Love the back lit remote. Much easier to use at night. No need to turn lights on to find the button you're looking for.

Works better than my original as far as transmitting a signal. With the older remote I was able to completely control my flat screen as well. With this I can only turn it on and off and adjust the volume. That's not so good when I want to turn on my sleep timer.

My wife recently "lost" the original remote. This is an excellent replacement. The original remote was found, but we like that this one is backlit, so its used primarily.

Very happy with this remote. The infrared operation works great - no need to point directly at the device. The lighted feature is a nice touch during dark hours.
