The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible - Arthur C. Clarke
With the variety of Universal remote controls to choose from out there it can get a bit confusing in what type of Universal remote to get. It is important to know the two types of Universal remotes so you know how to get the one that will work with your electronics. There are two types of Universal remotes out on the market today. They are you pre programmed and your learning remotes like the Logitech Harmony.
Preprogrammed Remotes
Preprogrammed Universal remotes come with that long list of every electronic manufacturer in the world that makes TV’s, DVD, VCR, CD, even Cable box. You then have to find the right code your type of TV, DVD, VCR, Cable box, and CD. An example would be you have an RCA TV. You then fine RCA on the pamphlets then enter each code till your remote works, then that is the code for your 
TV as you them move on to your next electronic and do the same. It is good to circle that code for sometimes when you change the batteries you have to re enter the code again which can be annoying especially if you did not circle the code. You will have to go through the code search process all over again. If you have a lot of electronic this can be a little taxing, and time consuming.
Learning Remotes
Learning Universal remotes saves you on the finding the right coded process. This might sound wonderful for you dislike punching in those darn codes, but if you are buying your Universal remote for you lost the original one you are out of luck. The learning remotes operate using a zap system. You point your Universal remote at your old remote and it instantly takes the information from the original remote then adds it to the new Universal remote to make it is own.
Logitech Harmony remotes are good examples of these types of learning remotes which also have other enjoyable features. An example is the Logitech Harmony remotes once again can come with an LCD touch screen, and back lighting so you can operate your remote in the dark better.
