hi i havent used a remote on an md before considering i only had the ne410. so i am getting the newest model from sony, the MZNF520D. this one comes with a remote. i still dont have this model yet but i was wondering how you can use it. like, if i kept the player in my pocket, which you would do if you had a remote, can you move the hold button to stop control on the player but still be able to use your remote? and can you press hold on the remote instead of the player? im sorry.... read my signature.
