The easiest way to see if an IR remote control is transmitting a siganl or not is to check it with a digital camera. Even though IR is invisible to the human eye, it can be detected by the electronic sensors on a digital camera. If you have a digital camera or camera phone, point the remote at the cameras lens and look at it through the screen of the camera. Press a button on the remote and you should see a pale purple light pulsing on the front of the remote. If you don’t get any light, try replacing the cameras batteries.
