valurot Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Hi. I know there is a resource on the site related to all kinds of MD remotes. I've read about the MC55ELK, and it seems incredible. I just have a few questions about this model:1. Is it available from a U.S. retailer? I've seen it only on ebay from Chinese retailers. It sells for about 70 bucks "But It Now" plus 30 shipping! And it seems to come only in white. I'd love a black one for my U.S. RH10...2. Are you able to scroll through groups/songs without selecting them for playback? You know, does it have a jog dial? The pictures and the descriptions I've found are unclear.3. Does the MC55ELK come with the Japanese RH10?Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can certainly order the EL version from Sony DAPC.2) Not certain. Need further clarification from D-NE20 users. However, functions should be identical to its predecessors. Anyhow, here are some pictures to help you ascertain the functions of the remote.3) No. The Japanese RH10 comes bundled with color matching RM-MC35ELK remote. Please check my blue RH10 thread for clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UberKlavierMeister Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Two more quicks question along these lines -- have you heard any reports of compatibility issues between the MC55ELK and the RH10?And ultimate beginner question... ordering the EL version from Sony DAPC -- where/what is this? (EL, I assume, is electroluminescent, but am wondering about the vendor.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(EL, I assume, is electroluminescent, but am wondering about the vendor.)←Answer to:#1: No issues whatsoever. It should work with the RH10. #2: The EL version of the MC55ELx remote is the counterpart of the ELK version. The only difference between the two is the latter supports Japanese/Chinese/Hangul text whereas the former does not. Sony DAPC is merely an acronym for Sony Direct Accessories and Part Center; [click here] the center offers original Sony accessories and parts. The part number for the RM-MC55EL is A1071446A and unfortunately, it will cost you a hefty $156.95. So, it is better to acquire the ELK version from eBay or elsewhere if possible.

(and they are a Chinese based e-store) However, the remote is going to cost you somewhat. I believe bargaining4all.com is offering the remote for around $90USD inclusive of shipping (shipping to US from China). If you are still interested, email aocheng, the owner of the e-store and ask him for a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'm sure that wac/bargaining4all will offer a discount to MDCF members as well - he's done so in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do not have them in stock but say that they can be ordered.Their web site is http://www.ued.net/catalog/cat_item_idx_4471.html and their number is 1-800-648-6657 if anyone is interested.I found their web site while doing a search.
