Remote control seems to have a life of its own, flashing continuously by itself without any human interaction, sending sporadic commands to equipment, disrupting their proper functioning. Changed batteries, same problem.
Some buttons on it have been shorted internally. Open the remote control and clean it. If you wish to get more details about how to clean a remote control, check this site. I've seen a post there related to this. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/. An older post indeed. Search for it.
