  function doKeyEventUp(evt)
  {

  switch (evt.key)
  {
  case 0xFA:
  // Do stuff for VK_PLAY
  break;
  case 0xB3:
  // Do stuff for VK_PAUSE
  break;
  }
  evt.stopPropagation();
  evt.preventDefault();
  }

  addEventListener("controller_key_up", doKeyEventUp, false);
  
  This is pretty simplified. I'd normally have a set of variables VK_PLAY etc assigned to the key values for readability. You can find the values in Annex V. You can also experiment with controller_key_up and controller_key_down, I can't remember offhand which is better for catching all keys.

  The stopPropagation() and preventDefault() stops the key from moving on through the system and alllows you to override default behaviours.

  There's a section on Controller Key Events in Annex Z.5.3, and generic events in Z.6
