Is the PixiePlus display dark, and does it chirp when any button
is pressed? If so, the PixiePlus Security Keylock is active. See
page 16 for information on how to configure and/or retrieve the
Security Keylock code.
If the Security Keylock is not set, verify that the projector or
monitor powers on normally with its own remote control or
settop controls. If it does not, it may not be plugged in or may
require service.
The PixiePlus does not control the projector/monitor.
Confirm that the IR emitter bud is positioned directly over the
receiver on the IR window of the device you are controlling.
Some devices are sensitive to accurate placement.
Fluorescent lights can interfere with IR signals. Check if the
projector is close to a fluorescent light source. If so, try turning
off the lights. If this restores control, cover the IR emitter bud
and display device IR receiver window with an IR-opaque
shield, such as gaffer’s tape. Some opaque tapes do not block
IR.
Some commands work but others do not.
Power and Source Selection commands are sent by RS-232
and Volume commands are sent by IR. If some commands
work but others are not working, check the wiring type that
matches the codes that are not working.
Control is intermittent
If you are learning a device manufactured by Philips,
