When configuring your remote for the various machines it will control, you will first need to gather all of your equipment's information. Brand names and model numbers will usually suffice, as you will often be given a list of equipment descriptions with your remote's instruction manual. Often, each piece of equipment will have a corresponding code to enter into the remote control. This can be time consuming and it is very important to follow each step closely. Otherwise, you may have to enter many codes again. Some modern universal remotes, such as those from Logitech's Harmony series like the Logitech Harmony Remote Control, offer a simpler route. Instead of manually configuring the codes, you simply connect the remote to the computer with a USB port and download the information.
