    No, it’s a tuning fork that produces 4 seperate tones, one for each “button.” The TV had a microphone listening for tones and would respond accordingly. You didn’t actually have to point the remote at the TV, which later became a problem, as the mic on the TV was technically always listening for a tone.

        Unfortunately, you violated the law slightly by asking a question!

        Cunningham’s Law states “the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.”
