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.

I agree with Al. That seems to be the way my remote works, too.

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".
