TV Set Has Chairside Control
This new RCA Victor projection-type television set features a remote-control box that lets you adjust brightness and contrast without leaving your chair. Usually available in the past only as custom equipment, the unit, with its connecting cord, permits continual adjustment of these controls from up to 25 feet from the set.
Back when the brightness and contrast changed far more often than the channel.

To fluffy: In those days there was rarely more than one channel anyway. Remember vertical and horizontal hold? That would keep you busy enough with the remote box!
