The remote on this machine is not working. Is there a way to tell if it the Remote or the receiver on the player. New batteries don't help. It's an SD-250 remote. Can this be bought anywhere other than Apex. They want $23. Is there a Universal that will replace it.

BTW, this player won't play Imation DVD+RW discs. Are there any DVD+RW discs it will play.

Thanks,

Sherm
