Why can't a tv remote be used to operate a DVD player?

Remote controls are designed to operate with specific devices. Normally, a television remote control will not have the buttons to operate a DVD player. However, some manufacturers have television remote controls with DVD controls built in and a player from the same manufacturer can be controlled by the same remote. In addition, there are several third party remote controls that can be programmed to operate a wide variety of devices allowing one control to operate several different pieces of equipment.


Which type of electromagnetic radiation is used to send signals from a tv remote control?

There are a number of different types of remote controls. As regards those used most around the home, we find that infrared light is the most commonly applied one. Infrared light is light just below the visible spectrum. TV's, DVD players and audio systems usually use this kind of device. They're very common, but there are other types of remote controls in common usage.Remote controls for garage doors, gates and the like use radio waves in the 300 MHz to 400 MHz range. We also see radio waves on frequencies just above 70 MHz used for many remote control (RC) model aircraft and vehicles. Again we see radio waves used in most remote controls for video games. But these operate in the microwave band somewhere around 2.4 GHz, in case you wish to differentiate microwaves from "regular" or lower frequency radio waves.
