I am very happy with this remote control. It had to be special ordered, but it was well worth the wait. It is a brand new remote.The format of this remote is different from the original, but that was not a problem. It works perfectly out of the package. No programming was needed. I tested the different function buttons on the remote, and they all worked great! Replacement Remotes is an excellent company to do business with. Their prices are reasonable, and the service is great. I have ordered remote controls from them in the past, and have been very happy with the remote controls that I have purchased. If I need to purchase any replacement remotes in the future, Replacement Remotes/Dan's Electronics, will be the company that I will order from. Thank you!
