It’s a very old model, and because of the quality, compatibility, and features, still, in 2023, it has a role in the market. Today, we’ll review it, publish all the working codes, and learn the way to program for different devices.
Philips Universal Remote CL035A Review
Philips CL035A is something old model universal remote control but has a good number of devices supported. Still, it has a demand in the market and is one of the trusted and very high-quality remote controls from Philips.
When I wrote this review in 2021, Philips CL035A had a good number of users, it’s less prone to damage because the body was built with quality material. I can see that it won’t get damaged by simply falling. But as Philips launches new models, this remote has been discontinued a few years ago.
But the remote is still available on some old E-commerce platforms and in some well-known resellers. You may find it still listed on E-bay, Amazon, etc.
Design
Look at the design of the Philips CL035A. Very old age look with all the needed keys there.
What I have felt on viewing this remote is the number keys and other functional keys. All the keys are big, so this is very convenient to use for elder people. The partially blind person can identify the keys because the numbers are letters are labeled very thick.
Materials used in manufacturing this CL035A remote are very hard. Very long-lasting materials of plastic and fiber. You no longer need a protective cover. But it’s beneficial to use a protector like the remote flip or cover to give extra life.
Connectivity
Philips CL035A is an infrared-based remote control. No other connectivity like RF, or Bluetooth not supported. You can leave up to a 12-meter distance from your device and control it.
Pros
- Built with high-quality and long-lasting materials
- Programming is very easy
- Easy to use for elderly people at your home
- Less prone to damage (Even dropped in water)
Cons
- Programmable only one device
- heavyweight
- It has no feature to control streaming players like Roku, firestick, etc
- Manual code entering for programming is a little bit difficult, prefer the auto code search method
