Thank you.

my remote for my Muse model nine CD/DVD player goes crazy if the HUMIDITY in the room goes below about 50% and the lower it goes the worse the remote screws up (BTW Muse could not reproduce the effects at their factory)

The thing drives me nuts but sounds (and looks) so damn good I put up with it

:^D

" "Ever happen to you" strange electronics"

I've made it a habit to buy only strange electronics.

Once we become friends they start wanting to borrow money, the car, the lawnmower, weed eater, etc. they never bring them back either!

Was that strange enough?

Sometimes micro processors need to be reset.
I have had equipment that the remote does not work until the unit is shut off and re powered.
Nothing to worry if it happens rarely.

Stuck Relay?
Does the Krell even HAVE a relay?

I drove the neighbors NUTS for a month with an RF remote control set to the same code as theres! Big Fun. I'd step out to the kitchen, aim towards the back windows and see the glow of the TV flicker as I changed channels.
They thought the house was haunted.
