After having the original remote RM ED019, like many fast their service, at the often used keys given up, I tried a lot. Original remote opened laboriously cleaned and board and key mat. Then small pieces of aluminum foil glued to the key mat. This has everything does not work long. Then I used a universal remote control. The key assignment was not logical and some functions not available. Well I bought this' Replacement remote control "and have finally again a fully functional remote control. The functions of the keys are indeed different from the Sony RM ED019, but that one has figured quickly. Can only recommend this service any frustrated RM ED019-Bemutzer!
