Remote Control (Car Stereo)

For remote-compatible CD receivers, wired or infrared wireless remotes are either included with a receiver, or available as accessories.

Remote Control (Computer Technology)

This is a means of taking control of a remote computer, usually on a remote network. Programs like pcAnywhere and a host of others offer this ability. Usually, you call the remote computer with a modem and control the computer by interacting with your computer while seeing on your screen a representation of what is actually happening on the remote computer. The downside to remote control is that each remote connection requires a separate computer. You can't have multiple people controlling one computer remotely and seeing a useful representation of what is on the remote display. Well known applications for this purpose are VNC (free), PC-Anywhere and Terminal Services (part of Windows).

Remote Control (Industrial Products)

A method of controlling a hoist trolley, crane, etc., other than a pendant control station.
