Abstract

A system for providing a universal remote control feature for consumer electronics devices is shown in figure 3. The method includes selecting existing remote control (20) for remotely controlling a first consumer electronics device using a first device control code (24) and storing the first device control code and a second device control code within a second consumer electronics device (28). The method further includes a step for converting the first device control code into the second control code (30) when using the existing remote control to control the second consumer electronics device. A system for performing the method is also shown.
