What is worse, they have reversed (left to right) the position of the chanel change and volume control buttons from every other Sony remote I have, some going back 12 years, dumb, very dumb. And they could have give them different shapes to give you a clue in the dark since they are not backlit, bumb, very dumb. Also it does only basic functions and does not work well with older Sony units since the codes changed about 8 years ago. (They had the memory but did not care about older component users).
