Flash Remote

The unit was not scratched in the original package, but after one year of careful use I suddenly noticed that one corner has turned blue. I don't recall touching anything with it, but it's the only logical explanation I can find. On the back the blue appeared where there is a small scratch. The worrying thing is that you can rub off the paint very easily.
As Steve Caterall's post shows, I'm not the only one with this problem. Maybe it's a series of Flash remotes who have this problem. Mine is from the 153xxx series.
Thanks for your kind offer to have a look at the unit. I really appreciate it. I'll send you the Flash tomorrow so that you can have a look at this phenomenon.

Ciao!

When purchasing a CDSII do you have to buy the Flash also?

Yes, it's part of the package. As far as I know there is no possibility to order a CDS II without Flash remote.

Ciao!

I am useless at computer type things, eg I still cannot fathom out how to use the smilees.

However, I find the flash remote dead easy to use and it looks and feels good.

Its a pity about not being able to operate the tuner but for the Cd, its an absolute doddle.

i dont believe it. next time you send a posting, include the following sequence of characters next to each other and see what it looks like:

a colon, followed immediately by a capital D

or a semicolon followed immediately by closing round parenthesis, i.e ")"

there is an eaier way though, you can simply click on the smiley icons at the bottom of your posting and the appropriate graphics will be added to the end of your message.

however, i do not believe you are missing anything by not using smileys.

enjoy

ps: oh, subject to what i said in another posting, i quite like the Flash too -- i havent tried any other remote gismo though, so this may be considered a biased and uninformed preference!!!

Ok here goes

Regards

PS if no smilees appear, I give up,D

Members,

I seem to be putting new batteries in every 3/4 weeks (yes, the right 'AA' ones)and I only use it once or twice an evening. The rest of the day it sits in 'auto' mode, alseep on the shelf.

What are yor experiences, apart from the fact alot of members don't like it!

Phil

P.S. could not find a thread which mentions eating batteries as being an issue?

I've not replaced the batteries in mine since purchasing my CDS2 back in June. I can't recall whether the batteries were new at that time, or the old ones from the store (it we a demo). However, I don't use mine much (maybe once a week), but it's always lighting up whenever it senses me moving around the room.
