Hi all, My trusty (and rather abused) MZ-NHF800 is going south on me (the ribbon cable issue). I'm looking for a HI-MD recorder to replace it. (I looked into getting a flash recorder but I keep gravitating me back to the MD) Ideally, I'd like an RH1 but quite honestly, I'd be happy with any HI-MD model that has a mic input. I'm located in Toronto, and am willing to travel within a 200km radius to pick up. (I'd prefer to deal in person) If you have something you think I might be interested in, let me know the model number and your asking price. Thanks, --Peter

Actually, the first thing I tried was navigating the menus with the remote. I even just tried it again -- just in case. Made sure I was in advanced menu mode, too. There was no backlight option on the menu -- even on the remote. --Peter

Thanks for the input. The problem is, the 800 doesn't have a backlight option anywhere in the menus. Hence my confusion. I have an old R50 and an R70 buried around the house somewhere. I'll have to find them and try the remote on those old chestnuts and see what happens. Has anyone out there actually used this remote with the 800? --Peter

I just received an RM-MC40ELK remote that I bought from an ebay seller. I'm using it with my MZ-NHF800 unit. Everything works except I have no backlight. Unfortunately, the backlight is the one thing I really need. I searched around here first and I get the impression that I should see a backlit display without really having to set anything up. Am I missing something or did I get a dud remote? Thanks, --Peter
