From the Manufacturer
Play your favorite movies without any wires or other hassles! Modeled to match the sleek design of the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the DVD Remote has all the features of a standard controller plus enhanced DVD capabilities.

Discover even more DVD features with an updated version of the PlayStation 2 DVD driver for use with the DVD Remote Control--Slow Motion, Chapter Program, A=B Repeat, Shuffle, Repeat, and Three-Speed Scan are all accessible at the push of a button, as are all of the basic PlayStation 2 DVD functions such as Audio Track selection, Subtitle display, and Multi-Angle options.

Two new buttons, the "Open/Close" button (opens and closes the disk tray from the remote) and the "Reset" button (duplicates the function of the Reset button located on the front of the PlayStation 2 console) have been added to the DVD remote design.

Label text for the "Title" and "DVD Menu" buttons on the old remote has been changed to "Top Menu" and "Menu" respectively on the new remote. Functionality of these buttons remains unchanged.

The new DVD remote (model SCPH-10420) will not be compatible with PlayStation 2 consoles having model numbers beginning with SCPH-30xxx, SCPH-35xxx, or SCPH-39xxx unless you already have an IR receiver (SCPH-10160). For PlayStation 2 console model numbers SCPH-30001 and SCPH-35001, you will need a copy of the DVD remote control software disc and a Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation 2).

If you already own the IR receiver (and software disc where necessary), the new remote may offer similar functionality to their old remote control unit. However, the 'Open/Close' and 'Reset' buttons on the new remote will not function.

The IR receiver and software disc will not be available as a stand-alone package or individually.

Additional information:

A Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation 2) (sold separately) is required to use the DVD remote control with console model numbers SCPH-30001 and SCPH-35001GT.

Customer Reviews

Only for newer PS2's
I haven't used this remote, so ignore the star rating above. I am writing just to inform people that this remote only works for newer PS2's: those with an IR receiver between the power button and the eject button. (I had to find this out the hard way, ordering this product only to discover that it was incompatible with the PS2 I had; I figured I should save other people from going through the hassle I did.)

As explained on the package of this remote, it does NOT work with PS2's that have model number SCPH-30001, SCPH-35001 GT, SCPH-30001 R, SCPH-39001, SCPH-39001/N, or SCPH-39010/N. To identify the model number of your system, refer to the label on the system rear or left side panel.

new vs. old
simply put, this is a great product, if it doesnt work with your ps2, its because you have an "old" one. that doesnt make this a bad product. i own own(and a slim ps2) and it works just fine. better than all the reviews i've seen claim.

incorrect product description - note!!!
This remote is NOT as described; this is an identical remote to the $10 one available from Amazon directly and does NOT include the IR kit as pictured and described. I want my money back!
