Editing Remote Control

== Overview ==
Separate sets were sold, either for consoles with or without integrated IR receiver. The latter always came with an IR-receiver and a DVD player update disc to add software support for the remote control.
== Model numbers ==
* SCPH-10150
** Remote control for use with the SCPH-10160 IR receiver
* SCPH-10160
** IR receiver for use with the SCPH-10150 remote control. Plugs into a controller port.
* SCPH-10420
** Remote control for use ''only'' on consoles with integrated IR receiver (SCPH-5X0XX and all slim consoles). Can also remotely open/close the disc tray (not on slim consoles, since their disc doors are purely mechanical) and turn on/off the console via two additional buttons.

== Bundles ==
* SCPH-18000 (PS2 console)
** Japan-only
** Released on December 8th, 2000
** All SCPH-18000 consoles (A+ and AB-chassis) came bundled with the SCPH-10150 remote control as well as the SCPH-10160 IR receiver. These consoles also have DVD player 2.00 installed in ROM, which supports the remote control out of the box.
** Buying a SCPH-18000 PS2 console is indeed the first way the official remote control became available to end users.

* SCPH-10170
** Released on December 22nd, 2000
** Japanese bundle containing remote control (SCPH-10150), IR receiver (SCPH-10160), batteries and DVD player install/update disc 2.01 (and maybe newer versions later on?). Released in Japan in December 2000.
** Meant for use with SCPH-10000 and SCPH-15000 PS2 consoles, since SCPH-18000 consoles already included the remote control.

* SCPH-10171
** North American bundle containing remote control (SCPH-10150), IR receiver (SCPH-10160), batteries and DVD player install/update disc 2.10, 2.12 or 2.14.

* SCPH-10172
** European bundle containing remote control (SCPH-10150), IR receiver (SCPH-10160), batteries and DVD player install/update disc 2.10 or 2.14.

* SCPH-10173
** Australian bundle containing remote control (SCPH-10150), IR receiver (SCPH-10160), batteries and DVD player install/update disc 2.10 or 2.14.

* SCPH-10420 (+ region suffix, e.g. J for Japan, U for US and E for Europe)
** Released concurrently to SCPH-5X0XX
** Bundle containing the SCPH-10420 remote control (''only'' for SCPH-5X0XX and up) with some batteries. No IR receiver and no DVD player install/update disc are included, since these are not needed for operation.

== Trivia ==
Early third party PS2 remote controls were available months before the release of the original remote control in Japan. However, their buttons only map directly to DualShock 2 buttons with no additional features. This is because at the time, no DVD player versions supporting any extra features were available.
