Television Remote Control (Tuner) (ca. 1961)

[exciting music]

And here it is.

The greatest advance in television

since color television itself.

The ultimate

in performance and convenience.

Seven function remote control color television

so beautiful it enhances any decor.

Clean, modern styling.

No knobs or gadgets in sight.

Superb cabinetry,

master crafted of the finest woods.

But the outstanding feature

of this great new color set,

the one big feature that sets it apart

is an amazing new

wireless wizard electronic remote control.

So perfected,

you can operate every control

all seven functions

and each function is completely variable.

Tint,

color,

brightness,

volume,

fine-tuning,

channel selection,

on/off,

you can tune either with the remote unit

from your easy chair,

or use the push button panel in the cabinet.

Here,

hidden,

is the push button panel.

It operates exactly in the same way

as the wireless remote unit.

These rocker bars

control all of the necessary tuning functions.

To use the seven function

wireless wizard remote control,

turn on the power for the remote amplifier

at the set.

From then on,

the set is operative on remote,

push button tuning.

This red button lights up

and signals that the remote amplifier

is on and ready for use.

Take the remote unit from its handy storage space

and you're set for hours of pure pleasure.

Enjoy your favorite programs,

black and white or color.

Turn the set on,

select your channel,

see all color shows in living color.

Once you've adjusted fine tuning

for each channel,

you never need touch fine tuning again.

Either at the set

or on the remote unit.

But if you want,

touch

and you can adjust fine tuning

to suit your taste at any time.

If you over-tune,

on this or any other control,

just put the companion button

to reverse the direction of the control.

In the same way,

press the this rocker bar

to adjust the color

variable all the way from black and white

to maximum color intensity.

To adjust the tint control for natural face tones,

press the right rocker bar

or the left

lets you enjoy the picture you want

the way you wanna see it

right at your fingertips.

Adjust brightness,

lighter,

darker,

like all the controls on this remote unit,

the volume is fully variable.

Select any volume you want.

Should the telephone ring,

or guests arrive,

and you want to lower the sound for conversation,

turn the volume down to your taste.

Or surround yourself with room-filling

all speaker sound.

To change channels,

press this bar.

See all regular programs

in crisp, clear

black and white.

This selector button

changes channels clockwise

in ascending order

to preselected local channels

while this front window channel indicator

let's you know in a glance

what channel you're viewing

even from across the room.

This button

changes channels counterclockwise

to lower numbered stations.

When you want to turn off picture and sound

just press this button.

It turns off the setting amplifier

but the separate remote control amplifier

is still on

ready for you to return

to any later program you wish to see.

To turn off this separate remote amplifier,

push this button on the push button panel.

When the red pilot light is extinguished,

you know both amplifiers

are turned off.

Yes,

here is the ultimate in television.

A supreme achievement in television engineering.

A color set

that puts RCA Victor

years ahead

in dependable performance

armchair convenience

luxurious styling

a set where the pride of ownership

is truly

second only to the pleasure.
