Sony STR-DA555ES surround receiver need remote
I had this receiver given to me without the remote. I just got it
working and I've learned that the remote that goes with this unit is a
special two way unit with an LCD window. It is also quite expensive
and apparently a real POS. The model number of the remote is RM-TP502.
I think that you need the LCD screen for surround setup and things
like loudness and bass boost. Is there another way to do these things
or do I absolutely need this particular remote? Someone has used ones
on Ebay for 56.00. The receiver is 13 years old. That seems pretty
expensive for an obsolete remote. If I have to have this remote does
anyone know where I might be able to find one more reasonably priced
or could I get away with a substitute that will allow me to access all
the functions? Thanks, Lenny
