Expert Pro - Remote control battery issue

[james n]

What kind of range can be expected? Do fresh batteries generally work further? My remote works on the coffee table, but not on the sofa, a ~1.5m difference. I changed the batteries, same.

I had a similar issue when i had my D120 upgraded to a 220 Pro. The range of the remote was very poor compared to the original - even with brand new batteries and had a few other funnies with the volume going up and down on its own. After the whole lot went back to France for the CI board, the remote was as good as the when i first had it. Might be worth contacting Devialet to get it checked out.
