I had the misfortune to have the head of a stereo plug break off from a set of headphones I plugged in to the remote. It split in two leaving one piece inside and one half outside. Bit of a concern really they were my good Senheisers Hd40s there sure is something to be said for using metal plugs instead of plastic ones. I very much doubted that Sony would cover defects in other companys equipment so I went ahead and tried to fix it myself. Ahem to fix this without taking apart my remote I tried extracting it first by trying to bore into it with a pin in the hope of pulling the sucker out. Anyway this turned out to be impossible while trying to grab it I accidently pushed it in actually it went in all the way to the end!! there must be quite a bit of room down there. Anyway my remote worked fine for quite a while after this until the contacts gave out no doubt due to stress or something trouble is now I need a new one. If any engineer knows a fix for this cheaper than buying a new one I'd love to hear from you :-) </long desc> I have asked a Sony shop to enquire about getting me one. Anyway what I need to know is the RM-MZR55 remote fully compatible with the RM-MZR50 remote? for the obvious reason the RM-MZR50 remote may not be available anymore. I know the back-light won't work but that's ok I just want to know that everything else does. The other possiblity of course if this remote turns out to be hideously expensive is to buy myself a sony E-990 cd player which has a funky remote that I have heard is very compatible to the MZR-50 can anyone tell me more about this? Many thanks for your help in advance. I'll look for your responses in the digest though direct emails would be very much appreciated. ---- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Daniel Lower My web page: http://www.daboone.net/ ICQ: 14881470 Linux the choice of a GNU generation. === MIME part removed : text/x-vcard; === ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
