 She puts "down the remote."  她放下“遥控器”。 


The remote, "remote," is the same as the remote control,  遥控器,“遥控”意思是远程控制,
and that's the little thing you use to change channels  你用它来换频道。
- to flip 1 through the channels, means the same thing, to change channels - to flip through.   ——同样,浏览频道,就是换频道。
It's also what you use to increase the volume - make it louder - or decrease the volume -make it quieter.  你也可以用遥控器来增加音量——让声音大一点——或者降低音量——让声音小一点。

To thumb through, "thumb" through (two words) means to look at a magazine or a newspaper,  翻阅,意味着看一本杂志或者一份报纸, 
but you're not looking at it very closely.   但并没有很仔细地看。
