    Default WTD Wadia 381 remote

    Looking for a Wadia 381 cd remote as mine has failed. Have contacted Wadia direct but no response. Anybody got anything? has anybody taken the remote apart ?

    You could possibly use a universal remote that has a learning facility and scans for the Wadia unit code.

    Thanks for the info I do have such a device but it does not allow me to get at the hidden menus such as the DAC.

    I did try the dealer route but the two I tried said contact direct as no supply in UK. Wadia have now come back to me with a price to ship to the UK not cheap but the player cost a fortune so I suppose I will have to bite the bullet.

    I can just figure what kind of price they'll be asking. Still, at least your problem will be sorted.

    It will be £200 to buy and ship to UK. But it is the metal remote which matches mine so as the player cost £6000 I suppose that is to be expected.

    At that price it would be worth double checking it's definitely a problem with the remote and not the receiver on the machine.

    Thanks for the tip. It is the remote as it does work on some buttons but others are just sticking a known problem on the early remote. I have tried cleaning inside the remote but I think the rubber button pad has gone soft with age.
