From: Arfa Daily on 2 Apr 2010 21:27 Anyone (preferably UK) got a remote for a Sony DAV-S800 home cinema kicking about up the corner that they would like to flog me cheap ? Alternatively, anyone know for sure if any of the other DAV series remotes such as for the S300 or 400 or 550 or 880 for instance, will control at least the sound setup and control functions of an '800 ? TIA Arfa

Useful info. The remote is an RMSS800. Looking at my service manual, which is for both the '500 and the '800 units, just the one remote is specified, so it looks like the same remote might well be used for all models in the series. I'll dig out the manuals for the '300 and '400 and do some further investigations to see if that is indeed the case. Thanks. Arfa

I picked up the unit from a shop that I do repairs of such equipment for. In fact it was one that I repaired for him some time back, but which the customer never then picked up. I was interested in it because it is a full 5.1 channel amp (as well as a DVD player) with an optical input and multimode Dolby decoder. I thought it would do a good job of hanging on the end of my Sky sat receiver, to improve the sound and give full surround decode on my new TV. I have hooked it all in, and it does indeed work reasonably well, but it needs the levels adjusting to match my room, and the surround and centre speakers that I have on it, as its own were missing. To get at the setup functions for the sound, you need the remote, and specifically, a button called "amp". The unit's own remote was of course missing - hence the reason that I need one. The �9.99 remote does not seem to have that "amp" button, or quite a lot of the other buttons that the Sony original has, which leads me to believe that it is a restricted function 'clone' of the original. I have now found another guy on fleabay selling one from Poland for about 15 quid including postage. He claims to have plenty in stock. Although this one does not *look* the same as the original 'glow-in-the-dark' one that came with these machines, it does at least say "Sony" on it, as well as "RMSS-800", and does appear to have all of the buttons that the original had, so I might go down that route. It's just so frustrating to think of all of examples that have passed through my hands over the years, including those that have been rejected quotes, and just returned to the shops that they came from, probably to finish up eventually in the bin. Just thought that there might be someone on here that had one kicking about gathering dust at the back of the bench ... Arfa |
