Hello;
I had this problem;
A couple of years ago I received- as a new house gift a Home Theater Master remote control model : MX 700-custom programmed;
This was been received from a business partner- and- as I understood it was p
urchased from your partner- AVITECH Co. in Romania ( at that time).
Due to some unfortunate events I had no opportunity to open the box and to use this remote ( or the little one) up to November last year( 2009) when my house was ready to move-! in;
This remote was supposed to manage the controls over the Onkyo A-V equipments, together with the EIKI/ Sanyo video projector, and- I have enough experience to set-up the remote for all the equipments I need to control;
BUT:
It was impossible to be used- because both remotes have a
sticky plastic body ( as the plastic body was melted and become
sticky);
Unfortunately, when I try to find-out what is to be done- and asked my partner what can I do- he told me to write-you- in the hope that- somehow I will get directions to remove the
sticky material- or- to replace the bodies with clean ones;
I never find-out in my entire career such a issue- and I didnt believed until now- that the plastic on a $500 remote could be expired as it is;
Please- give-me directions over the method to get the remote useful;
The serial numbers are:
MX 700 Ver 1.0
0502A02601
Notice: I never used the remote- nor programmed; Is brand new except the
sticky body;
Thank-you for helping-me out;
