Abstract: In a remote control system, for example for the adjustment of a television set or a radio set, at least one portion of the commands to be transmitted is determined by an analog setting. To this end, the transmitter is selectively operated to transmit a binary code word characterizing the command and analog information is provided by adjusting the time interval between the code word and the next following code word. The second code word may be identical to the first code word, in which case the code word is repeated at selected intervals. The second code word could also be an individual pulse. The receiving system includes a decoder for identifying the command and an analog sensing circuit for terminating the command in response to the adjusted time interval between code words.
