I don't know if there is a setting anywhere to tell it which type of remote you are using.

You may have to use the legacy mconfig to set it.

Wait if you don't have comms connected then I think it should be set as a controller (so it controls itself). You may be able to set that from the front panel.

You may need to "Type it" as well. Check the manual. Idon't think anything is broken you just need to configure it properly for your setup.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
