5 disc DVD player sony no control remote can I use universal.

Solution
You can use a universal remote. The lower price ones have a three or four digit code that you enter. Make sure that they have Sony CD changer codes before your purchase. The owners manual has a list of the prepreogrammed codes. Sony will have universal remotes but you still have to check on your particular model being listed.
More expensive universal remotes have a database of codes which you download/program the remote with.
This included Logitech, URC, and RTI.
The only way to be sure you will get all the functions of the original remote is to get one. You can often get an original remote online. Search for Sony+model number+remote
