Short range of the remote control

[Yakon42]

Hi my remote controll with new batteries is very
Short range of the remote control
I can use the remote only from 1 meter and the remote must show the receiver

On my remote i dont get that soo short signal but if i dont point at it straight too it i do notice it will not work i was thinking of getting a universal one and see if it will work better i will let u know

Same here on V8 Super. 1 to 1.5 meters is all I can get.

If you are pointing up to your unit it will be weaker, if it on up on a high shelf etc.

I took the cover off my V8 Pro2 and drilled a hole in the front cover where the sensor is.
I can point the remote at the wall behind me and it works now.
the cover is too dark for the remote signal on most of the new V8 stuff.

I agree, If I am pointing the remote upwards angle towards my V8 Nova Orange it often doesn't sense the Remotes Commands but if I am holding the remote slightly above the Receiver (pointing down at it) it does a lot better sensing the remote inputs.

Holding the remote at an even height or above the receiver is much better.

Would have too try that for sure but before i go drilling the hole i would try my universal remote and if it works i would let u know model of the remote that worked good with out the drilling

Just drilled a hole in my V8 Golden front cover. The remote is much more responsive a definite improvement! Thanks for the tip.

I use a harmony universal remote and it works 100% better than the original remote.
