DVD player remote control
Came home this evening intending to watch a DVD and found that the DVD remote control wasn't working (though it was working perfectly well yesterday). I have tried:
1. Replacing the batteries - it now has batteries that I know to be good in it
2. Unplugging + replugging in the DVD player
The remote doesn't seem to be giving off any infrared signal (I can't see a red light where one normally appears). The DVD player works when using the controls on the box itself.
What really obvious thing am I missing/have I forgotten to check?
Am I better (1) buying a universal remote that does DVD players from Argos or (2) buying a replacement RC2K16 (model no. of remote) from the internet? [Never watching DVDs again isn't an option, there aren't enough options on the front of the DVD player to make using it without a remote really viable, replacement remotes are cheaper than replacement DVD players]
