    Hi Andy. Couple of questions about that device. How close do you have to be with your phone/tablet for bluetooth to work? Volume control - there are no pictures or even a mention of a remote control buttons thing, I assume it has got one?

    Re: Update

    Hi there. Remote is small and tidy. Have tried to attach a pic. Runs off a watch-type battery. Its basic but does the job. Bluetooth ........ I am sat about 10 foot from it now and it is playing. Bluetooth by design has a limit of about 5 metres (I think).

    Only downside, compared to something more pricy, is getting used to the controls. Although they are minimal, they are 'fiddly' though after a week I am used to them. Examples:
    There are 2x 'modes' - Music and Movie. A single button on the remote controls this, but the only way you know is that 2 lights flash on the unit (for music) and 3 flash for movie.
    Status lights - for most functions, a blue light means it the mode is 'on' and the green light 'off' Except Optical, which seems to be vice versa ?
    Volume - again, controlled from remote or unit itself, but there are no numbers or indications of level except for the 5 blue lights on the unit which I adjust via trial and error (5 lights loud, 0 lights quiet - several levels in between). This can be got around by connecting via HDMI / ARC and using your TV remote to control volume and power.

    It'll more than do me for the price.
