Guest Anonymous Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 Is it possible to get a remote for the mz-r500? I know it does not come with one but is it possible to buy one as an accessory? Thanks! Any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 The 500 doesn't accept a remote, but the 505 does (even though the 505 ALSO doesn't come with one). If I remember right, the 500 is the only LP machine that wasn't designed for a remote--I hate to say it, but you might be screwed! Keep an eye out, though. Now that Sony's introduced some new models, the old stuff (the 505, & 707) should get a little cheaper. A remote (even used on Ebay) will set you back about $45+, so you might just as well upgrade.

Daijoubu Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 You can get a brand new 11EL for 30-40 on ebay and the NE410 also doesn't have remote capabilitie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annoyingrob Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 Theoretically, you may be able to wire one up internally. I'm pretty sure that the internal lcd, and keypad use the same transmission medium as external remotes. It's probably a long shot, but if you have some soldering knowledge, and some pinouts, it may be possible to wire up a remote. Id try it with my MZ-R500, but I dont really want a remote at this point :wink: . Maybe if I feel the need later on il try. Edit: Open up the battery compartment, you sill notice 4 copper pads inside the minidisc player. Ive heard that these are points that are used in the remotes, so a remote may not be all that long of a shot after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
