The radio was about 3 years without any problems. At first I was very satisfied. Now, however, the remote control is defective. I thought no problem, searched the net for a replacement, but was not able to find. But now came the disillusionment. I called down to the technical hotline from Grundig. A friendly staff told me that there is no substitute for the remote control. In the database of spare remote controls, for example. Logitech is not to find the device. Grundig AG was taken over by electronics bankruptcy by the Turkish electronics manufacturer Beko.
