The 4700 will now turn up its gain and the remote is usable far away and in other rooms.
01/04/00 I've confirmed that this procedure also works on 4000 series receivers. The further away you are when you do this procedure, the better. You may want to repeat the procedure from further away, to max out the gain. Of course, if your receiver has no IR capability, you don't need to shield the IR emitters on the remote. jbuff
