What is a "remote control"?
A remote control is a device used to operate electronic equipment from a distance without needing to touch the device. It typically works using infrared signals or radio waves to send commands to the equipment, such as a television, sound system, or air conditioner. A remote control has buttons that allow users to change settings like volume, channel, or temperature. It is commonly used for convenience, making it easier to control devices from across the room without getting up.
