I've got Packard Bell Ir receirver( WinAmp remote). I'm trying to use it with Playstation 2 remote controller. It works well as long as I shutdown the lights. I doesn't work at all when room is dark. I have tried low and high sensivity, but it doesn't solve the problem.

Hi, some remotes work better than others with the Packard Bell Receiver. It sounds like PS2 Remote may not be fully compatible.

I am having the same problem, except with the Packard Bell remote that came with the Packard Bell reciever. If my Packard Bell remote won't work with my reciever, what type of remote WILL work with my reciever, in the dark?

The packard bell remote is designed to work with the receiver. If it does not work, it could be a system incompatibility or defective hardware.

It works fine...as long as the light in the room is on. When I turn the light off, it won't work anymore. I've tried re-learning the remote in the dark, but it does not give a consistent signal and thus can not be learned. If this is a defective remote, how do I get a replacement?

I haven't tested in the dark. This likely to a limitation in the hardware, rather than a defect. If you want a replacement, you can contact us privately.

Thanks.

Can you test to see if one of your working remotes will work in the dark?

Sorry, don't have time to test. Too busy here.

Hi, I own a pb remote, works fine dark or light, only problems with it involves interface software instability, solved by two factors. ! building a USB UIR, and 2, getting some stable software (still looking)
I run XP pro and 98 se on one of my several macines and XP home on another, this device remains reliable as far as signal quality is concerned on all 3 platforms.

Hi, give http://www.pcremotecontrol.com a try.
