Hi..thanks for the feedback..

I googled all the local sites and cannot find the VL610.

However...at lelong shop is selling RM-PP411
http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/2005-01D...ol-RM-PP411.htm.
But i checked the specs it doesn't have learning capabilities...only the PG411 has learning mode.

I've just send my remote to the Philips service center again...see how it goes

I think that model is for Sony equipment only.

Sony Singapore has this:
RM-VL610T
http://www.sony.com.sg/product/rm-vl610t
Abt RM220...plus additional Rm30 for friend to bring it in from SG = RM250

Worth it?

Ebay has a seller in US postage to world wide:
RM-VL610N
http://cgi.ebay.com.my/Brand-New-Sony-RM-V...=item2a022f6ae8
Abt RM122!!

this is the 610N on Amazon US$21 new. I guess the ebay price is good (I take it RM122 includes shipping)

Also, you might want to think about one of the Philips remotes available locally around the same pricing, although I'm not sure about the programmability.

I've not had any problems with any of my Sony remotes, but if it breaks... you may want to be able to yell at someone and a local Philips remote will be locally supported.

Thanks, I think I'll go for ebay...I'll contact the guy regarding the shipping charges whether can reduce further....I dun mind to wait.

Philips one got oledi..6in1...err...fragile stuff...but i got to agree...if it breaks, its one to one exchange by them...which is very good support.

Thanks for your replies

Much appreciate

Anyone know if the universal remote supports the wdtv ? The balrdy remote kong out suddenly. Change batt oso no use. Damn, I knew there was acatch somewhere with such a low price product.

Logitech Harmony 525 does, it's listed in the equipment list in the online config

grab the logitech harmony 885 model...the price dropped...got mine for rm300 something...it used to be very expensive ard rm800!...
any device can use this remote...even my cheap rmvb can use it...bcoz, it can learn the ir signal...worth the buy...

where to get 885 for Rm300???

i bought 1 already...try All It or Viewnet hypermarket...

I check lelong and the price of 885 is RM399....

But I really dun fancy a remote control that cost so much....for me, budget is less than RM200

the Sony should be able to learn all the codes required for the WDTV. I haven't tested this though

why not take the WDTV to Harvey Norma (or Best Denki) where there's a Philips remote stand and see if it can learn the WDTV remote

Thanks all. Called WD hotline and they say they will ship me a replacement. Just that they are out of stock(due to high failure I assume) and probably ship only next month

the problem is the WD unit doesn't have hard buttons on it unlike some other players

I am wondering on the performance of the 885 compared to 525. Am using 525 now, but possibly looking for another controller.

at least 360 more

Can the Harmony 525 learn the IR from every devices like Harmony One or 880 do? Can't seems to find this item anymore at Lowyat....

yes it can
