jflaco1 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hello! I have a few questions about Sony decks and their remotes. Specifically, what remote does the MDS-JE780 take? With Sony portables, there's quite a bit of flexibility to use different remotes; does the same apply to decks, or is each remote specific to each deck? Thanks!

Jimma Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Judging by pictures of the 780's remote, it looks like it was supplied with the RM-D29M which is the same remote that came with my MDS-JE530. As far as I'm aware, this remote was used on many Sony decks. It is a slimmer, cut down remote that replaced the RM-D7M (which has a full keyboard rather than the three chacters per button mobile phone style setup of the later model) supplied with many earlier decks. I also have one of the earlier remotes from my MDS-JE510 and that operates the newer deck without any problems so you should find that most functions will be controllable on your deck with any given Sony MD deck remote.

jim.hoggarth Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 You need the RM-D10E. It's the same one used by the MDS-JB980 and the MDS-JE480. Others will work, of course. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 If I were you I would ORDER a Sony RM-VL600 like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Sony-RMVL600-MultiBrand-Universal-8-Device-Learning-Remote-Control-RM-VL600-/220943993919 And then try to borrow someone else's remote controller so you can teach it. Mind u, I think that device does come with a fair amount of pre-programmed stuff about MD in it. Yeah there are codes 7001 and 7002 for Sony MD decks. Stephen PS I have uploaded the manual and codes to the downloads section. This device is VERY flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilippeC Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I have 2 RM-D10E for spare in Vietnam. It is really easy to find remotes there, except for products that are not anymore on the market. So now I am secure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflaco1 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Fast informative feedback - I love this place! Thanks for the replies, guys! Love the idea of teaching a remote. I may go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
