Many people think that all remotes are the same and will fit any TV. But, unfortunately, they are wrong, because almost every model of TV or DVD device has its own dedicated remote control. Of course, you can pick up the same brand of remote control that you had before, but this does not guarantee that all functions will be supported. In order to choose the right remote control for your TV, you need to follow these steps.
Instructions
Step 1
In the event that you have a broken remote control, then on its case you need to find a marking on which the name of the model will be written. You can find the markings: on the front side, on the back cover, under the battery cover. There are times when there may be no marking on the remote control. Then you need to know the TV model. When you are thinking of buying a new remote control, be sure to take the broken one - this will significantly save your time and money.
Step 2
If you don't have a remote at hand, then you need to find the manual for your TV. Usually, it should contain comprehensive information about the remote control model.
Step 3
If you do not have a remote control, manual, and the model is not written on the TV, then try asking friends or neighbors for the TV remote control to check them on your device. Some remotes use the same chips and commands, so they are interchangeable. If this does not help, then you need to buy a Mak Maxim universal remote control. The advantage of this remote control is that it has the most complete list of replaceable equipment. You can also take your TV to any specialty store and pick up the remote control there.
