How to Buy a Universal Remote

By: John T Delven

These days homes are filled with various electronic entertainment units and each one require their own remote to operate them. Universal remotes enable you to control each entertainment unit with just one controller.

Universal Remote Models

There are a wide variety of universal remote controls, ranging in price and functions. At the low end, the remotes will control only the TV and some associated entertainment devices. At the higher end, there are LCD touchscreen models that are able to control a large range of electronic devices such as your PC, stereo and lights.

Codes for the Remotes

Usually, a remote will have codes inbuilt and the user will cycle through them to select the one corresponding to the device to be used.

These codes are usually for a variety of manufacturers and devices. Some remotes are able to "learn". That is, they are able to monitor the signals from the remotes for your devices and insert the codes in to the universal remote.

Programming the Remote

However, for you new remote to work it must somehow know what entertainment gear you have and this is why they must be programed.

Programing a universal remote can be difficult if you do not know what you are doing. Fortunately, more recent versions are much more user friendly.

If you chose manual programming then typically in the remote's instruction book is a list of codes for different manufacturers. You can get remotes where the programming can be done in your PC and downloaded to the remote. While using a universal remote programming solution can seem daunting at first, you'll find that it ultimately makes your use of electronic devices much easier, as well as future proof.

Conclusion

Universal remotes are a great way to make your life easier if you have so many different remotes that you don't know which one is which. They also make a great gift for technical minded individuals.
