Thanks to those that have read my post and to those that responded.

As it turns out Canon make 2 remotes with the same model code (WL-D80). One has 3 more buttons than the other and comes with the MV-600i. The one without those 3 extra buttons comes with the MV-600.

It was just my luck to buy an MV-600i that came with the MV-600 remote and render my purchase almost useless.

Thankfully I have found the correct remote for sale on eBay and it’s in the post.

In record mode i’m assuming you mean camera mode (as opposed to play back mode). In camera mode the only input it recognises is that from the cameras own lense not the AV input.
