It will do the trick, but I'm not sure if it is the most user friendly remote around. It sometimes has its own ways (it moves in mysterious ways), maybe you should also look to the harmony remote of logitech, it looks more "old fashion" so it might be more suitable.

The screen is large enough and the user interface is pretty straight forward. I suggest that you look in the user manual on the Philps site to see if it is suitable and please read and browse this forum, because this remote is far from ideal (but most people want advanced control, so for simple control it might be perfect)

Best regards,
