1kyle Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Whilst on the whole I'm reasonably satisfied with the MZ-NHF800 I've seen some wildly inaccurate specs on this model.1) Backlit remote --- please where or how. As far as my unit is concerned I've never been able to find this on any menu -- and I'm no amateur in finding obscure or even service only menus on gear like this.A backlit remote IMO especially with the size of battery you can insert into this unit --(chuck away the supplied one and insert one of those rechargeable 2200 mAh ones instead) seems to me a MUST. I'm not bothered about a backlite on the unit itself.2) The AM-FM Radio -- specs talk about "Weather Band" -- mine only has standard FM 88-108 and standard AM so spec again inaccurate.I know some features might be specific to certain countries but whilst I'm not too bothered about the Weatherband on the Radio -- I really miss a "Backlite" on the remote.If any of you want these features on this model --CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY as some descriptions are INACCURATE.Cheers-K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamagatacamille Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 there was never a backlit tuner remote to begin with. sony releases inaccurate press photos. as for the weatherband, i believe it's available for US customers (along with TV tuner); my experience with the weatherband function is that it never works. just for future references, sony tuner remotes never have a backlight.
