Note Windows Media Center remote controls must have the ability to activate a Play and a
Pause command. This can be implemented as either a separate button for each command or as
a single button that toggles between the two commands. The current conceptual design for the
Windows Media Center remote control uses separate buttons for Play and Pause.
