Regular remotes vs Bar code remotes

Archived from groups: alt.video.laserdisc (More info?)

I'm thinking of buying this remote http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d [...] 6322506086 for my pioneer laserdisc player but am unsure of what the difference is exactly between using one of these and using the regular remote. My remote is currently sitting in several pieces after being used as a chew toy by my golden retriever. Any thoughts? Or is there a good cheap universal remote that anyone can recommend? I'm too paranoid to ask the seller.

If you don't have a double sided player, then the one below is preferable
since it can select the various audio channels and can turn your unit on and
off.

If you have a double sided player, shop around for one with the A & B
buttons.

What model is your player or remote?

Pioneer still sells many remotes new on their website. Some are reasonably
priced.
