* Note All Windows Media Center remote controls must have either the single Sleep toggle
button or both the Wake and Sleep buttons. No remote control should have all three buttons
combined on one remote control. These three buttons are the only buttons on the remote control
that can wake the system from the sleep mode. However, any shortcut or extensibility button that
is designated by Microsoft can wake the system first before starting a program that is designed
and developed for the 10-foot experience in Windows Media Center.
