A Direct Replacement remote control is not a Genuine/Original remote which is often very expensive, but is also not a Universal Remote.

A Universal remote control is the one which could be programmed in such a way that it controls a huge variety or kinds of components. They are available in various forms ranging from the basic ones to the lower priced models which could be located at the discount stores locally and which are capable of controlling only a few number of devices to the advanced model universal remote controls which can enable the user to control virtually many devices and also allow to set up macros or preset activities. Some might wonder why there is a great need for buying a universal remote control when the components have their own remote controls; some of the reasons for having a universal remote control are given below:

Main reason for using universal remote control is for its ease of use. There are many electronic devices which have difficult settings and configuration that only technically savvy persons can control them, but the universal remote controls available these days, enable the persons to input the devices they have via computer program or programming codes. Once the initial setup is done, the user can intuitively work in controlling all his components easily. Moreover, many of the mid range and high refuge universal remotes enable the users to program macros or activities that with just the touch of a button many components can be activated automatically. For instance, when an universal remote button is hit, a DVD player or Television turns on and sets itself to the right input, bass shaker can be turned on, lights can be dimmed to view the video properly, all just in a single touch of a remote button. When a household has various remote controls for various devices, there is a great chance of losing one or many remote controls. This loss is more in case if the household has many kids. In case of possessing a universal remote control, it can be kept and maintained safely.

Universal remote controls also help in cutting down the number of batteries used in case of many remote controls. This not only saves the user from spending more money on them, but also saves the environment from the hazards of using more and more batteries. Universal remote controls are very intelligent as they are driven by sophisticated and complex software. With their help, even a whole electrical wiring system of a home can be connected to them wirelessly. Once done, the user can reset or set the security alarm, transfer digital photos to the television set, direct MP3 music to the home theatre speakers and so on. Any thing and every thing would be possible and that too at the wish of the user without straining his nerves.
