Finding the best replacement remote control takes time and effort. Contacting the manufacturer, researching online, checking auction sites, and local stores are ways to find a universal remote. Consider cost, programming instructions, and brand trust when making a purchase.
Securing the best replacement remote control for your electronic devices is a process that takes some time and effort. To find the remote that will control all your devices, require little maintenance, and be decently priced, you may need to do some comparison shopping. Fortunately, there are several ways to accomplish this task.
One of the first approaches to consider is to contact the manufacturer of your electronic devices. Assuming your warranty covers a replacement remote, you may not need to do any comparison shopping. However, since many people don’t buy televisions, sound systems, and DVD players from the same manufacturer, it’s doubtful that you can secure a universal remote by contacting the manufacturer. At best, you can get some recommendations for universal remotes set up to work with your devices.
Another strategy is to conduct research online. There are many dealers who sell replacement remotes over the internet. One advantage of this approach is that you can narrow your search by using the names of the companies that made your electronic devices and specifying how many devices you want to control with a single universal remote. If you simply need a TV remote, there will be plenty of options. Even if you want a replacement remote that controls your TV, DVD player and music system, you’ll still find a number of remote control devices to choose from.
Don’t overlook auction sites as you search for a replacement remote. Today, many sellers buy items in bulk from going out of business retailers and offer their products at discounted prices. You can often bid on a replacement remote for a fraction of the retail cost and still get a quality product backed by a manufacturer’s warranty.
If nothing shows up online, try local electronics stores and discount stores in your area. Be sure to read the packaging carefully to confirm that the remote you’re considering will work with all of the devices you have in mind. Also pay close attention to the programming instructions. While many replacement remotes can be programmed with little hassle, some require several steps to set up each individual device. Choose one that offers a simple fix, rather than a remote that requires multiple steps to lock down each device.
In all cases, consider the cost of the replacement remote you select. Some are very cheap in price, but work just as well as other models that are priced higher. Keep in mind that a higher price is not necessarily a guarantee of higher quality. Choose a brand you know and trust, as long as the price is within your budget. Your remote will last longer and you’ll be happier with your purchase in the long run.
