Weird Luxman/Exposure remote interactions

Not sure where to post this question, but since the new Luxman integrated appears to be the culprit, I will post here.

I just bought a new Luxman integrated amp. I use an Exposure 3010s2 CD player. The Luxman remote messes with the Exposure CD player. When I press the up volume the player backs up one song. When I change to a different input the player goes into Program mode. There is no logic as to what button does what, and I am not using the CD player buttons on the Luxman remote. The Exposure remote has no ill effects on the Luxman operation. Anyone have any ideas? I checked with the Luxman dealer but he had not run across this before. I have not contacted luxman or Exposure yet, but thought I would ask here. It is not a major deal, but it sure is frustrating.

What you’re describing is a close match in carrier radio operating frequency between components. The bandwith is in MHz ...

Not likely. The remotes on components such as the OP's are almost invariably infrared. The problem is not uncommon and the remedy is a universal remote. Most components can accept alternate codes for common functions and you'll need to program the universal remote to take advantage of those options. I'm surprised your dealer is not familiar with this.
