FAQ:

Q: What is the difference between Original, Replacement or Universal remote controls?

• Original remote controls are the same as supplied with your electronic device from new.

• Replacement remote controls are made by a third party company, they will look different to your original handset, but will perform all functions as your original unit, including access to menu, tuning, installation, etc. Various manufacturers of replacement remote controls compete between themselves what keeps the price low. That is why replacement remote controls are much cheaper than original handsets.

• Universal remote controls designed to replace a clutter of remotes with a single handset. You will be able to operate your TV, VCR, Cable box, Satellite box or HiFi from the same single handset. However, universal remote controls will operate only basic functions what you would normally use on a daily basis (like changing programs and increasing/decreasing volume for TVs, or PLAY/STOP/REWIND for videos).
  Universal remote controls come pre-programmed to cover about 99% of models available on the UK market. In order to operate your particular model, you must first enter the correct ID code for your brand as per instructions supplied. This is done only once when you buy your universal remote control from new.
