What You Should Know Before Buying a Universal Remote Control

By Mick Karrass


So you want to get rid of all of these remote controls in the house? Are you repeatedly trying the wrong remote for a device, or maybe hunting for the remote that works? Probably it is time to invest in a universal remote control to replace the many remote controls in your home. This would simplify your life, help you to save money on batteries and look after mother nature. If you routinely use five or even more remote controls, a reliable universal remote control would be a good investment.

You may be wondering, which remote control can I use, regardless of how many more gadgets I get in the future? Which universal remote will be easy to work with and setup, and continue to stay current?

Today, I would like to reveal to you what to consider when purchasing a sophisticated remote control:

An excellent variety of brands and models is available in the shops and on the Internet. At the same time, completely new producers come out with remote controls that give the well-known brands a run for their money.

Fortunately, the more expensive universal remotes aren't necessarily the best ones. Rather than exclusively focusing on brands, you need to focus on usability, functions that ultimately work for you, and a bit of enjoyment while using the remote control.

Listed below are the important features I believe you need to check when selecting the universal remote control for your TVs and other products:

* You'll need your universal remote to offer the largest possible selection of component codes in the database, allowing you to really operate all makers and devices. Excellent universal remote controls include several thousand different codes and may be programmed to manage as much as 15 unique products.

* Inspect the layout of the remote control: It needs to be very easy to hold as well as have illuminated keys, so you can use it in the dark. For added comfort, go for an advanced universal remote featuring a color screen. The best remotes also have a touch screen.

* Smart remote controls feature a learning mode, allowing you to control even models which aren't part of their database. This is cool because you can rest assured that this remote generally remains up to date even if the supplier goes out of business. In addition, you can handle outdated hardware including VCD and VCR players.

* Your remote control should feature updatability over the internet or through a home PC. Remotes allowing an online hookup typically get the most up-to-date model codes straight from the company.

The best universal remote controls I have come across come with a touch screen. The touch screen makes it simple to jump to your most-watched programs and activate numerous appliances at the same time. With one button, it is possible to switch on all devices to listen to music or watch a movie
