cool_hand Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 The remote (RM-MC40ELK) stopped functioning on my MZ-NH1 – not control over playback no LCD data. The MZ-NH1 continued to work fine.I just received a new RM-MC40ELK and the problem still persists.I'm wondering if the problem isn't with the remote but with the MZ-NH1?Anyone ever had similar problems? Does seem either unlucky with replacement or unusual.I don't have a spare machine to test the remote on and don't know of anyone else who has one.Also, anyone know where I can get the machine serviced in central London if it needs to be repaired? Preferably somewhere cheaper than SONY.Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brainer really. I wish I'd bought two now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
