Jo, I just did the most interesting experiment. I sat down in front of the two vcrs. Turned both on.
I put a piece of metal in front of the remote (so there would be no line of site) I pressed POWER, and the two VCR's went off.
So even behind a metal thing, the remote will control both vcrs.
I then took a BIG pillow (No cardboard cover on the right one at this point), and I propped the pillow so it just stood against the right set-up.
the remote had no effect on the right vcr.
Now I don't know what this means, but I don't need the cardboard box anymore. I'll just prop a big pillow on the nightstand so it covers the entire right set-up, and I'll be good to go.
I did not find the sensor thing on the vcr. Don't even know what it looks like. I would like to know where it is.
Going to do a search on google to find out where the sensor is on a vcr.
Thanks for your help
