MZ-R70 remote control replacement

What other remotes are compatible with this unit? Do you think one of those with the LCD displays will work? and where can I get one, thanks guys.

I'd assume all of them are backward compatible--any newer remote will work with an older machine. The remote for my MZ-N707 works fine with my 9-year-old MZ-E3. As for whether or not the R70 will power a backlight, anybody know for sure?

You can find a new remote at www.minidisco.com or on eBay.

Yeah you can get an LCD one--I'm about 90% sure of that... I'm pretty sure the venerable RM-MC11EL will work just fine. Other than that you can use most of the other ones. That unit was essentially an R90 with a few less features and the R90 used the RM-MZ2S as far as I know. That remote is cross-compatible with the MC11EL so either should work. As for the backlight, there are only few units that cannot output the command codes for the backlight to work and I don't think the R70 is one of them--the backlight should work as well.

Note however that the older remotes like that from the R50 and earlier won't work properly, if I recall correctly...
