RE: (ukha_d) OT IR Remote Funnies

[peter.white@xxxxxxx]

On a slightly related note, I used to have a Kenwood hi fi system that was
switched on by a learnt voice command.  I also have a phone that can be
answered
by shouting hello at it when it rings.  Unfortunately, neither are terribly
discriminating when it comes to analysing the voice, so the following
frequently
happened:

Phone rings.
Hifi thinks it heard 'system on' - thus music starts
Phone, on hearing music, thinks it heard 'hello!', answers call.
Generally by this point the dog is also barking wildly.  End result is kind
of a
hightech/lowtech dial-a-disk and one bemused caller!

Ain't technology great!

Pete

You just have to live with it or change your kit.

My old ProSound Pro-Logic decoder used to pick up X10 IR commands. If I
went
to dim the lights the Surround Sound  processor would switch off :-(

ProSound remote didnt affect the IR543 though.

There are only so many combinations of codes that exist and sooner or later
you end up with an unintentional clash.

Hi,

I've just got a nice new Philips HiFi, MC70, all works great, even has an
aux input when I get round to MP3 Playback, heres the problem.

Using the Samsung TV remote, turns the MC70 on into Tuner Mode, using the
Akai video remote does similar, or pressing stop, allows me to change the
bass setting on the HiFi.

I'm asumming that different manufacturers use similar codes to the
Philips. The Philips remote has no effect on either the TV or video, any
suggestions on solving this, or do I just have to live with it ?

Thanks

Stuart
