D-NE20 RM-MC53EL Remote Control Issue

Question

Howdy,

I've recently started having issues with my D-NE20 & its RM-MC53EL remote.

For unknown reasons, the right channel cuts out whenever I am in motion.

My D-NE20 was purchased NIB back in January of 2007.

I believe that the issue has something to go with the contacts of the '53EL' remote.

I've used a pressurized air duster to remove any dirt build up around the headphone contacts of the RM-MC53EL remote and no luck.

I had a similar issue with an old CD Walkman that I purchased in 2001.

In 2004, the remote started to short out, which in turn caused both audio channels to cut out from time to time.

I've taken great care of my D-NE20 and am extremely disappointed that it's starting to fail after less than 18 months of use.

BTW, I have 2 spare RM-MC33EL (D-NE10 generation) remotes. Will these function with the D-NE20?

I'd appreciate any assistance!

Thank You,

Milan

As soon as I got home from work this evening, I experimented with the RM-MC33 & 53EL models.

The bad news is that the RM-MC53EL is definitely faulty. I tested out my Shure E4C headphones on several audio sources and they performed as expected.

The good news is that I was able to connect the RM-MC33 remote control to my D-NE20, and it functions!!

I have not tested the remote out thoroughly, however I was able to flip between tracks, adjust EQ, and volume.

At least now I'll be able to continue using my D-NE20!

Does anyone know where I can find a new RM-MC53EL remote for under $40 shipped?

I paid $75 for my D-NE20 NIB on eBay in January of 2007, spending more than that just for the remote is ridiculous!

One dealer I've found wants $90 for the RM-MC53EL alone!! RIP OFF!!

How I wish that Sony did not abandon their CD Walkman line. ;(

Looks like I will have to break down and buy a DAP soon.
