I bought this remote control as a substitute to a new 42-inch Panasonic plasma FS because I made the experience that its predecessor the original remote control (then UNIVERSE) showed signs of wear after some time. Replacement in the original is very expensive. This part here corresponds fully to my expectations. Batteries pure, turn - works. (No programing needed) Should show signs of wear now, a new purchase at the price is not a problem. The operation corresponds to the structure of the original almost. The "info-button" is placed in a different spot, everything else like original. Keys are slightly smaller, but operable. Works - but only for a short time - good. For longevity, no statement possible. The only drawback: It can not be called with this part of the EPG. For this I must resort to the original remote control. Conclusion: Good, practical for everyday use and especially inexpensive replacement. For around zapping sufficient. Value for money very good.
