My DENON 3801 remote (#883) started acting up on the weekend.
It only works if you hold it within 3 feet of the equipment, whether it be the Rcvr, DVD, projector or CD player. Everything else works fine....macros still work....program codes for other equipment still in-place...
I changed the batteries to a known good set and then to a new out-of-package set. No difference! I cleaned it hoping that it was only some dirt on the emitting end of the remote. Nothing?
Anyone have any ideas what could cause this now 'distance challenged' remote?? My dealer told me this morning to come in and order a new one? $100+ Good for him, not for me!!
This unit was purchased in 2001 but only came out-of-the-box 7 months ago.
