HDDVD Player Remote Problems

freshticles · 07-03-09, 07:08 PM

I just recently bought a venturer Hd-dvd player to use as an upconverting dvd player. The problem is, the remote is also activating my toshiba hd -a30. Any ideas on how to get around this?

The Venturer is a rebranded Toshiba HD-A3, so there's probably not. Since the A30 is a more capable player, why not just use that one exclusively?

Mainly because of the wear and tear issue. I want it to last as long as possible.

Put some foil in front of the A30's IR sensor. when you want to use the A30, move it to the other player.
