Remote Control Clash
My “in-laws” have just bought a new TV, VCR, DVD & Freeview set top box and muggins got the job of setting it all up.
It all works ok but when you try to navigate the channels on the Freeview box by using the down arrow button on the remote control, the TV accepts it as a signal to turn the volume up. To make things worse, the channel up/down buttons on the VCR remote control cause the channels on the TV to change. This doesn’t happen all the time. If you scroll from 1 to 5 it changes the VCR channel as far as about channel 3 or 4, then starts changing the TV channels. A similar thing happens if you go the other way from 5 down to 1 – it works ok for the first few channels and then starts changing the TV. Anyone got any ideas how to resolve this one? My in-laws won’t be receptive to “take it all back to the shop” as they got it all cheap. I think they would swap the Freeview box as it wasn’t part of the deal they got on the TV, VCR, DVD, but I’m worried about them going to all that trouble and finding that the next Freeview box does the same. And anyway, it doesn’t resolve the VCR problem. The TV is a Toshiba 28N23B, the VCR is a Toshiba V633UK/V233UK and the Freeview box is a Daewoo DS608P. |
