Comments about RadioShack Flat 2-in-1 DVD Remote Control:

Inexpensive to replace. I have 6 small grand children that love to pick up remote controls and lose them. This product is the answer. Put your original remote up and out of the way of the munchkins and for [$] who cares what they spill on them or what

For 10 dollars it is perfect as a replacement remote and I just went to the dollar store 2 days ago and got a three pack of the big watch batteries that power it for a buck!

Comments about RadioShack Flat 2-in-1 DVD Remote Control:

After TWO years of reliable use, I feel qualified to say this is the best remote I have ever purchased. I bought it as a difficult replacement for a Panasonic TV. A daily GEEK in the workplace computing world. Simple, stylish, and works perfectly, gave me creditability beyond explanation. If it works with your equipment you will be pleased, quality and precision is hard to capture. Check my September 2006 consumer positive rating on this product!!

Comments about RadioShack Flat 2-in-1 DVD Remote Control:

we use the remote for a small kitchen tv. i panicked when i realized it had lost its memory of the tv's code because the instruction manual was long gone. BUT i went online and there was the instruction manual under the product support tab at the radioshack web site. it works again just fine.

Comments about RadioShack Flat 2-in-1 DVD Remote Control:

I bought this remote just today after the one that came with the tv/dvd unit gave up the ghost. I've owned dozens of remotes, but have to say this is the nicest by far. It's thin, slick, handy and simple to program. The buttons are logically located. I have small hands though, and can see where a man with large hands might not like it. But that goes along with most newer electronic devices these days- such as the iPhone, iPod, etc. In short, if you don't have huge hands and you like things simple and sleek, this is a remote you'll love.

Comments about RadioShack Flat 2-in-1 DVD Remote Control:

After spending all night trying to get the Phillip's 4-device to work (horrid), I got on the Internet and did research at Radio Shack's site ... and read reviews. This not only came up first; it had the highest ratings ... and cost $5.00 less! I was still leary of it ... until it took me only 90 seconds to set up! And so easy to use. Since I only need it for TV, I'm in love!

RadioShack Sells Better Remotes
By zomgtehshackz! from District 0544, FL on 3/17/2008
Pros:
Strong Signal
Cons:
Keypad not Backlit, Non-Ergonomic Design, VolCh Buttons Awkward
Best Uses:

Comments about RadioShack Flat 2-in-1 DVD Remote Control:

This particular remote isn't very useful for me. I have owned it for a while, consolidating only a television and dvd player. While I purchased it for the novelty of a thin remote, problems accompany that. The most pronounced problem are the location of the channel and volume buttons. If you have medium to big sized hands, you will cramp a thumb every time you try to use them. Whatsmore, the buttons aren't backlit. If you have the tendency to use your remote in the dark, or otherwise low light, you'll get tired of it quickly.One remote I will recommend is 15-2146, a six component remote. This remote, while discontinued, is still available in very many stores because, for whatever reason, it didn't sell very well. It had been discontinued and the price has dropped by twenty dollars down to $14.97. Versus store wholesale cost, I wouldn't expect it to drop any further. At the most, down to [$]when the product finally goes "devalued". Check it out by searching for the # I provided.The only other remotes I would recommend for casual use are the Philips Universal Remotes that are carried in most stores. A few different models are carried, some even available online. They all have an intuitive keypad layout and I believe all have backlit keys. I'm not able to reference these sku numbers as I was unable to find them on the website after a cursory search.Good luck! Get that discontinued remote!

Comments about RadioShack Flat 2-in-1 DVD Remote Control:

I think this remote is great. the reason why i purchased this remote is because i received a very very very old Zenith television but it did not have a remote. This one seemed cheap but nice, since its small and compact.

I love this remote...bought it as a replacement for a used Magnavox TV, and then found it worked beautifully as a replacement for my DVD player too, all in one. It is slim, easy to understand, easy to set up, inexpensive, and actually WORKS. [...] Highly recommended.

By Brian SVerified Reviewer from South Carolina on 9/21/2006
Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Good Value, Reliable

Comments about RadioShack Flat 2-in-1 DVD Remote Control:

Replaced a PANASONIC remote! AWESOME, so very happy I finally find a quality, light, and cheap cost replacement. Worked with my Panasonic CRT TV (EUR501450 remote) your code was 0650, RCA remotes did not. Searched the net and thought I was going to have to buy an expensive rare replacement. THIS REMOTE WAS ""ONLY"" AVAILABLE ONLINE, not in the RADIOSHACK Stores near me!
