Panasonic Hi-Fi remote problems

[fingaz]

Hi all,

I have a panasonic Hi-Fi model SA-AK200. I've had this stereo for about 4 years, and last week the stereo stopped responding to the remote control. I know the remote is transmitting 'something'. I've replaced the IR detector in the stereo, but still no luck.

The remote is definitely transmitting some signal when any of the buttons are pressed, I have one of those IR remote watches. It is able to detect a signal from the remote.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Could be the remote, it could be the receiver? - you need to try another remote on your stereo, or your remote on another stereo.

I've sorted it!

Who would have thought that I'd replace the faulty photo-transistor with another faulty one? I've swapped it again and now it all works fine. . .

I'd have thought =O I've done the same thing more than once, mostly with computer components.
