Remote control compatibility

Simply put; can I use one of those neat, new remotes with the old-ass Strato I have on the way?

Well, clear and straight answer to that: it depends. ;)
The Strato can be controlled via IR or IP. If the supports one of these methods (IR should be covered by 100%), then you´re good to go.
If you want to go beyong just replicating transport control functions of the original remote (like displaying cover art, raising lights when the end credits appear), then you´d need IP control.

I apologise for not being clear enough with my question.

I was referring specifically to this remote.

Ah - got it. I thought you were referring to one of universal remotes. :LOL:
Yes, the new Strato-remotes work with the old units as well.
 
Thank you. I did see one for sale on eBay with a "for parts" Strato, but I wanted to make sure. Importing one from the States will quickly cost much more than $50 😅

Is there really no-one inside the EU selling this remote? 😭

Oh, I thought you got one from eBay.
Happy to sell you one. EU price is a bit more than US: €58,- excl. VAT. Just drop me an DM to sort the details.
