Backlit remote for Bryston BCD1


Just got a Bryston BCD1 off Audiogon and everything seems fine. However, I was reading a Stereophile online review of the unit and it mentioned that the remote has a motion sensor, that is, it lights up when you pick it up. Mine isn't lighting at all. I downloaded the user manual and no mention of this. I would call the company but it is Saturday night and thought popping the question on here might be quicker. Anyone with a BCD 1 have any insight?

I have a BCD-1 also. The illumination on the remote seems to be sensitive to the amount of lighting that is present in the room. It seems to come alive when a button is pressed AND it is in a darkened area.

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.
