Remote for MZ-NHF800: Comparison RM-MC39LT vs RM-MC34LT

[jeffmccann]

I bought a HI-MD MZ-NHF800 and it was an open box item. It was missing the remote (unknown to the store) so I asked for it, they gave me a remote that is extremely similar. But it is for the MZ-NF520D (Not HI-MD, model #RM-MC34LT) It seems to have all the same functionality. My only concern is that I am missing something important between the RM-MC39LT and the RM-MC34LT. Both are Radio tuners, outside of that, there doesn't seem to be anything different.

Does anyone know the specific differences? If there is a difference, I'll force them to replace it, or return it for a different model.

Anyone know?

I think the RM-MC39LT is backlit. Not sure, though.

The unit for the NHF800 has AM as well as FM, TV and weather channels (at least here in the USA). The one for the NF520 lacks the AM band. Just scroll thru the bands. As far as other functions, check with the manual. Every function on NHF800 is accessible via the remote including recording. Since the NF520D doesn't record, you should check whether your HNF800's recording functions are accessible by the remote.

Actually you can't start a recording using the remote to the NHF800 or any other HIMD I believe. You can control much of the recording process but you can't start the process.
