remotely

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'from a distance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'right turn volume up see?' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'turn' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'volume' becomes 'tome' (a tome is a large or heavy book).
'up see?' becomes 'ely' (see is a place with a cathedral - e.g. Ely. I am not sure about the 'up' bit.).
'tome' backwards is 'emot'.
'r'+'emot'+'ely'='REMOTELY'

Can you help me to learn more?
