I used Jim's prop the remote to one side technique and it seems to be working much better. I did notice that the remote also seems to be sound sensitive. To get it to come on, just snap your fingers near it. Has anyone else noticed this? Im wondering if it is the sound vibrations that are causing it, Im tempted to take the berrings out just to see if this is the case. Is there anyone out there that has already modified the sensor that can try this?
