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
