Oppo BDP-93 remote/sensor issue

Any idea why the unit would stop responding to remote commands?  The remote itself lights up, but not sure if it's transmitting or if it's a problem with the player receiving.  I've refreshed the batteries, cleaned off all pertinent areas of the remote and IR receiver window.  The unit's 7 buttons are fine, but I can only play CD OR SACD on it, since I can't maneuver the menu on any video discs (BLU-RAY, DVD, etc).  All those buttons are on the remote.  Any help out there please?

Thanks !

@xmbw4 , yes, if no one else chimes in with other trouble shooting ideas, I will have to get another remote to see if that fixes the issue.  thanks.

You’ve done what AI suggests, it does mention using the phone camera and flashing the remote at it to see if it emits a signal. Other than that get a replacement remote. Here’s one on Amazon for cheap with a return poilicy. Cheers , Mike B.  https://a.co/d/0i1kCZYP

Apparently the camera on our phones can see the signal when our eyes can’t. Put the question in AI and maybe you can understand the answer better than I. I had a similar problem with the remote on my Yamaha DSP receiver and had to buy a replacement remote.
