Backlit remote for Bryston BCD1

Thanks guys, looks like you are having a little more luck than me though. I put mine in complete darkness and nothing. The reviewer in Stereophile said "my friends are amazed when they come in and pick up the remote how it lights up".

Perhaps the batteries are dead?

When you put it in complete darkness, did you try pressing a button?

Also, I should have added in my previous post that I have not found the illumination to be motion-sensitive.

Thanks Al - the batteries should be ok as I use the remote with no problems.

Funny you should say yours is not motion sensitive also. The brochure and manual make no mention that it is motion sensitive, it was only after reading the Stereophile review , or it possibly was a Soundstage review that I got curious........now I have you and everybody else thinking they have problems with too (hehe). I will see what comes of this thread by tomorrow and maybe call the company and post the answer so Bryston don't end up receiving a million "faulty" remotes next week.

Yes, I pressed many buttons in the dark - no luck.

Hi Almarg, I called the company and figured it out. Hold down the "code" key and type in 792 and this will activate the motion sensor. They don't ship with this activated as it might run the batteries down.

Wow! Thanks, Tom!

So does yours now illuminate?

Best regards,
