Jumbo Universal Remote Control - Never lose your remote control again

Overview:

Bigger is better when it comes to your remote controls. We've all wasted time searching for the three or four remotes (if not more) that control all our AV devices. Those remotes are usually small and have countless buttons.

The Jumbo Universal Remote is neither small nor confusing, yet it controls up to 8 different devices. At eleven inches tall, the Jumbo Universal Remote is almost impossible to misplace. With its big buttons, this remote control is also easy to use. Setting this large remote control to handle most major AV brands is simple with its device control code search function.

Jumbo Universal Remote Control can't hide in the couch

The Jumbo Universal Remote is roughly four times larger than your average remote control. It features large, soft buttons and the ability to control up to 8 different devices. Basically, you can replace all of your other remotes with this jumbo remote control.

Control up to 8 different devices with this big button remote

The Jumbo Universal Remote is compatible with most major brands of AV devices and can be easily programmed to control up to eight different devices. Like other universal remote controls, the Jumbo Universal Remote control comes with a booklet of codes that you can use to program the device.

If you're concerned about wehther your brand is covered, you shouldn't be. Nearly every major brand of TV, VCR, DVD, Satellite, and Cable Box is listed. Even if you haven't heard of the brand, it's probably covered. For instance, there are 137 different brands of TVs.

Large remote control with big, soft buttons

If you're looking for a big button remote control, you've found it. The large, soft buttons on the Jumbo Universal Remote Control make it incredibly easy to use. After a long day of texting the two people who will actually bother to return a text, I'm happy to use an electronic device whose buttons are clear and simple to use. When I want to change the volume, I like having a large remote control whose volume button is larger than my thumb.

Obviously, a large remote control deserves big buttons.

A somewhat comprehensive list of compatible devices

TVs: We're certain that every brand of TV is covered (there's 137 different ones listed). There are many that we hadn't heard of (such as Starlite, Prism, and Runco), so we're going to assume that yours is listed.

VCRs: I haven't played a VHS tape in a looong time. But, if you've still got some really motivating Richard Simmons workout tapes that you like to watch, there are over 100 different brands of VCR covered.

DVDs: JVC, Magnavox, Mitsubishi, Philips, Pioneer, Proscan, Sony, RCA, and Toshiba are covered. While this may not seem like a lot, we've found that most DVD players' (even if the manufacturer isn't listed here) still respond to one of the codes.

Do you have the code for a particular device?

We didn't feel like typing the hundreds of codes into the computer (can you blame us?), so we got a copy of the manual from the manufacturer in PDF form. Enjoy! Download the Jumbo Universal Remote with Big Buttons PDF
