I am trying to control a Marantz DV8300 DVD player with an RC5200. I am using a Plasma-Friendly IR receiver. When using my RC5200, I have control of every function except PLAY, STOP, and PAUSE. With these three function, I have to hit the button about 3 times to get the function to work. If I stand directly in front of the DVD player, away from the IR receiver, and have full control of every function on the first press.
I understand that these plasma-friendly IR receivers filter out certain frequencies. Is it possible that the PLAY/STOP/PAUSE frequencies are that much different than the other functions? Does anyone have a solution that would allow full control of the DVD player (every other device, including a Marantz receiver, works 100%, codes have been recaptured numerous times)? Keeping the cabinet door open is not an option, nor is removing the current PF IR receiver(allows control of Sony HD300 and RCA Tivo).
I would appreciate any help.
