Hi,
I had an almost similar problem with my Simaudio remote operating the cd player, until I found out with a lot of rebooting (I'm a slow learner !)what I was doing wrong.
For instance, the cd player would not power on with the remote if the last time I closed it was with the power button on the unit itself. So since I've forced myself to use exclusively the remote to operate the unit, I didn't experience any more problems.
