That's too bad. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with your wiring or the remote itself, which is good.

I recommend turning it on and fiddle with the buttons on the remote that DO work, including mute and power off, as well as the menu system, shuffle, etc.

Then hopefully as in my case, the buttons that don't work will come to life .... if this ever happens, soft power down the player and wait, then power it back up and see if they're still working.

I also noticed that at least for now, the duration for which you hold the command on the remote does matter. A short sharp one doesn't usually work ... You need a firm press, about a 1/4 to a 1/2 second ... from memory it feels like you press in on the word "one" and release on the sylable "sec" out of "one-second".
