I will try one more time. I don't see any indication that the OP purchased a refurbished SP4805 from Infocus according to the advertisement referenced here or if he was one of the many that have purchased a refurbished SP4805 according to a different sale advertisement from Infocus or other retailers. Obviously all SP4805s originally come from Infocus but different sellers sell according to different terms. There was a long thread regarding refurbished SP4805s being sold for $500. There have been other threads referring to different lots of refurbished SP4805s referenced here. I expect all of them were refurbished by and came from Infocus. The terms of the sale can certainly be different and the purchase terms referred to will likely be included in the SP4805 box. Some posters here seem to be assuming that Infocus has violated the terms of their own sale. I assume that Infocus did not violate the terms of the sale unless the OP indicates that he in fact did purchase according to the terms as disclosed in the referenced ad and not as the slip included in his box indicates. I find Infocus to be a reputable company and likely has done nothing wrong here. Still, all companies make mistakes and it is possible Infocus did in fact make a mistake here, I just can't come to that conclusion from reading the OP original statement.
The page referenced here on the Infocus site is not a specification sheet as described, it is an offer to sell a refurbished SP4805 according to the terms disclosed for that specific sale. A previous sale could very well have been according to different terms. If indeed the OP did purchase from that specific ad then I agree, a remote should be included. This isn't rocket science, different sales of refurbished products can be according to different terms, whether from Infocus or any other seller.
I hope I have made this simple concept clear finally but the original poster can come back and refer to the ad that was the basis of his sale and the terms of the sale will likely be very plain. If as I expect it was one of the inexpensive refurbs, it had the common disclaimer and the seller made no guarantee of having a remote control included.
