I have come across a strange problem. I have a house that has an
entertainment center that operates on a remote. It's been there for
years and works great.
Two months ago I had a new wall unit a/c installed with a remote
control. Now when
the a/c automatically turns on, the entertainment system goes on and
off. We have always had a wall unit with no problems. The electric
checks out, so theres no problem that anyone can find. The only thing
someone suggested is that the remote sensors talk to each other.
Anyone had this problem?

Never had that problem, but remotes can share some of the same frequencies.
If you look at the "all in one" units you will see they can be programmed to
work various units from different manufacturers. Check to see if one of
yours can be changed.

??? The OP said when the A/C "automatically" comes on -- I took that to
mean without anybody touching the remote.

A little confusing as he wants to know if remotes talk to each other.
Could be that the AC is sending an IR beam when it turns on. I'd try taping
over the sensor on the AC to see what happens.
OTOH, it is late September and getting too cool

That would be strange. Why would it?
