Understanding the Different Kinds of Remotes

There are many different types of remote controls available. Knowing some of the types of remotes available will help you know which type of replacement you need when a remote control fails. The most common type of remote control has a lot of buttons. Each button operates a specific function of your device. Hospitality remotes have fewer buttons than standard remotes, and you will often find these kinds of remotes in hospitals and waiting rooms. It is important to remember, when buying a replacement, that all remote controls are different. You will need to know the brand and model of your device if you want to find an exact replacement.

If you do not know the brand and model of your device, you can always opt for a universal remote. These types of remotes are made to be programmed to operate multiple devices from one remote. Universals help eliminate the need for several remotes in your hand – you can use your TV, DVD player, and stereo from one remote control! When ordering a replacement remote, know which type of remote you need – a standard, exact duplicate; a streamlined hospitality remote; or a universal remote.
