The Universal remote that came with my RCA VCR broke a couple of months ago. My VCR is five or six years old. Now I can't access the menu to program the thing. What Im looking for is a cheap (under $100.00) remote that will let me access the program menu so I can set the timer to pre-record and turn on the commercial skip feature. Any recomendtations?

Thanks

Fletcher,
Try www.mcmelectronics.com Also, you can buy a new RCA VCR for less than $100.00

Go to WalMart, or any similar discount store with an electronics department (area). RCA makes several "universal" remotes that can control several devices. Any RCA brand universal remote should have a code in it to work your VCR. You shouldn't have to spend more than $20. Other brands of universal remotes should also work your RCA VCR. Usually they have a list of the supported devices on the back of the packaging. Check to make sure the RCA brand is included.

I recently bought an out-of-box RCA TV at walmart. Since they couldn't find it's original remote, they gave me an RCA 3-in-1 universal off the shelf. Works great.
