Yes, if you want to get to menus that give you more control over playback.

40 to 50 bucks is about average. Maybe you can find cheaper by looking around. I've got remotes for several old VCR's and TV's from remotes.com. They carry many new, original models, but also offer some cheaper "replacements" which are often more like universal models that sometimes don't match up to all of a unit's functions. I'd rather have an original.
