transport. If desired the IR head can be fixed in a suitable position using a pair of Velcro strips (not supplied).


CDTV IR controller layout
The CDTV controller has five distinct areas, as follows (see picture):

Cursor pad. This is on the left hand side of the CDTV IR remote.
In �pointer� mode it provides orthoganol pointer movements (note that intermediate 45 degree pointer movements are not supported).
In �keypad� mode the cursor pad provide a shift/unshift lock function (up & down) and an �alpha� map of A-M and N-Z (left & right).

A & B buttons. The A & B buttons are located on the right side of the CDTV IR remote.
In �pointer� mode the A button is mapped as the left mouse button, and B as the right
mouse button.
In �keypad� mode A is return and B is
backspace (or Delete if shift lock is on).

Numeric Pad. This occupies the central left area of the CDTV IR remote. It contains (in our definition) the keys labeled 0 to 9, �escape�, �enter� and �genlock� (13 keys in all).
In �pointer� mode these keys return their numeric values and �-�, �/� and �=�.
In �keypad� mode these buttons return the values as above, and their equivalent Amiga keyboard shifted counterparts where shift lock has been set (eg shift �8� = �*� etc). Where alpha shift lock has been set these keys return a-m or n-z (and their shifted, upper case equivalents) as appropriate.

VCR control keys (FF, REW, PLAY/PAUSE, VOL UP & VOL DOWN). These occupy the
central right lower part of the CDTV IR remote.
In �pointer� mode the directional keys in this group are mapped to the Amiga arrow keys, �stop� is mapped to �return� and �play/pause� to tab .
In �keypad� mode all keys are mapped to special character keys (shifted where appropriate) except that �shift play/pause� whist in either of the alpha maps resets the �numeric� and �VCR� sections of the controller to the unshifted numeric submap.

Special purpose keys. These are located above the VCR keys and have the following functions in all modes:

CD/TV - toggles the xMON output (if fitted) between the two input sources.

Power - pressing & releasing this three times within one second resets the Amiga (as if L_Amiga, R_Amiga + Control had been pressed on a conventional keyboard).

Mouse-Joy slideswitch. Setting this to
�MOUSE� puts the EZKey-XS interpreter into �keypad� mode. Setting it to �JOY� puts the EZKey-XS into �pointer� mode.

A summary table of the various key mappings of the CDTV IR remote under different modes is given on the next page.
