TCNOUMT replacement remote control for DBPOWER ZC-01 mini DVD players (MD117B/MD115B)
Product description
If your mini DVD player remote has gone missing, cracked, or simply stopped behaving, replacing it is often the quickest fix. This TCNOUMT replacement remote control is built to match the functions you’d expect from the original remote for compatible DBPOWER models, and it’s designed to be straightforward to use from the moment you open the box.
That said, this is one of those purchases where fit matters. The listing itself is pretty clear that not every button/function may be available depending on the exact remote and model. So it’s a practical buy, but it’s not the sort of thing to guess at without checking the pictures and button symbols first.
The essentials
This replacement remote control is intended for DBPOWER mini DVD players, specifically the ZC-01 line, including models listed as MD117B and MD115B. On paper, the main appeal is that it’s meant to “replace like-for-like”: you’re not buying a universal remote and hoping it sorts itself out, you’re buying a targeted replacement that aims to deliver the same functions as the original.
You also shouldn’t need any setup. The remote is described as plug and play: insert 2×AAA batteries (batteries are not included) and it should work straight away. Buttons are made with a soft silicone feel and the design focuses on responsive, tactile control—useful when you’re just trying to pause, play, or navigate without fuss.
Key takeaways
You’ll likely be happiest with this remote if you want a simple, day-to-day replacement for a compatible mini DVD player and you don’t want to deal with programming. The tactile button design is also a small but real comfort factor for everyday use.
Where you may want to slow down is compatibility certainty. The listing asks you to check the remote control picture carefully and pay attention to the button symbol to confirm it matches what you need exactly. Depending on button layout and the specific remote variant, some functions may not be available.
What you’ll notice in use
In practical terms, this remote is for the routine moments: bringing a film back up, skipping through options, or controlling playback without getting up. The soft silicone buttons and the stated responsive design aim to make that feel reliable—less fiddly than harder, less precise buttons.
A micro-scenario: you’re watching a DVD, you want to pause quickly, then resume. Having a replacement that’s designed for “tactile feedback” helps you hit the right controls without staring at the remote.

Strengths and where it can fall short
Strengths: - Built as a targeted replacement, aiming to give the same functions as the original remote for the compatible models. - No programming or setup—just batteries and go. - Durability-focused design with a plastic case and covered battery compartment. - Soft silicone buttons designed for tactile, responsive operation.
Where it can fall short: - Compatibility isn’t “universal”. If your current remote differs slightly, some functions may not work as expected. - Because batteries are not included, you may need to source 2×AAA before it’s ready to use.
Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It suits you if you’ve already got a DBPOWER mini DVD player in the ZC-01 family (MD117B/MD115B listed here) and you want a straightforward replacement remote that doesn’t require learning new controls or setting anything up.
You may want to skip it if you’re missing the original remote and can’t confidently compare the button layout/symbols, or if you’re looking for a broad, one-remote-fits-many solution. In that situation, the “check the picture carefully” warning becomes a real risk factor.
Is it worth it?
Buy it if you can verify your current remote matches the pictures and button symbol on the listing, and you simply want your DBPOWER mini DVD player back under normal control quickly—no programming, just batteries. It’s also a sensible replacement when you’re fine with a direct, model-specific fit rather than experimenting.
Don’t buy it if you’re uncertain about compatibility, because the listing notes that some functions may not be available depending on the button and model. Also, remember batteries aren’t included, so it may not be ready on day one unless you already have 2×AAA to hand.
