How does the InteracTV™ system work? The InteracTV™ system uses the same technology that your DVD player's remote control uses. The red window on the front of the InteracTV™ controller sends an invisible signal that can be "seen" by your DVD player.
How far away can I use the InteracTV™ controller from the TV? You should be able to play with the InteracTV™ at a reasonable distance from your DVD player. This distance will vary depending on your DVD player. Please note that there are many things that can reduce the strength of the signal from your InteracTV™ controller. Some of the things that can affect the signal are your DVD player's location, objects between your InteracTV™ controller and your DVD player, and the lighting in the room that you are using your InteracTV™ system in.
For the strongest possible signal, please note the following:
Always make sure there are no large objects between your InteracTV™ controller and your DVD player. Large objects can block the signal between your controller and DVD player.
Make sure you are using fresh alkaline batteries inside your InteracTV™ controller.
