Thanks Martin and Peter,  - Martin you helped me before restore my CD 50 spindle motor so thanks a second time.

I'll check for dust and loose connections.  What's strange is sometimes it works, then stops again.

My bet will be on marginal capacitors. There are a couple in the power supply area as well, 5-6 smaller ones (10-22uF or so) if I remember correctly.

Dear Martin et. al.

I do have an old non-working beomaster 5000.  I wonder if simply swapping out the entire display section- which seems to include the IR receiver - may work in this case?  I'm afraid that my soldering and electronic skills will lead me to a worse problem than the minor annoyance of the remotes not working.  

Or are the questionable capacitors indeed in other areas as you've described?

You could try of course, but the caps in question here are also at the processor board and in the power supply area.

I have the same message on my remote...same problem. Every button returns a "no transmission" message except the muting button. However the mute button doesn't actually mute anything.
