The LG AKB73975728 IR remote control can be used with BrightSign players built on the LG "Thor" platform. Unlike the [RC-1002 Remote Control](docId:2VCGHMSxhuRis4ojFTRZl), it does <u>not</u> require a separate USB or 3.5 mm IR adapter; button presses are received through the display's built-in IR sensor (IR-in).

The remote transmits standard NEC infrared codes (the player can decode them as NEC or NEC32). The Keycodes section below contains the unique hexadecimal codes that each button sends over IR when pressed.

# Keycodes

All buttons share the same NEC custom cod&#x65;**:&#x20;**&#x30;4FB. Each row lists the button's unique code (NEC command byte), the full decimal value reported for the NEC encoding, and the equivalent NEC32 code.

# Programming the Controller

You can program the controller through BrightSign Author, Bright Author Classic, or BrightScript:

- To use these commands in BrightAuthor\:connected, see [Remote Input Event](docId\:teRXGBRZ03XIsv2N8YqFH)&#x20;
- To use these commands in BrightAuthor Classic, see [Remote Input](docId:4baesI5gK4wm4HqU9zBr-)&#x20;
- To program the controller in BrightScript, see [roIRReceiver](docId\:V64tnBwIZ1Ythcch9cmRR).
  - When listening for these codes with roIRReceiver, specify the NEC or NEC32 encoding and match on the decimal value (NEC) or the hexadecimal NEC32 code listed above. Holding a button down produces a [roIRDownEvent](docId\:SBfRttEfWDTwWftbLqVPA), followed by repeating [roIRRepeatEvents](docId\:SBfRttEfWDTwWftbLqVPA) while the button is held, and a [roIRUpEvent](docId\:SBfRttEfWDTwWftbLqVPA) when the button is released.
