You are probably right. Perhaps I am just trying to talk
myself into
buying new gear! But I do like theQuadremote, the only
one my old
mother can operate without any instructions!
I am nonetheless very interested if anyone has any insight
into what
might be the fault of the unit.
No special knowledge (be warned!), but it seems to me that
the problem must be in whatever the knob on theremoteis
attached to.
I just learned a clever way of troubleshooting remote controls: use a
digital camera to check when the infra red LED are excited! By this
method I do know now that it is indeed the remote that is faulty. I
have opened the unit and look around, but did not see anything obvious
wrong.
I will let the local Quad service workshop have a look at it.
Thanks for all hints!
