Sometimes the conductive sensor pads on the PCB in the remote get dirty and some buttons die...Whenever that happens I usually take apart the remote (if it is possible to do so without destroying it), clean the board and the side of the rubber button sheet that touches it, reassemble and all is well again. An old Panasonic I was using the snot out of for time shifting/archiving a decade ago used to need a remote clean every ~6 months.

BTW Brian. I've got a couple of Sony Umatics that I'd be interested in having the service manuals for VO-1600 and VO-5600. I'm not in a hurry so no need to drag out the waders.
