I assumed that I would receive a working remote WITH a programming/menu function,and since there were no "choices" listed (w/ or w/o menu)I expected a FULLY functioning remote, not a "bare bones" one. If I can't program my VCR with it.........it is functionally useless to ME. A $7 paperweight. If you have a Magnavox remote with a programming function I would gladly return the one you sent and pay any additional (reasonable) price for a FULLY functioning one. Thank You, Don Silva
