FIELD: computer engineering. SUBSTANCE: method involves including command set data and/or command transmission protocol data into remote control data set in preparing data carrier. The data are inputted into remote control device to enable one to form command code or to convert command code into impulse series, respectively. The data are saved in remote control device memory unit. The unit has an additional memory area for command transmission protocol to be saved. The control unit has a write data option for saving command system data and command transmission protocol data. Data input medium surface has at least one field containing N characters of machine-read code with data describing device under remote control. EFFECT: wide range of functional features. 17 cl, 28 dwg, 2tbl
