THIS IS OUR 3RD ONE!

Apr 4, 2007 - By Lyndsay Baker (OKC, OK)

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME WE HAVE BOUGHT THIS REMOTE AND WILL BE BUYING ONE MORE! THE BUTTONS ARE EASY TO FIND AND PROBABLY THE EASIET REMOTE TO PROGRAM I HAVE EVER PURCHASED! IT HAS WORKED FOR ALL OF MY TVS AND OTHER ELECTRONICS. EVEN THE REALLY OLD ONES! I HAVE EVEN REPLACED 1 REMOTE THAT CAME WITH THE TV WITH THIS ONE BECUASE I LIKE THEM SO MUCH!!

Great Remote!

Dec 26, 2007 - By Shari

I got this to replace my old universal remote (also a Philips, but a different model). The old one never worked right for my DVD player... so I wasn't expecting this one to, either - but it does! Programming it was a BREEZE... I was done in about a minute, and that's for all three components I wanted to use it for. It's also attractive, slimline and classy looking - and the buttons are big and easy to see, but not ridiculously huge or garish looking. Overall, I'm really happy with this remote. And hurray for Sleep Mode... It even works on my old TV that doesn't have a sleep mode of its own. Woot!

It works great

After using the remote for a few weeks now, here are my thoughts: (a) it works; (b) it's light; and (c) it has a slim profile. Unfortunately, I could not say the same for my previous Sony and RCA universal remotes. Highly recommended.

Extremely Inconvenient

Jun 20, 2008 - By K. Vasey

I bought this remote to replace a very cheap Radio Shack remote. After using it for a day, I'm putting my batteries back in the Radio Shack remote. We watch a lot of DVDs, and the DVD controls are terrible. In order to use the DVD menu controls, you need to press a 'menu in/out' button. Once you press this, the controller light starts flashing, and it gives you a certain amount of time to make your selection. In other words, if you think your kids are going to use this to pick through the menus on their DVDs, think again.

didnt work for me.....

Sep 28, 2007 - By Sam Kurien (Ft Lauderdale)

This remote did not work right with my dvd/surround sound system. I tried every code there was for my model and the best I got was for "play" to work, but nothing else. Im just going to order one from Philips to replace the one my daughter threw in the trash when no one was looking....sigh*
