I have come across a strange problem. I have a house that has an
entertainment center that operates on a remote. It's been there for
years and works great.
Two months ago I had a new wall unit a/c installed with a remote
control. Now when
the a/c automatically turns on, the entertainment system goes on and
off. We have always had a wall unit with no problems. The electric
checks out, so theres no problem that anyone can find. The only thing
someone suggested is that the remote sensors talk to each other.
Anyone had this problem?

Just a thought, I had a friend who's
TV remote system was driven nuts by
a compact fluorescent bulb installed
in a table lamp. It could be possible,
if you have a CFL near your TV, that
a voltage drop occurring when your
AC starts up could cause a frequency
shift in the output circuitry of the
CFL that mimics a remote control.
A CFL lamp uses a high frequency
electronic ballast operating in the
range of 40 kHz which is similar to
the frequency range that IR remotes
operate in. I wonder if you are using
any CFL lamps around your entertainment
center?
