Just a note to those out there receiving the newest alotment of the 'last of the Riocars' from SonicBlue. I received mine yesterday and the remote worked for one day before the battery died. When it happened I initially thought the remote was busted because it completely ceased to work on the third button press of entering a search. It was the fact that my player has a sticker on it indicating that it was manufactured in May 2001 that made me immediately think of the age of the battery in the remote.

So I assume a new battery took care of it?

I also had a May unit and my battery died in about a week. Fortunately the FAQ mentioned that so I didn't panic.

I thought I had the same problem initially, but after changing batteries, it acted up again. VERY intermintent! My remote was replaced free of charge, and have had no problems since.
