I needed this remote to replace the one that originally came with my Phillips Blu-ray player. The other one broke internally after about two years. That was proven after I even put in new batteries and checked the remote against the player.
Buying this remote was a risk because I wasn't fully certain if it was the right one, as another model with similar design was being sold. I put brand new batteries in it the same day I received it and it worked perfectly. I've been using it ever since, and am glad now that I took that risk.
I paid $15 for this remote instead of paying $60 or more for a whole new BD player with remote. Thank you to replacementremotes.com for providing exactly what I needed and for helping me save some money in the process.
