Why didn't I do this sooner? My old remote had so many buttons not working anymore and then I had to practically be a bodybuilder to get the record button to work. This remote arrived and everything worked perfect immediately!!! I couldn't believe I spent so many months fighting with the old remote. My life is so much easier now when I go to record. I didn't think I could get a replacement remote because my dvd recorder is so old. Thrilled I could get the exact remote.
