1..Does any one know the code/number of the remote control. Or have any ideas for a replacement? Mine is missing..

2..Cant remember what the MB button is for on the CD display panel any ideas?

3..How do I or can I run an ipod/mp3 player through the unit...There is no dedicated line in just the headphone socket? Thanks for any info. Great site with lots of interesting stuff.

Welcome to the forum Pete.

Always cool to hear of someone who still has the actual boomer they had as a youngster...most of us have sought out the ones we had in our youth but having the actual one is very cool

I don't know that model tho I'm afraid but Iso will be around at some point as he's the 3D pro round here

Thanks for that I have had quite a few over the years. This was the last one I bought and hung on to it. I did own some of the Sharp ones "play both sides" VZ  Models I think plus numerous others. Got my first one about 1978 and have had one ever since....Pete

1: Sorted. Deliverance, you're a star  

2: I asked the same question myself years ago & I think I got the answer at the time. Now, I can't remember & the post has gone from s2g (too old I guess), sorry!

Let us know if you find out...

3: This 3D has a mic-mix input on the back with a level control. You can plug an iPod into that (mono, unfortunately), so long as you're careful with the level input. My son used my CX-W500 like this for a while (until Santa brought him an i931).

 

btw, this is the only Hitachi 3D boomer I know of to have a remote.

Hitachi went crazy, fitting a motorised volume control too...

2: I asked the same question myself years ago & I think I got the answer: 

"...if it's the small push-button switch next to the CD buttons, the one on my CX-W500 is labelled "M.B."...If memory serves it was a Beat Cut type switch, & I never found out why it was positioned with the CD buttons..."
