tasdisr Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Does anyone have any input to which is the best remote to use with the RH10?Either the RM-MC40ELK or RM-MC35ELK? I would really like the RM-MC55ELK,but I can only find it in white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiesto Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 The best remote for any HiMD device or even for those hdd Sony players is the RM-MC40ELK, you will get a good amount of info from its three lines display. The jog dial is similar to the one in the RH10, it is easy to operate, it weighs 30g, it has a nice blue light and it's stylish. The drawbacks are: all its features are available only when it's plugged to the NH1. The other recorders/players miss:-No clock.-No recording menu.However some members say the mc40elk are unable to keep the light on when it's plugged to the RH10, this hasn't been confirmed though.On the other hand, the mc35elk (or mc33el) is an universal remote, any Sony device with a remote port can be controled by this one. You can do everything from it, in fact, it's the remote included in the japanese version of the RH10. The mc35elk can display two lines to read group/track at the same time. The drawback is: if you are listening a song and you want to know what song is five tracks (groups) ahead, then you must fast forward (groups +) five times to know.Dunno anything about the mc55elk, I've seen it in the local Sony store next to a cd player but anything else.

Herri Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Actually, I have a brand new US MZ-RH10 that came with new firmware, and it supports persistent backlight settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsoul Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Actually, I have a brand new US MZ-RH10 that came with new firmware, and it supports persistent backlight settings.I think you are talking about the OLED screen on the RH10, not the small screen on the 40ELK. Am I right? Sure, my OLED will always stay on, but the 40ELK will NOT. There are no settings in the menu on the RH10 like the NH900 and the NH1.

zxon Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) How about plugging in the original remote (RM-MC35ELK) back into the RH10 and changing the backlight setting on the remote to "on" (Hold "display" on remote --> Option --> Backlight --> On), then plugging in the 40ELK again?...unless thats already been tried.

mrsoul Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 That did NOT work in April when I had both the NH900 and the RH10 with the 40ELK. It was one of the reasons I sold my first 40ELK with the NH900... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPlitude Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 also, the 40elk takes a bit of time getting used to, its a bit awkward at first if you're accustomed to the other designs, as its obviously a lot bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
