fuzzy_aladdin Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hi, I recently got a used NHF800 recorder. It came with its stock remote, but I've been reading and have heard that I could possibly use other remotes on the unit. In particular I'd like something with a backlight for night use. Is there such a remote that will interface with the NHF800? Can it be had off of eBay? What would be the average going price?I'd also probably sell my current remote.

Damage Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 Be aware that no other remote besides the one that came with your unit will have RADIO TUNER function. None of the remotes that I will recommend has radio tuner functionality, so be aware of that fact before buying a new one.RM-MC40ELK is my first and foremost recommendation. It's backlit, has a very generous 3 line display, and has jog wheel navigation perfectly suited for all HiMD units.RM-MC33/38EL is the standard stick remote w/ LCD display for most Sony electronics that come with it. It's shaped like the remote you have, minus the radio on/off button and is slightly slimmer. You should be able to find these remotes with import electronic stores on-line or on eBay, not sure what the going rate for the RM-MC40ELK, but I wouldn't fork over $75 for either of them, and the latter could be had much cheaper (sub-$50), IIRC> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_aladdin Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I am seeing on eBay for sale some ATRAC CD players that have a remote stick. The description states the stick to be a backlit one. From the picture it looks almost identical to the stick I have save for the radio. The particular player model is D-NE1. Since I've been in the market for an MP3 CD player, I'm considering an ATRAC player so I can not only burn direct MP3 cd's but also play ATRAC CD's. So my question is, Is the remote stick with this player compatible with the Hi-MD? Or is it just totally different? I'd lean towards assuming different but you never know.

Damage Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 That particular remote (RM-MC33EL) will work for your NHF800, including the backlit display and all, but remember, you won't have any FM/AM Tuner function with that remote.As for the CD player, that's a fine CD Player if you can get it for sub-$100, but if not, I'd pass and get the D-NE10 or 900, which has better options, such as a parametric equalizer and gapless playback (similar to HiMDs) for Atrac3/plus files.

DmitryKo Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 But can I connect the FM radio remote of NF series to any HiMD unit and effectively convert it to a radio model? I'm not happy with the lack of FM radio-capable 2nd generation players. I do have a small stand-alone Walkman radio, SRF-M10, but I just find it a little incovenient to carry two units and switch between them...

Christopher Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Tiesto, if your reply was any more stern you'd be crossing into the underline formatting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
