Programming Tips for Remote Controls

If you’re getting ready to set aside your collection of remote controls and use the universal TV remote codes to simplify your life, you may as well take things a few steps further. You’re looking to simplify your life, so why not do it all at once, instead of forgetting to do it altogether?

Program One Device at a Time

It is completely feasible to put multiple devices on one remote, but it may be easier if you concentrate on doing everything you need to do on one device before moving to the next one. Using this method helps keeps things simple, but it also helps you avoid putting off some of the things you wanted to do with other devices, like the ones listed below.

  • Set parental controls on all devices. Let’s face it: Your kids probably know every workaround there is, so they have no problem getting to channels through a DVD player or other device that they can’t get to through the television. Make sure parental controls are set on all devices.
  • Install apps now instead of waiting until you want to use one. You can keep things simple by installing all of your apps on one device, but, at the same time, it doesn’t hurt to have a backup plan by putting them on two devices.
  • Get connected to all the things you plan to use. Those speakers that have been sitting in a box? May as well hook them up now.

Once all of your devices are programmed and set up, you won’t have to worry about kids accessing things they shouldn’t, or the whole family not getting the media experience they should. From programming your Zenith universal remote to mounting that last speaker on the stand, make this a time of media development!
