    Summary:
    Although the iMac has an infrared receiver, like the Power Macintosh 5200 computer, the remote control from the Power Macintosh 5300 cannot be used with the iMac.

DISCUSSION

    The infrared feature of the iMac is unlike the one-way infrared receivers of previous Power Macintosh 5xxx and 6xxx series computers. It is intended for two-way communications with other compatible IrDA-compliant devices and does not respond to the television-type remote controls used with the Apple TV/Video systems of those earlier Macintosh models.
