Does anybody know a good place/way to replace a remote control for a stereo cheap?

Jun 10, 2012 8:17 PM

I have a Panasonic SC-HC55 mini stereo system and I need to replace the remote. Does anybody know where I could get one? Does anybody have enough experience with universal remotes to know if they actually work these days? I know in the past they weren't very good covering all the functions you'd need beyond volume & changing channels.

This is the unit I have: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-SC-HC55-Compact-Stereo-System/dp/B004MME6SE

Have you checked Amazon?

Thanks for the sites. They both at least seem to offer the remote i need so that's a start. And yes, I checked Amazon but it seems they don't want to sell me just the remote. :o\

Have you tried calling the company's CS department about a replacement? Some companies will just send you a new one, or at least let you know if you can replace it at a low cost.

I know you are looking for "Cheap" but conisder a logitech Harmony remote. They aren't that expensive and will work with any Infrared device. They are fully customizable as well. Since they are universal, you can use the remote elsewhere (such as with your home theater or other components - or a new stereo down the road).

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
