Nakamichi Nakamichi Shockwafe 7.1 7.2 9.2 DTS:X/Atmos SSE Soundbar Remote Control

Purchased a replacement about 6 months ago, didn’t have all the features that the original had, this replacement was absolutely perfect with all the proper buttons. As good as the original

My Doberman loved my original controller so much I had to purchase a new one. Worked perfect.

I purchased the new $30 “SSE” Remote from Amazon and I can confirm several things with how it operates with my 2018 version of the 9.2 Shockwafe, which came with the “DTS:X” remote.When I asked Ray from Nakamichi if there were any changes to the new remote other than the slightly revised button labels. He said “The SSE remote is made in a different factory.”1. I can comfirm the “DTS:X” and “SSE” remotes are 99% identical under up close inspection — except for two improvements.2. The IR infrared transmitter is much better on the new remote. I can successfully transmit button presses to the soundbar at a wider range pointing higher and lower, left and right! If you look at the clear bubble at the end (the transmitter), the new one has the silver emitter inside positioned closer to the end of the clear tip. So its signal has a wider broadcast spread. This is huge for anyone who has been frustrated by the more narrow cone of the original DTS:X remote.3. The backlighting behind the clear buttons on the remote is noticably better on the new remote. The LED lights are brighter and the buttons are more uniformly illuminated.So 2017 and 2018 Shockwafe owners should consider spending the $30 for the new remote if you have been frustrated by the narrow range of transmitting. I also just like having an extra remote to give someone else in the room so they can have volume, bass or other controls.

I’ve owned the 7.1.2 Shockwafe for 3 years and love it. Remote got damaged and with the amount of settings you can adjust I had to get a factory replacement. Took a little long to ship than previously stated but worth it.

my old remote stopped working. this one works right out of the package.
