London, 5 March 2008 – The every day remote control is something most Britons know well and many of us have come to rely on. Yet do we really know even half of its capabilities or what those many little buttons really do?

In a recent survey conducted by Swedish consumer electronics company Doro, it was found that almost half of Brits (45 percent) find television remotes confusing. This was also much higher (63 percent) in audiences aged 60 and over.

The survey - which also found that every second Brit only uses a maximum of six remote buttons – coincides with the launch of one of the world’s simplest remote controls – which boasts only the most essential buttons.

“The Doro HandleEasy 321rc is specifically designed for a senior audience and people with limited dexterity, but is also perfect for anyone who craves a simple remote control, free from the many extra fiddly buttons we barely ever use!” says Chris Millington, MD Doro UK.

“The survey highlighted that over 50 percent of us don’t even come close to using all the buttons on a standard remote and this is higher in the over-60 age group. The Doro HandleEasy 321rc is such a simple solution for everyone. It learns the functions you want to allocate to each button and controls any remote control television, stereo or even radio.”

The Doro HandleEasy 321rc remote control (SSP £19.99) is available now alongside three other Doro Care products – the MemoryPlus 309dp photo button dial pad (SSP £24.99), MemoryPlus 319ph amplified telephone (SSP £39.99) and RingPlus ringer amplifier alerter (SSP £24.99) at www.argos.co.uk and in Argos stores nationwide.
