  Martha OlsenJul 30, 2025
  If the device you are trying to control does not respond to the infrared command from the Revox Remote Control, consider these possibilities: First, some sources may not send infrared codes for all buttons; check your device's manual to see if the buttons have a grey border, indicating they send infrared codes. Also, the display shows a symbol in the top right corner when an infrared code is sent. Second, the device might be too far away or the angle is too wide. Try moving closer to the device and point the remote control directly at it.

  The mechanical noise you hear from the Revox Remote Control M208 is due to the two gold bearings in the movement sensor moving against each other. This is normal and doesn't indicate a fault, especially if heard in a very quiet environment.
