It's actually surprising that this type of problem doesn't occur more often. I have a Zenith TV and a Sony DVD where pressing fast forward triggers the Zenith's picture in picture function. It's a pain, but for me only a minor pain. Your cursor key/input selector problem seems far more serious. As others have said, the Philips Pronto will not solve this problem. You might want to contact a custom HT installer and see if they can configure a remote relay device with switching capabilities. Otherwise, and I know you don't want to hear this, get the matching Krell DVD player.
What's the chances of this Let me explain :
Here’s the thing,
Just purchased an Arcam DV 27-A to go with my Krell Showcase Processor and Showcase 7 Channel Amp.
When I’m in the set up channel of the Arcam DVD player and press the cursor key it switches the Krell processor to a different input and I loose the screen on the monitor, Only way to get back the picture is to switch between another input then back to DVD on the processor.
Called Arcam to day “Very nice and polite” was advised that there remote frequency is the same as the Krell frequency and were a wear of the problem and apologized and said there wasn’t anything they could.
Called Krell was advised that they didn’t know about the problem with Arcam components BUT have heard of other brand of components doing the same.
Then the service guy just stars going on about I should have bought a Krell standard DVD player instead of the Arcam.
“Yeah what ever”
Well now I’m looking at getting a Philips ProntoPro TSU6000 remote and using the RF adapter with it.
Will this fix my problem and is there anybody that is controlling Krell and Arcam components with this or any other RF remote?
Thanks for the advice and ideas
