all functions related to:

o the Digital Output ("DO") signal read from
the CD-I disc

CD-I Remote Control
3. Mouse
The
main function of the CD-I remote control
is as a CD-I cursor control device and a CD
audio control commander for the MMC module.
The interface to the MMC module can be via
an infra-red (IR) transmission or via an
Input device (control) cable.
This mouse can be used in combination with your
CD-I system, .as an alternative to the CD-I remote
control. When the CD-I system is used on a desk,
for instance, the mouse offers generally easier
control and selection facilities.
