I have an original Philips TV remote, but it does not work with the modulo D amp. I've wired pushbuttons to the spare processor inputs (PD0, PD1, PD2) so can control the amp that way. It would be good to get the remote working though.
I noted that the magazine article photos show the IR receiver mounted 180 degrees rotated, with its leads bent backwards. The silk screening on the board I bought from Elektor has he receiver facing the other way (window facing inwards toward the display). I've followed the PCB tracks and my device seems to be the right way round (agrees with the PCB silk-sctreen). That's always assuming the receiver supplied in the Elektor kit was the correct part. Has anyone else managed to make the IR control work?
