Even if you find the right remote, you are stuck with the manufactuars remotes for the rare readjusting/setup functions not on your universal.

Try to get a universal in a different color than the rest (i.e. silver if all your current factory remotes are black).

I've seen silver, gold, and clear plastic colored remotes. Forget trying to get it to match your system. Get one that stands out so you won't be constantly picking up the wrong remote or unable to find one hidden in your sofa cracks.

Actually, there are many of us how have totally programmed our universals to operate every single function for every device in our system, so our OEM remotes are usually in a box in the basement.

OEM = "Original Equipment Manufacturer"

So when I refer to an OEM remote, I mean the remote that came with your original equipment.
