You can program a universal remote control to run pretty much any of your entertainment devices. A little extra time and money spent on a universal control can give you control over your entire home theater experience without having to juggle several remotes. Programming the universal remote control is easier than it might seem and takes just a few simple steps.
Instructions
1. Read the instruction manual. Most remotes will be set up in one of two ways: Some remotes may have a point-and-press feature built into them to help you determine the programming codes for a certain device. Others require you to manually program codes for your devices into the remote. Your remote should come with a list of codes.
2. Identify the appropriate programming code for your device (DVD player, television, etc.). Enter the code for the device, and press "Save" or "Enter."
3. Test the functionality of the device with the universal remote. Depending on the different makes and models, some features or functions may by incompatible with some devices.
4. Repeat this process with all desired devices.
