Connecting remote to Walkman D-NF430?

[PhotoJim]

I bought a new D-NF430 Walkman CD player a few weeks ago. Some perusing of the Internet revealed this site and I learned a lot of information.

I bought a Canadian model of the player and it did not come with a remote control. Based on the recommendations here I ordered an RM-MC33EL which arrived today.

However, I cannot figure out how to plug the thing in!

The headphone jack on my Walkman has a grey plastic rectangle about the size of the electronic connection on the remote. I thought that this might slide out of the way when I tried to mount the remote control, but it doesn't. I can't seem to remove it, either.

I'm wondering if perhaps the Canadian model of this player doesn't have the remote control terminal and I'm out of luck.

Is the remote control terminal exposed, or is it normally hidden behind plastic? If it's hidden, how do I reveal it?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I don't think your Walkman's compatible with the remote. Usually the remote control terminal's exposed.

I definitely have used that exact remote with that exact player. My player was purchased in the US right after it came out, so it was an early production model. It also came with a display-less remote, which has the same connector as the LCD remote. Did your player come with the non-LCD remote? Maybe you could take a picture of the headphone jack.

EDIT: I see now that your player did not come with a remote. Maybe the Canadian version is different from the US one, or they've now removed the jack as a cost-cutting measure. Does the manual mention a remote as an optional accessory?

Attached below is the image of the remote that was supplied with my player. You can see the connector is the same one as on the LCD remotes.
