Remote working properly?

... Lifting the remote so the plastic bottom 'looks' at the D seems to help.

My 200's wall mounted in a slight alcove, and that works best for me too - although sometimes I get lucky and don't need to pick it up or move it.
When it was horizontal I rarely had issues.

It's the only thing I don't like about the remote really (although a couple more buttons and a screen would be nice obvs). I think its beautiful and generally receives more comments than the 200, that is until someone picks it up (or rather rotates it without picking it up) and it doesn't do anything But anyway I like having this strange almost sculptural thing on the coffee table, and it's very tactile and lovely to use.

Hate to say it but the best remote I have (practically speaking) is for the Amazon FireTV box, which is bluetooth AFAIK. Its crappy plastic, but in that realm it looks better than some, is quite functional, is tiny, and it literally works anywhere. And you can talk to it. What more could you want.
