Fair enough. I received the RM-MC38EL remote yesterday and tried it with my NW-HD3. Although some functions worked, the display didn`t. I thought the remote might be faulty but I tried it with my trusty old MZ-R50 minidisc and the remote worked perfectly. I think that it may not compatible with your NW-HD1 so let me know how you get on with it. Personally speaking, I prefer my minidisc to the NW-HD3 and will probably sell the latter and get a top of the range HiMD unit.
