Looking for Z-5500 remote

[Chevron]

Well I moved and lost my remote. Anyone here that maybe has damaged their speakers beyond all repair but still has a working remote?

I'm in JHB and will pretty much drive anywhere. Will consider paying to have it posted if from a reputable forumite.

1. Get the Z5500 remote replaced
2. Get a Logitech universal remote
3. Get another brand universal remote

Probably option 2 is the easiest in terms of getting your hands on it. I guess it boils down to cost and ease.....

Also apparently a Logitech harmony can you used? Need to confirm this, that would be your best bet hey.

Hehe, was just playing on that you would consider paying for something that is obviously quite desirable.

Go with Harmony 300, it's about R250.

blah blah blah.....Go with Harmony 300, it's about R250.

+1 on that, seems like the way to go, and you will be able to use the remote for other things also

Or you could phone DCS, the distributor, and get a new one.

Good to know. Normally difficult finding Logitech replacements.

I also asked them how much a new set of Z-5500s would cost and she told me that they don't have stock because they are end of life

My current set is 4 years old and the replacements don't have optical input

Yip, Logitech have a habit of going cheaper when they bring out replacements. All in the current range are worse than the previous range.

All is not lost. The Z906 has optical inputs:

Still haven't found a worthy replacement for my T260 though

Lol dude. 16:9 is a terrible aspect ratio. When I get my TV it'll most likely be a 46" at least to try offset the letterbox effect.

Strange, haven't heard anyone who upgraded from 16:10 to 32" FHD LCD TV for PC monitor complaining, let alone for gaming/media.

16:10 is dead, you will learn to accept it. Don't worry, we all used to be against it.
