dyonisus Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 beautiful...←very.....Does this work well with the mz-rh-10? I know the rm-mc33elk does not display correctly or better put use the full display. I inquire because I myself am looking to get this rm-mc55elk.

Christopher Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Stunning, Ishii - instantly one of my favorite pictorials you've done in your tenure here. Your macro photography skills have considerably improved, most likely from all the discs you've been taking pictures of. Where did you purchase this at?What is your favorite remote out of all the ones you own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current favorite is a tie between MC40ELK and MC55ELK; and I acquired the MC55ELK directly via a friend in Shanghai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Upon reviewing your pictures -- aesthetically, the 55ELK is the new champion..What are some good places to obtain the 55ELK?

tasdisr Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I think the parts center wants $156.95 for the remote. Since it is bundled with the D-NE920, it would be cheaper to buy the D-NE920. I have seen it for 129.99 sometimes less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you search harder within eBay, you will find decent deals for the MC55ELK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasdisr Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 (edited) What is the difference between the RM-MC55elk and the RM-MC53EL/SMon Sony's direct accessories site?Never mind I checked the post on the different remotes and found out that the53EL is identical to the 55elk except it does not support multi language displays.

mrsoul Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Indeed, the RM-MC55ELK was never intended for retail sale. But one can always acquire it via the appropriate Parts Center.←Bargaining4all.com does have it listed for $72 plus shipping, which is usually about $20 to the US from these guys in China. I bought my 1st 40ELK and a battery charger from them. You won't get the retail box like you would from buyfromjapan but you will get the item. The 40ELK worked great but the battery charger has been so-so. Luckily, a friend gave me an extra for $2 . Still, I would say you can trust these guys.Their eBay Store is here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHADY Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 thanks for the pix man, i appreciate it, they are the reason i have bought this remote for my RH10 ... i hope it lasts longer than the remote i got with my N1 (rip) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akijikan Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I've done pretty much all the shopping there is for this thing and what's available seems to be:Partstore.com - 82.95 + free shipping til Dec. 31 (Silver Color)WHSLE.BIZ.STORE on eBay - $65 + $25 Shipping (White Color)I went to the above seller's online store here and even though he didn't show it as available in his store, I e-mailed him about availability. He quoted me 85 Shipped (White Color)If you don't need Japanese/Chinese/Korean support you can go for the RM-MC53EL. Exactly the same minus Asian character display.Partstore.com - 34.95 plus shipping (Silver Color, Black Available for 76.95 with free shipping til Dec. 31)WHSLE.BIZ.STORE on eBay $59.99 + $25 Shipping (Silver Color) (Like above, this isn't listed in the online store, but if you e-mail he'll probably quote you a lower price)Hope this helps.

Wildfire_101 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Hey thanks for all the great info and pix on the remotes, the one that came with the US version of the Rh10 was really disappointing state side, seems really cheap next to the beauty of the unit itself. So I'm off to PartStore to order a RM-MC55ELK, wish that they had it in black. I usually avoid forums but this one is great and had all the info you could want, thanks to all. Wild.

A440 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 It looks like you rotate the tip for Display, P-Mode, etc., and then push the button--is that right?More important, does this have the recording functions of the RM-MC40ELK?Specifically, level monitoring and track marking? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.If I remember correctly, it does not have the recording functions of the RM-MC40ELK. After all, the RM-MC55ELK was designed for Sony's newer PCDP. But I will confirm this feature once I get back from vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentabau Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 hiii Ishiyoshi,i saw that u use the rm-mc55elk remote with the rh-10. i currently own mz-m10 and i was wondering wether this remote is compatible with mine? do you have any idea? by the way, i noticed that the 55elk remote got search button. can the search function really work on hi-md minidisc?thanks for any reply.

Ishiyoshi Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 i currently own mz-m10 and i was wondering wether this remote is compatible with mine? do you have any idea?I believe the remote will work just fine with the M10.by the way, i noticed that the 55elk remote got search button. can the search function really work on hi-md minidisc?thanks for any reply.If I remember correctly: no, search function can only be used from the Hi-MD unit itself and not with the RM-MC55ELK.

The Search button works only with those units, and not with any HiMD or MD units (confirmed with MZ-NH1 and MZ-RH910) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentabau Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) oh, so the search button can't be used. too bad. luckily, i didn't rush myself to buy it.how about the RM-MC40ELK remote? does it support search button? and one more thing, what are other functions in the 55ELK remote that can't be used besides the search function?
