Hi,

Today I received a new BR4 Remote from the Dutch Bryston importer.
I will use the BR4 for controlling a BDP-1.
The BR4 works fine (I'm happy with it!).  There was no need to set any codes to operate the BDP-1.
However, I cannot work out how to change the batteries in the future.

On either side of the remote , there are two small Phillips screws which I removed, plus the metal End Pieces.
However, the batteries are still not accessible then;
I suspect you have to slide  the PCB out (via the rails inside the "extruded" Remote body)  to get access to the battery compartment (on the PCB)..
However, the sliding of the PCB seems to be hindered by the operation buttons (I did not want to apply too much force, so I stopped) ...
Is this the correct method, or is there a hidden trick?

Any suggestions on the right procedure? 
(The battery exchange method is not mentioned in the provisional BR4 User's manual (only the required device codes for the different equipment models), see:

Thanks for some guidance on this issue!

Regards,  Martin

I'm also wondering  .

Just unscrew the back, slide the PCB partially out, put in two new AAA batteries. Push the PCB back in, screw the back on. Then you're good to go.

Dear Gary,

Thank you very much for your reply!  Well appreciated! All clear!.
Also the Dutch Importer has reverted in the meantime  and also confirmed your directions.

(I was just not 100% sure whether I would not damage something  by pushing/sliding  the PCB  as it is very stiff in its “rails”.
Now I know for sure that this is the correct procedure).

Gary, I understood that you did design this remote (nice design BTW) so this information comes First Hand.

Thanks again!.

Have a good day!

Cheers,

Martin
