This is my first venture here, but I figured you are the folks to ask about this. Yesterday the remote for my 11-year-old 27" Panasonic semi-flat-screen TV started acting funny. It wouldn't work over about 4 or 5 feet away from the set. If it was really close, everything was fine. But I usually sit 8-10 feet away, so it was a real drag. The batteries were changed, but still it would only work up close. Today it's working some from normal range, but sometimes the buttons have to be pressed 2 or 3 times. Any thoughts?The picture on the TV is still exceptional, so I'm not about to jettison it. Are there any sources for OEM remotes?
Thanks for the help.
Follow Ups:
Make sure the batteries are new, clean the remote sensor on the television with a damp cloth and do the same on the remote itself. If that doesn't fix it, you can either buy one of the learning remotes (they're getting cheaper by the day) or one of the preprogrammed remotes.Most of these will let you know which brands and types of components they will control on the back of the box. The learning remotes will learn the commands from your current remote. You might even use one of these to cut down on the amount of remotes you use by having it learn commonly used commands from them. The preprogrammed remotes have many codes built in from different manufacturers, but aren't able to learn commands from other remotes.
As always, check for compatibility first.
