I have a Magnavox MPD850 with remote. How do I open the remote control to replace the 3V lithium battery?

SOURCE: sound but no picture

I have the same problem. The little white popup button on the upper right of the bottom of the unit when it's open is there to cut off the video if it's closed (i.e. in the event it's plugged into a television). My white button won't pop back up... could be the problem with yours. Wish I had a solution.

Yes, a Philips replacement remote should be an excellent choice for your Magnavox DVD player, since they are sister companies. I am using the inexpensive Philips URC US2-PH5DSS and it works well. Your Philips remote will come with a page with all manufacturer codes listed by the type of device. Or you can visit the Philips URC code lookup website at www.urc.philips.com.

The codes listed for Magnavox DVD players are:
0441, 0442, 0447, 0599, 0799, 0699, 0247, 0193, 0093, 0598 You'll have to try them one at a time to see which works best for your player's functions.

SOURCE: Will any 3V Lithium battery work for the Scout

Any good CR2 battery should work. Try this.....remove the battery cap, then pull out the spring a little bit, Dont break it. Make sure the battery goes in Positive end first. reinstall cap and see what happens. If you can, measure the battery voltage.(2.9 to 3.2 volts)
good luck

SOURCE: need to replace the 3v

• Hello, I have just received your question and wanted to give you an update. In looking at the service manual here is the battery you are needing - 92916717 Battery 3 Volt 0.255 Amp. I am tracking down where to get one and looking at the schematic on installation instructions so please allow me a few minutes for this. I assure I am working only on this at the moment.
