The remote for my Panasonic DVD-S27 is the first I've seen that won't bounce off walls or even mirrors to control the unit. I'd like it to do that because it's set up behind the viewing couch next to a projector for a short cable run. The batteries are brand new. Could its particular type of infrared LED be the problem, and could it be changed with no ill effects? I'd prefer not to attach an infrared booster unless I have no other choice. Thanks.

What are the advertised range and maximum angle of the remote? Perhaps your reflected path is just too long or your mirror is not angled properly.

Perhaps
I've tried all possible angles, even putting a mirror just a foot away with the total distance being about two feet. I only need to reflect off a projector screen (and/or wall) 12-15 feet in front of the sitting position and that's effortless for my other remotes.

won't
That would be my last option since there are a lot of unit-specific functions for this DVD player.

Perhaps the receiver PD is a narrow angle? Did you try other remotes?
