Atholl Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi All, I recently got a RM-MC35ELK for my A3000, which works well. The only trouble is that I can't seem to navigate from album to album with it, even though there are two 'folder' buttons on the unit. The instructions are not that clear:http://www.sonydigital-link.com/manuals/ma...C35ELK%20(NW-A)The folder buttons seem to have the same function as the track up/down button and I can't get out of the current album unless I'm on random play.Any Ideas?Atholl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 groove_9 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Where did you get your remote, i just got my rm-mc35elk for my nw-hd1 and i can't get the folder options to work either. I got my remote on ebay, and i suspect it might be a counterfeit product that's maybe why the folders don't work. If anyone has a rm-mc35elk remote from sony directly or an authorized dealer and has a NW player, does your folder options work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Atholl Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Got mine on Ebay too, I'm afraid. Any genuine, bona-fide sony RM-MC35ELK owners out there?Atholl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 peterjf Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Got mine on Ebay as well, but it has not given me any problems. (Is there any other place to get hold of one in this country?)The limitation on its use is that you cannot browse through the albums on the player while a track is playing - if you do, it simply skips to the next album and starts playing that.You can, however, browse through the albums while the player is not playing. I think that is intentional, as it is the same design and works the same way as the remote that was supplied with my old Sony CD Walkman.On the subject of remotes, you often see a sleek remote in a similar design to the A1000/A3000 in photos of the player - does anyone know if you can actually get hold of these remotes?

0 lindijones Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 hi!!I have this Remote (is it with the LCD?) from an authorized dealer. And it works well so far. It depends in which Playmode you are. I have the HD5 and when i play in artist-search-mode, then i can get from artist to artist, like they come in the list. And if i am in the "normal" Albums list then i can switch to the next and previous album. So far no problems.The mode depends on the mode you are playing right now.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Atholl Posted February 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) I've put the player in 'Normal' play mode, but the folder buttons just cycle through the tracks on whatever album I'm on. Also, I'm not sure how to get the player to 'stop playing', there is aways a track on the 'now playing' section, which can either be played or paused only. What am I doing wrong?!AthollIn reply to peterjf:***On the subject of remotes, you often see a sleek remote in a similar design to the A1000/A3000 in photos of the player - does anyone know if you can actually get hold of these remotes?***do you mean this one?http://froogle.google.co.uk/froogle_cluste...oring=mrd&hl=en Edited February 22, 2006 by Atholl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lindijones Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 oh so it seems to be a problem with the new A1000/A3000 Players.With HD5 it works fine.Cannot say something about the new players. bye tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 groove_9 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 my folder buttons don't work at all on my nw-hd1.the back light won't even go on when i press them.any nw-hd1 owners with this remote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When "All Songs" is selected, finds the beginning of an index or the first track in the next index.I'm using it on an A1000 and had the same problem with the folder buttons just cycling through tracks on the same album. After reading peterjf's reply I found that I could cycle through the first tracks of different albums of the same artist after selecting "all songs" for that artist. Ok if you're listening to Eno or someone with a lot of albums but you need to use the player itself as well as the remote.By selecting "all songs" on the player you can cycle throught the first song for each letter of the alphabet which is not all that useful.peterjf.....Sony Australia has that sleek remote (RMNWS1) on its site for $39AUD and I've also seen it in a shop.

0 zachtan Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 My A1000 also can't work well with the RM-MC35ELK remote for Folder Function. It is the fireware limitation on this player? Anybody know that A1000 can play the Song, which sorted by Album name? TQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lindijones Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hey guys!!Can anybody tell what happens if you go to the album list and then play a track out of this "album" list and then press this folder + or - botton????Does it work or not?I always use the album playlist so for me it works well in the HD5.Can you all please recheck if you have the A3000/A1000 and this RM-MC35ELK??ThanksTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Atholl Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Tom:Just tried what you suggested and the folder buttons cycle through the songs on that album only.Atholl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lindijones Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Oh thats really interesting... so is there any case where you can switch albums or artists or anything else except only tracks?maybe the new remote is needed....Don´t know....Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Atholl Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 The only way you can get out of the album you're in is if the 'shuffle all' play mode is on (as far as I can tell).I wonder if a firmware upgrade could address this problem...

0 lindijones Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 hei guys!!!A friend of mine bought the A1000 on monday and he also has this remote from an older CD Walkman.The same problem with only skipping the tracks and not the Albums.He did a Firmware-Upgrade and nothing changed.if you look here: http://www.sonydigital-link.com/manuals/ma...C35ELK%20(NW-A)it seems so that there is another model with a "2" or (MW-A) behind the type. So it seems to be another remotecontrol....ByeTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 D&BBOY Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Got my NW-A3000 on wednesday and was worried about dropping it, (its a bit slippy) so looked for a remote, difficult to find/purchase.Then I decided to try the one I was supplied with my MZ-NH700, its a RM-MC21, I was surprised to find that all the functions on the remote work perfectly.Just thought I would mention this as it might save someone time/money.I'm new here but very impressed, did the volume hack today and as said by others, a major improvement.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lindijones Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hi All!!Ich have to update something!I told you about the friend with the A1000 and the Remote.He did the newest Firmware upgrade and now he can switch the albums with this folder/album bottons.Before it didn´t work.Bye tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 markd Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Did firmware upgrade on A3000 and the folder/album button now works on rm-mc35elk remote. Hoer there is still no option on the A3000 itself! Now that is daft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lindijones Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 as you can read above it works with my friends remote and the a1000.So all the problems are gone!!Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 aZiMuTh Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Did firmware upgrade on A3000 and the folder/album button now works on rm-mc35elk remote.Is the RM-MC35ELK identical to the RM-MC55ELK? I have searched about that and it still isn't clear to me. Is it an EU/US/JAP market discrepancy thing?Has anybody used an RM-MC55ELK with a NW-A3000?I got a black RM-MC55ELK/BM ("universal remote backlight") off eBay (hasn't arrived yet) and I was wondering which features are and aren't supported in a NW-A3000. I'm not that fussed about being able to use ALL of the buttons, as long as there aren't any MAJOR compatibility issues.Thanks in advance.

Question
Atholl
Hi All,
I recently got a RM-MC35ELK for my A3000, which works well. The only trouble is that I can't seem to navigate from album to album with it, even though there are two 'folder' buttons on the unit. The instructions are not that clear:
http://www.sonydigital-link.com/manuals/ma...C35ELK%20(NW-A)
The folder buttons seem to have the same function as the track up/down button and I can't get out of the current album unless I'm on random play.
Any Ideas?
Atholl
