A remote control is a small device that allows you to operate electronic devices from a distance. Most commonly used for televisions, remote controls have buttons that let you change channels, adjust the volume, and turn the device on or off. They use infrared signals or radio waves to communicate with the device, making it easy to control your entertainment without getting up. In addition to TVs, remote controls can also be used for other devices like DVD players, sound systems, and even smart home devices. Some modern remotes come with touch screens or voice control features, making them even more user-friendly and versatile.
