Sigh. Too bad... darn it, I wish I could remember precisely where I put it.
Oh well, in a month or two, spend thirty bucks and get a new version of the player, that was the super-cheap one anyway.
Or get a universal remote...
Or a DVR... we don't have DVD remote either... but the remote on the DVR works for it, it's got universal buttons.
How much are universal remotes? And are they really universal?
This thing is a cheapie...off-brand. I wonder if regular universal remotes would work with it.
Hm...I bet Fred Meyer carries remotes. And Radio Shack is right there too, isn't it?
Neeeeed Jack!!
I think they work for anything... You program them, there's instructions for how to get it to find the right signal I think.... Not sure how much, but probably less than a new player.
You sure there aren't buttons to access the menus from the machine?
Both those places would probably have them ;`D
Only buttons that work in the menu are play and stop. Means I can't navigate to other episodes.
It doesn't have any 'select' arrow buttons or anything?
It has two buttons that allow you to skip to other chapters once a movie is playing, but they don't do diddly squat at the menu page, and trying to chapter through one episode and into another doesn't work - it goes back to the main menu again, and then I can't go past the first episode.
Well that sounds incredibly frustrating!
"I know!" she says...
Head up to Fred Meyer/Radio Shack.
Ack! That would be horribly annoying.
Whoa. Just got done talking to my friend John, who'd been talking to another classmate, and apparently my assignment that's due Monday isn't just producing valid results, it's producing optimal ones. That's a new feeling this semester. I feel much less stupid. And I have a whole nother day to write up my excuses - I mean explanations. I feel good!
I don't have a remote for the TV either...so it doesn't hurt to get a universal dealie.
I think I'm gonna go off adventuring and at least do a price check.
I think they all sortof self-program... It tries signals till something works.
This isn't blue, but y'all might like this wine...if you can find it.
It's "Red Mountain Laurel" from Chateau Morrisette in SW Virginia. It's sweeter than I usually like wine to be. But it sort of has a scuppernong taste to it.
In other news, I'd be in bed now, but I gotta go pick up Jr. when the youth choir gets back from their trip to Baltimordor.
Well...I got one. It doesn't scan. You can manually make it scan, but it isn't working.
*sigh*
I should know better than to get the cheapest anything. Guess I gotta take it back, but I'm not sure I wanna go tonight.
Grrrrrr! I really wanted to just relax and watch some 24 tonight.
What's "it" - the remote? or the DVD player ;~D
