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

Thanks for the quick replies.
I don’t won’t to sell the Arcam or the Krell It’s just crazy that you can’t just get a remote to control both units individually.
I have been reading a lot of remote forums and web sites “Bloody hell didn’t know there was so much to learn about remotes”, Is there any body out there that could program a Philips ProntoPro TSU6000 to work my Krell components and my Arcam DVD player, would pay if needed..

Thanks Again

OK PEOPLE HERE”S THE DEAL!!

Spoke with mike from Audiophile systems (Main dealer for Arcam) very nice guy.
He explained that the Arcam uses a Code Set 25 (all command start out with the number 25) and that I can copy all the codes from another Arcam DVD player then edit the codes from a code set 25 to a #12 code set (change the # 25 to a 12) save the list and load in to the Pronto pro then go in to the “secret” screen in the Arcam DVD player and change it from a code set #25 DVD player to a code set #12 DVD player.
When completed you can now control the DVD and Krell components separately.

So PRPIXEL I guess I wont be hearing the “I TOLD YOU SO “speech.

Oh yeah I purchased a BRAND NEW FACTORY sealed ProntoPro TSU-6000 for $495.00 + Shipping so Prpixel I don’t know where you shop but I ain't going there!!

Cheers all for the Help :)
