TV Remote messing with hi-fi

    Hi all, sorry if this is the wrong forum but I'll fire away and ask anyways.

    I recently put a new tv in my place which works fine and no problems other than the fact that when I use the remote to move up through the channels, my stereo switches on and off. It's as if the (+) button on the tv remote is the same as the power button on the hifi. It gets quite annoying after a while but I've no idea on how to fix it other than moving the two things really far from each other. The hifi is a JVC mini system cd player/dab radio.

    Cheers

    Not a great deal you you can do about this really. It's just that the two remotes have the 'same signal' for different purposes. I have a similar problem with remote for kitchen tv affecting tv in room via eye!

    If you can, try moving them apart and turn the hifi to a different angle, so the IR sensor no longer has a 'clear view' of the tv remote.

    Alternatively try 'McGyvering' a little pice of card or plastic on the front panel of the Hifi to 'shield' it from the tv remote. You'll have to point the Hifi remote from a different angle in order for it to 'be seen', but this will get around the issue. I assume you use the tv remote more often than the Hifi remote.

    Sorry not to be able to offer any 'neater' solution, but infra red remotes are a bit like a scatter gun, and spread IR over a fairly wide angle.
