PS3 will not power down
Problem: I issue a command from the PS3IR ‐ 1000 to power off the PS3 but the PS3 does not shut off.
Solution: If you have enabled power sensing in the PS3IR ‐ 1000 but have not connected the power
sensing cable, the PS3IR ‐ 1000 will never power off the PS3. To correct this, connect the power sensing
cable or disable the power sensing feature.
Remote operates inconsistently, range not satisfactory
Problem: My remote works sometimes or I have to move closer to the PS3IR ‐ 1000.
Solution: Most IR remote controls should operate correctly up to 25 feet. Put new batteries in the
remote control to make sure they are fresh. Make sure there is an unobstructed view between the
remote and the PS3IR ‐ 1000. Avoid bright sunlight or very bright incandescent light near the PS3IR ‐ 1000.
Plasma TV screens may also interfere with operation of IR remote controls.
PS3 powers up unexpectedly
Problem: The PS3 powers up unexpectedly. Usually when I am shutting everything down, the PS3
comes on.
Solution: The PS3IR ‐ 1000 normally keeps track of the PS3 power status internally. If you have done
anything manually to the PS3 that affects power that the PS3IR ‐ 1000 is unaware of (powered off PS3
using a game controller, use manual power switch or insert a DVD), the PS3IR ‐ 1000 may be out of sync
regarding power status. If these manual situations result in an undesirable operating environment, you
can use the optional power sensing feature of the PS3IR ‐ 1000 and connect a power sensing cable
between the PS3IR ‐ 1000 and the PS3. With the power sensing feature enabled and properly connected,
unexpected power up is eliminated.
Power sensing not working properly
Problem: I am using power sensing but PS3 not powering up/down correctly.
Solution: Proper operation of PS3IR ‐ 1000 power sensing depends on two things:
•
Connecting a power sensing cable between the PS3 (any USB port and the PS3IR ‐ 1000 PS port).
Verify that this cable is connected properly.
•
Verify that power sensing is enabled (See PS3 POWER SENSING section.)
