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 agree with Prpixel. Programming a pronto isn't fun. Remote central works. Anthem actually had some pre-programmed stuff. I ended up getting a $100 one-for-all and am much happier!
I had a creek pre-amp and a marantz cd. Same problem. Up volume also fast forewarded the cd.....
In you case, how about eliminating remote control from the dvd-just put a piece of tape over the ir eye.
The other choice is to locate the units far enough apart that the remote will only hit one at a time.
