Squishman Audioholic Samurai Jul 1, 2017 2,528 0 38 66 Oct 14, 2021 #1 When I first turn on my system after work, the remote is dead. Until I take the battery cover off and remove and replace one, the same battery. Or maybe I will just rotate one or both of them to get the contacts fresh. Then it works fine. These are new alkaline AAA's. Tried another set of new ones, tried scraping the contacts with a sharp knife and also all 4 battery ends. Anyone else experience this with this remote? Perhaps switch to lithium AAA's?

Squishman Audioholic Samurai Jul 1, 2017 2,528 0 38 66 Oct 20, 2021 #6 1.5. Just checked.... but something would be quite fishy if they were anything else, being the same AAA format.

Squishman Audioholic Samurai Jul 1, 2017 2,528 0 38 66 Oct 20, 2021 #9 Really. I am no expert. But I always thought 1.5 v. with AAA, AA and C were standard.

Click to expand... Well, that particular designation also relates to a size, but I think you're right if it's actually labeled with the letters it would be 1.2-1.5 V. I have a flashlight that accepts both an AA or a 14500 (pretty much the same dimensions as the AA) Reactions: Squishman

Squishman Audioholic Samurai Jul 1, 2017 2,528 0 38 66 Oct 21, 2021 #11 It works now in my bedroom system, so there must be a Bluetooth interference in the living room. Brought it back into the living room and it is working for now. Canceling the replacement until I determine what the heck.

Squishman Audioholic Samurai Jul 1, 2017 2,528 0 38 66 Oct 23, 2021 #15 Stopped working again. Different spots, different rooms. The only reason I bought it was Netflix only comes in as PCM 2.0 from that TV. Air antenna and Amazon both come in as DD. So, back it goes!
