   How did Adler's remote work?

   • Unfortunately, the photo cells reacted to sunlight as well as the remote. Robert Adler's solution was for the remote to "communicate" with the TV by sound, not light - specifically, by ultrasound, that is, at frequencies higher than the human ear can hear. Adler's remote control unit itself was very simple: it did not even require batteries.
