What's the chances of this Let me explain :

Here’s the thing,
Just purchased an Arcam DV 27-A to go with my Krell Showcase Processor and Showcase 7 Channel Amp.
When I’m in the set up channel of the Arcam DVD player and press the cursor key it switches the Krell processor to a different input and I loose the screen on the monitor, Only way to get back the picture is to switch between another input then back to DVD on the processor.

Called Arcam to day “Very nice and polite” was advised that there remote frequency is the same as the Krell frequency and were a wear of the problem and apologized and said there wasn’t anything they could.

Called Krell was advised that they didn’t know about the problem with Arcam components BUT have heard of other brand of components doing the same.
Then the service guy just stars going on about I should have bought a Krell standard DVD player instead of the Arcam.

“Yeah what ever”

Well now I’m looking at getting a Philips ProntoPro TSU6000 remote and using the RF adapter with it.

Will this fix my problem and is there anybody that is controlling Krell and Arcam components with this or any other RF remote?

Thanks for the advice and ideas

I have the same situation with my xport and CD burner. A solution I thought of (but haven't tried) would be to get 4 pieces of polarizing film. Cut one to fit each remote, and put them in with their axes 90 degress apart. Install the film on each device over the sensor so its axis is parallel to that on the remote.
Polarized film has the characteristic that, when the axes are parallel or nearly so, they allow full light through, but when their axes are perpendicular they block it almost completely.
Once you've done this, one remote should not affect the other device (unless you use it sideways!)
