Here's one for you guys. Yesterday the remotes on my Sanyo 32" TV and my
Mintek DVD player stopped working. Well, they didn't stop but rather only
worked from a foot away from the remote sensors. At first I only noticed the
TV's remote didn't work. So I put new batteries in it then cleaned the remote
sensor. Still wouldn't work. Finally, I tried my DVD player to finish
watching a DVD. I then discovered it was doing exactly the same thing as my TV
remote, working from just a foot away. I checked the batteries and they were
fine. Then I tried my vcr's remote. It worked fine. Then I tried my TV and
DVD remotes. Suddenly they were working again from across the room. What they
heck was going on? The only thing I could think of was that RF from my Ten-Tec
Omni 6 Plus was getting into the TV and the DVD's remote sensoning circuitry.
The Sanyo TV was bought in October 2001. The Mintek DVD player was bought in
July 2003. The VCR is about from 1998. Also this has happ
ened b4. My tv remote stops working then after several hours mysteriously
starts working again. I was not using the DVD player at those time, so I don't
know if that was screwing up too. But do you think it could be RF from my
100-watt rig getting into the remote sensoning circuitry and screwing it up for
a few hours??
