I have an MX-850 paired with an MRF-260 which I've been using for about 7 years. This morning my remote wasn't working on a lot of the presses. Occasionally it would work but predominantly it wouldn't. I moved to the area where my equipment was sitting (a dressing room off my Master Bedroom) and when I hit the buttons everything was working fine.
I did a little trouble shooting and discovered that once you left the room and got a few feet away the control stops working. The strange thing is that the lights on the MRF-260 continue to light indicating it received the command and the IR flasher blinks (only one of my flashers blinks when it gets commands) even though nothing changes.
I have two different MX-850s and both exhibit the same behavior. I don't have a spare MR-260. Is it possible my MRF-260 is failing? The fact that it continues to blink indicating the command was received and the IR flasher continues to flash is giving me pause that it is an MRF-260 issue but perhaps it isn't sending a strong enough signal? I did try changing the IR Receiver ID from 3 to 5 and it didn't fix the problem.
BTW, my IR is turned off on the Receiver so when I am close it is definitely changing the equipment via RF and not IR. I also confirmed by doing the change with the remote being blocked to the equipment.
Thanks for the help.
