All I wanted to do was make a Sony DVD remote run on a power adapter instead of batteries (for a business application). The remote uses 3v from 2 AA batteries so i got a 3vdc 500ma power adapter from Radio Shack connected with a mini phone jack. Well some of the buttons worked but some either didn't or were erratic. I check the voltage on the power adapter and it was 3.8v so i took it back and got a 3vdc 1000ma adapter that checked at 3.1v so i tried that one and same problem. Put the batteries back in and it works fine.
I've done this on other remotes the same way with no problems but this one seems to be picky. I imagine the power isn't clean enuff but i don't have a scope to check. Can i just put a electrocap across the power? or something like that....
Thanks
