Topfield TRF-7160 replacement remote for TRF7170, TRF-7260PLUS and TPR5000 PVRs
Topfield recorders this remote operates
This replacement handset is built for the Topfield TRF-7160 and drives a solid list of the brand's personal video recorders: the TF7100HD PVRt Plus, TRF-7160 PVR, TRF-7260 PVR, TRF7170 PVR, TRF-7260PLUS PVR, TPR5000 PVR and the TF-G9700. Topfield recorders earned a loyal following in Australia for their twin tuners and recording flexibility, and many are still running daily, long after their original remotes wore out. Matching the model number printed on the front or base of your recorder against that list is all the checking required. The packing list is simple, one remote control, and at $18.75 it is a small price to bring a capable recorder back into daily rotation.
No programming, just insert a battery
The unit is a straight infrared replacement, which means there is no pairing sequence, no code tables and no setup menus; fit a fresh battery and it communicates with the recorder immediately. That makes it a practical fix for households where the original handset has unresponsive buttons or has gone missing entirely. Anyone wanting a backup at the same time can pick up the Topfield PVR Remote TRF-7160 2 Pack for TRF7170, which puts a second identical handset in the drawer for later.
Keeping an older home theatre usable
A dead remote is usually what retires an otherwise healthy PVR, since most Topfield functions are impossible from the front panel alone. Replacing the handset is far cheaper than replacing the recorder and keeps years of saved recordings accessible. While sorting out the lounge room, it is worth auditing the other handsets in the cabinet: our range includes the Panasonic Blu-ray DVD Remote for DMP-BD75 DMP-BD755 and the Foxtel TV Remote for Standard Q IQ2 IQ3 IQ4, so one order can refresh the whole entertainment unit. Topfield owners tend to keep their machines for the recording archive alone, and a working handset also restores access to timer setup, so upcoming series keep being captured instead of silently lapsing when the old remote died.

Frequently asked questions
Which Topfield models does the TRF-7160 remote suit?
It is compatible with the TF7100HD PVRt Plus, TRF-7160 PVR, TRF-7260 PVR, TRF7170 PVR, TRF-7260PLUS PVR, TPR5000 PVR and TF-G9700. Check the model number on your recorder's front panel or underside label against that list. If your Topfield appears there, this handset replicates the original remote's functions without any extra configuration.
Do I need to program the remote to my Topfield PVR?
No programming is needed at all. The remote is an infrared unit that works as soon as a brand new battery is installed, because it transmits the same IR commands the recorder already understands. There are no codes to enter and no pairing steps, which keeps the swap simple for anyone replacing a lost or broken original handset.
Is this an original Topfield remote or a replacement?
It is a new aftermarket replacement made to operate the same models as the original TRF-7160 handset. The button layout covers the recorder's functions, including the controls needed for playback and timer recordings that cannot be reached from the unit's front panel. For most owners it restores full use of the PVR at a fraction of the cost of sourcing a genuine spare.
How long will delivery of the remote take?
Orders are dispatched from the warehouse within 24 hours. Standard delivery usually takes 1 to 5 working days within Australia and 2 to 8 working days to New Zealand, so most households are back in control of their recorder within the week. A 30-day return policy applies if the remote does not suit your equipment.
