What happens when merchandise comes back off rent without the original remote?

Anyone who has ever delivered a piece of rental electronics has had to deal with "finding the right remote." The ever-increasing sophistication of consumer electronics has made "finding the right remote" even more frustrating - Codes, aspects ratios, PIP, zoom, guides, angles, inputs - these are just a few of the remote-controllable features found on today's TV's, DVD players and audio units that rent-to-own customers expect to work on their newly-rented merchandise.

What happens when merchandise comes back off rent without the original remote? Or the remote comes back broken? Inexpensive universal remotes can no longer replace original remotes on high-tech electronics without losing much of the unit's functionality. And replacement original remotes are usually very expensive.

Charlie Waters, Customer Service Director for Mr. Remote Controls, a company that specializes in original remote control models for TV, DVD, and audio consumer electronics, can help the Rent to Own dealer. "We carry 39,000 different original remote control models," said Waters. "We get extraordinary deals on original remotes because of our buying power. We also purchase original remotes from manufacturer overstock and we pass the tremendous savings to the RTO dealer through discounted prices."

According to Waters, "Since 1987 we've built an extensive remote control database which gives us the ability to substitute remotes from one model to another without losing any functionality. This is just another way we can save RTO dealers money on remotes. I invite all rent-to-own dealers to find out how they can order replacement original remotes even far below our already discounted website pricing."
