Model # and Info fields are automatically updated to show any property-level file information
that was associated with the selected IR file when it was created.
The control methods available for selection depend on the device type specified.
For example, if you select DVD Player, the only available control method options are
IR and Serial (the remaining radio buttons are disabled).
If IR is selected, you must locate the associated IRL file by using the Browse button
from the IR Data section. If you are using Serial as a Control Method, choose the
device from the Control Logic drop-down list.
The control methods available for selection depend on the device type specified.
For example, if you select a Digital Satellite System, the only control method option is
IR (the remaining radio buttons are disabled).
