As a former owner of a D200 and now a D220, I have always liked the physical remote control. I recall the silky movement of the volume control for the D200 remote. That's why I was surprised at the volume control for the remote for the D220, which doesn't twirl as easily and actually has almost a bump as I twirl it. It does work but it doesn't feel right. So, should I ask Devialet in France to replace it? On the other hand, I have seen a YouTube video produced for Devialet that shows how to disassemble the remote and apply alcohol to some of the contact points. Should I try that as a first step, assuming it might need some cleaning? That would be strange as it's new but perhaps it's the first thing to try...
