IIRC Zenith had optic remotes where you would aim and shine a light at various targets on the set to actuate the various functions.

Then later they came up with various sonar-type systems involving a hammer mechanism in the remote that would strike a chime bar, or create a whistle.

I rember a chum of my younger brother that was able to make my grampa's old Space Command Zenith change channels by screaming at the set...
