Good luck finding the remote you need. You probably won't.


The news is not that grim....

There are plenty of companies that distribute compatible remotes for
sets that are not covered by the dollar shop universals, say for strange
additional button requirements.

http://www.classic-serviceparts.com is one such company here in the UK.
There must be equivalents where the OP is.

There are also companies that make universal remotes like 'One 4 all'
that can have buttons custom programmed using phone services or even
connection to a PC.

There are infra red learning remotes that, if you can get access to
another handset, can be programmed similary with the matching codeset of
the original. Finally, a PDA or mobile phone with infra red can be
programmed likewise to act as a remote.
