Remote control apparatus is disclosed for a television receiver, including controls for turning on and off the television receiver, selecting a channel and for adjusting the volume of the audio portion of the transmitted program. In particular, the television receiver has a housing including a front faceplate having an opening therein, wherein a remote adaptor is inserted to make electrical connection with the TV receiver, and in particular its tuner, whereby a remote transmitter may transmit, as by ultrasonic waves, signals indicative of the desired control function to be effected upon the television receiver. The operations for adapting the television receiver for remote control are carried out without tools and may be readily effected by the viewer.
