Ever wondered what a remote control signal actually looks like? Well, it's a beam of infrared light that flashes rapidly kinda like morse code, the actual message is carried in the way the light flashes, not the IR frequency as many might expect.
Most signals create the message by varying the amount of time the light is OFF between the flashes, although some (like Sony) vary the ON time to create the message, and a few vary both but don't worry about that now.
Do you think that computer and video games are just for kids? Do you think that spending an hour a day playing video games is bad for your health? It is time to think again.
Dear Sir, please can you help. I Have a Canon digital camera which records and plays 30 seconds clips of video. These can be copied to a CD and played in a program called QuickTime on my computer, but it they will not play in my home DVD player. However, it does work when I copy JPEG photos. I have a Panasonic DVD home theater system, model SC-HT870. I'm hoping you can help this silly old fool in Devon.
