Philips SRU7140 4-in-1 Universal Remote Control [Compact Slider Style Remote]

Whilst invariably not especially something to get particularly excited about, universal remotes are nether the less becoming increasingly invaluable in an age where our coffee tables are littered with numerous devices and, when it comes to universal remotes, few – with the complete exception of the utterly glorious Bang & Olufsen Beo5 – are quite as aesthetically pleasing – or as compact – as the Philips SRU7140 4-in-1 Universal Remote.

Billed as offering compatibility with over 1200 brands of TVs, DVD players, set top boxes and receivers as well as being capable of learning commands from other remotes for maximum compatibility without the need for overly tedious programming, the 31-key Philips SRU7140 takes the compact form of a slider making it somewhat less obtrusive than other ‘brick like’ universal remotes and not only does it look good, its also splash proof and offers a range of up to 7 meters.

The Philips SRU7140 4-in-1 Universal Remote Control is now available for around a not unreasonable £35 (which equates to around €43/$55).
