Recently purchased a new house, therefore the 1000 Pro has been sitting idly in its packaging waiting for me to get a move on with the unpacking.
Anyhow I started to set up the hi-fi last night but couldn't get any response from the remote, I ignored it and used the iPad app instead.
Today I got round to investigating the issue. I'd seen a few threads on the forum regarding remote/battery issues, should I have been surprised that after removing the back cover I discovered one of the batteries had leaked, and corrosion had set in on both terminals.
After some cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, and the fitting of new batteries everything is functioning as normal.
The Devialet branded batteries that were fitted during the upgrade program was a nice touch, pity they were useless!
After the other battery issues reported, I'd recommend everyone who had their amps upgraded swap out the batteries for some new ones, I've certainly gone back to the trusty copper headed ones.
