What is a replacement TV remote?
A replacement TV remote offers the same functions as your original remote. It may be designed for a specific brand and model, or be universal and work with multiple TV brands.
Why a replacement remote is useful
A replacement remote can be useful, for example:
- when your original remote is lost, broken or worn out;
- when certain buttons no longer work;
- when you’d rather not buy a whole new TV because the remote is faulty;
- when you’re looking for an older-style remote with larger buttons.
How do you find the right model number?
Check the back of your original remote for the model number. It is usually a combination of letters and numbers, such as AKB76037605 for LG or BN59-01175N for Samsung. Compare this number with the product information to make sure you order the right replacement.
