Hope that will work for you Peter. When I asked my local dealer to fix my (then) brand new DVD2 he said they couldn't do this.
Instead, he referred me to an outside company that was prepared to do it but was going to charge 125 GBP for it... I kindly turned down that offer, did an internet search on the methodology, and - after some experimentation with different remote controls - managed to get it to work, never had any problem since.
Best of luck and let me know if I can help in any way.
Kind regards, Eric
