Everyone said the rm-mc35elk remote will work with the hd1, hd3, hd5, but never discuss what button works and what doesn't. The prices on ebay is so inflated with this remote, so if I am going to buy one, I want to make sure it's worth every penny. I bought the wrong one. I was told by aocheng of bargain4all.com (supposively the owner of that site) that rm-mc38el will work. What a load of crap. Functionality wise, this remote works, but the display doesn't. I ask him whether the remote will disaply english characters on the screen, and I told him I have a hd3, and he said yes.
I want a remote besides the rm-mc40elk that can display the song titles and etc.
