Does DVD play/FF/REv light up when light button pressed? One answer said "MOST DO" (not sure what that meant)

Only "OK circle" & "Guide/home" light up. You can press the "light" button to see them light up.

The back light is strictly manually. However the button is located at the very base of the remote making it very easy to find in the dark. You can find the PDF file of the manual here: http://www.universalremote.com/resources/pdfs/wr7_manual.pdf

No trick other than pressing and holding the button. You can't just click it, must hold the button down (plus for brighter, minus for darker). If that doesn't work, the dimmer must be bad.

Only the power button lights up when buttons are pushed. Nothing else on the remote lights up.

There is a small white knob / button on the left side of the door frame. When the door opens its supposed to press the button in to light up the chandelier. We were having trouble getting the door to make contact with that button and the chandelier wouldn't light up. We just messed around with it or simplly pushed it in another way to get the light to come on. It seems like you are having a lot more trouble than the chandelier though. I'm not trying to be insulting but did you install the batteries? Hope this helps......

Yes my remote has the button on the back. However I have no idea what this button is for, sorry I couldn't help you.

That's what I wondered too, if it needed to "warm up" first, or be in an extra-dark room. You may have a faulty one too like me. I had to tap on it near the bottom & turn it upside down & hold it it at an angle to get it to light up-not what you should do to make it work! Email Amazon & they'll fwd it to Scientifics & they should email you back w/phone #. I called them today & they said Fedex would pick it up next day & send me another one. So hope next one works! Good luck with yours! :)

I found a partial workaround solution for my problem (like yours) of the unit turning off a few seconds after turning it on. I press (and hold) the Stop button, and then the On button, and continue to press them both until the blue SA-CD light and the blue MultiChannel light go off, and then back on again. After that, the unit works ! Except that the LCD panel remains blank. Many (perhaps all) of the front panel buttons work. I still need to experiment to see if the remote works, and to what extent. Sony gave me the choice of a refurbished unit, or to repair mine, under warranty. Anybody got an opinion on which is the way to go ?

The left button should dim the lamp. The right button will make it brighter. The sensor eye position is critical to read commands from the remote. I have found that the light is slow to respond to the remote. I believe that is normal as the 2 that I have act the same.

Thanks for the question. When operating in remote, there is a limit to the 1.5m this product. In addition, other buttons and one button can be combined. If these do not work, I can be considered initial defect. You have to's instructions, but it needs to be reported to the seller that it did not move. You can ask for exchange or refund to the seller. Or, I recommend that you consult the Amazon. I think that it can be resolved in these. Thanks in advance.

My remote works pretty good. I generally only use it in the morning with the radio alarm to hit snooze. So in the dark and when I'm tired I just hit buttons in the middle of it (if you hit the red power button it shuts the alarm all the way off) until it switches to snooze on the display and I roll over for a few precious minutes of extra sleep.If I were you I would check the battery in it first - even new button batteries have been doa to me.

Hello E. R.! My sincere regrets on hearing about the issue. A little more information about the actual state of the equipment would be very helpful in assisting. If there is not any backlighting apparent when turning on the unit, it could be a faulty contact under the "On" button or a blown fuse. Was anything spilled on the controller or have you ensured the quality of A/C coming from the wall? If you can, please provide more details on symptoms and what you have tried thus far in troubleshooting. Thanks, and best of luck! :)

I have two of these RC65RBK remote controllers. It certainly DOES have backlit keys. Press any key; it lights up. Press the little button on the right side of the unit and it lights up. If people are saying that it doesn't light up, then I suspect they're not talking about the RC65RBK.

The button does, indeed, barely depresses at all t turn the lamp on so, maybe that isn't the problem. This lantern can operate with only 4 batteries or with the full complement of 8. Please check your battery installation and make sure that the batteries have been inserted correctly and are all good. Also be sure that the bottom of the unit is screwed on very straight. I remember that this was the most dificult part of the assembly and others have commented on it. If, after you have done these things and the light still does not come on,you may have a defective switch or some other connection which is not making proper contact. Stay with this light, it is great. The button does, indeed, barely depresses at all t turn the lamp on so, maybe that isn't the problem.
