Whats the difference between RC5 and RC6?
Most Philips CD-i playes (except the CDI 450, CDI 550 and the CD-i/Hifi combination FW380i) provided an IR receiver for the usage of a wireless controller to point the on screen cursor and select options. The first batch of players used the Enhanced RC5 system and were bundled with the Thumbstick, a remote control with a small thumb-controlled joystick on it. Later models used RC6 and were bundled with the CD-i Commander, a stylish remote that allowed for pressure differences to speed up or slow down the movement of the cursor. A few players accepted both RC-formats. Refer to the Comparison table of all Philips CD-i players to see which remote can be used. Please note that both Enhanced RC5 and RC6 are Philips-specific developments, they are not part of the Green Book. 4.10 Can a keyboard be connected to a CD-i player? Yes. Philips sold a keyboard for CD-i players called CD-i KeyControl. The keyboard could be used to enter Favourite Track Selection names for CD-Audio discs in the playe
