●Multiple Device Control: Universal remotes can typically control multiple devices, and users
can switch between devices with the push of a button or by selecting different device modes.
●Function Buttons: The remote typically includes buttons for commonly used functions like
power, volume, channel, input source, play, pause, stop, and navigation.
●Backlit Buttons: Some universal remotes have backlit buttons for easy use in low-light
conditions.
●Macro Programming: Advanced universal remotes often support macro programming, allowing users
to create sequences of commands executed with a single button press. For example, you could
program a "watch TV" macro that turns on the TV, cable box, and sound system with one button press.
●Setup and Code Entry: Setting up a universal remote typically involves entering a specific code for
each device you want to control. The user manual for the remote provides instructions on how to do
this.
●Battery Operation: Universal remotes are typically powered by batteries, so it's important to ensure
the batteries are properly installed and have sufficient charge.
●Volume Punch-Through: Some universal remotes offer volume punch-through, which means that
regardless of the device you're controlling (e.g., a DVD player or cable box), the volume control
buttons will always adjust the volume on your TV.
