preamp remote won't work??


I have a Acurus RL-11 preamp and the remote decided to not work. It's not the obvious(batteries), and I am thinking it is the remote control, but before I go buy a replacment, is it likely to be something else with the preamp?

If it works like the Jeff Rowland models, you might want to read this thread. I got mine to work by holding a paper clip across both battery terminals inside the remote for a couple of minutes.

5. Remove the battery cover from the remote, and take the batteries out.

Find a paper clip, and unwind & shape it into a "U" shape, such that each end of the paper clip can touch the two adjacent battery connectors (the two metal pieces that are closet together).

Touch the paperclip's ends to the battery connectors so that they are now "connected." Leave them connected for about 10 seconds.

Put the batteries back in, and try again.

Does the remote work after replacing the batteries?

Yes - That's all - enjoy your Vidabox!
