash, an entirely different system than the usual UI and the usual media playing applications, when in the NMJ UI. Some of the remote control commands are very similar and some are new. Presently only the remote works there is no keyboard support.
- Good news is that the first time you use NMJ you are shown a series of screens with the remote control commands and some basic instructions. You can skip backwards and forwards through the help screens using the < and > button via your direction arrows on the D-pad. The buttons to skip are located bottom left of the help screens. Here's the first help screen:-
- The remote control buttons used are initially the coloured buttons when you first enter your NMJ location, unless you have Auto-Start ON in Menu Settings in which case the NMJ UI will launch. Thereafter it is a case of using the Angle button to change/select different view modes and the arrow keys to move between files and options once you have selected a file.
