Upgrade the Philips DCC380 with a IR Sensor, so it works like a DCC300

Update;
You also need to add a 100R to 3464 and remove Resistor 3463 from the front board and 3161 from the main board to successfully connect the IR Sensor.

We receive many questions on why the remote is not working when a Philips Digital Compact Cassette DCC380 is used as a stand-alone player vs. in the original set.

In this video we explain why this is happening and how you can upgrade your DCC380 with the IR sensor, so it works like a regular DCC300.

Here is a video on how to do this.
