N2QAYB001077 Genuine Remote Control for Panasonic DMR-HWT Series Recorders, Replacement Panasonic Recorder Handset

N2QAYB001077 is a genuine Panasonic remote control assembly listed for the DMR-HWT series of Panasonic recorders. It replaces a handset that has gone missing, stopped working or simply worn out from daily use. The model code is printed on the recorder itself, usually on the back panel or underneath. Make sure yours starts with DMR-HWT before ordering N2QAYB001077.

Replacing a faulty Panasonic recorder remote

A recorder is hard work without its remote, as the menus, recording schedules and playback controls are all designed around the handset. Remotes tend to fail in a few familiar ways. Batteries leak and corrode the contacts, rubber button pads wear through so the most used buttons stop working, or a drop cracks the case or the circuit board inside. Before buying a new one, fit fresh batteries and try the buttons on the front of the recorder itself. If the recorder works from its own buttons but ignores the remote even with new batteries, the handset is the part at fault.

Getting the new remote going

Insert new batteries, matching the polarity marks inside the battery compartment. Point the remote at the front of the recorder and try power, menu and the arrow keys. If nothing happens, check the recorder's setup menu for a remote control code setting, which many Panasonic recorders have, and make sure the remote and recorder are set to match.
