The dates are on the manual, and in the printed index.

I didn't download it.

You were lucky on those batteries. I've had batteries in heavy use remotes that still had years left before expiring...The remote went dead while I was using it, I opened it up to replace the batteries, and much to my shock the batteries were leaking!..And it looked like they had just started.

That's one reason I only use lithium batteries in remotes that use AA or AAA cells. They cost a king's ransom (well, not exactly), but they last a heck of a long time and seem to hold up well. The remote that came with my 1987 Sony contained off-brand batteries of unknown age. Apparently that TV was also out of service for years. Again, the batteries were working, not leaking, but removed. Two of my mom's remotes were destroyed by leaking batteries.

Hopefully someone with a Sams subscription could help you then. Unfortunately I don't have one.

thanks.

What's the screen size in that anyway? Kind of hard to tell from the photos. Looks like one of the larger "portables", the only thing qualifying it as being portable being the handle.

Man, that thing is sweet! The wood cabinet is a big bonus too!
