Milk and remote controls are a very bad mixture (lactic acid) but you should be able to obtain a replacement remote control through ANY Panasonic dealer in your locality.
If you do an internet search, you may be able to find a cheaper deal online. On the front of the remote at the bottom there should be a line of letters and numbers and you will need that when you order a replacement remote (hope you have not slung it in the bin) or failing that just give the model number of the DVD recorder.
You could even have a go at repairing the old one if you are brave enough!
