How to Program Remote Controls to Support Multiple Devices

With so many different electronic devices in our living rooms, it is easy to have several remote controls. There is one for the TV, another for the cable or satellite receiver, one for the sound bar, another for the Blu-ray player, and so on. One thing you can do to eliminate having to reach for a different remote each time you want to use a different device is to program a TV remote control to support multiple devices.

The first thing you need to do is verify the remote control can support multiple devices. If there is a slider switch, or different buttons that are labeled “TV,” “AUX,” “Receiver,” “AV,” or other such labels, this indicates the remote does offer multiple device operation. Keep in mind the number of features and options the single remote can perform may be limited, compared to using the remote which came with the device.

The next thing to do is to program the remote by finding the correct remote control codes. These codes, as well as the specific steps needed to program other devices, can often be found in the owner’s manual for the device. Since there are many electronic device manufacturers and products on the market, each remote control is programmed differently utilizing different steps.
