T-shooting MP3/CD player and TV/DVD player with similar problems

I have a portable cd/mp3 player that started acting erratically, before
it appeared to stop working. It would fast forward, or stop for no
apparent reason, almost as though someone were controlling it remotely.
Now I only get the message, **No disc,** though I've cleaned the lens,
and tried various CD's. This CD/mp3 player does not have a remote
control.

I also have a TV/DVD player, that has started to act like the portable
CD/mp3 player. Though the display shows "Reading;" before stopping, or
shutting off. When it fast forwards, stops, or shuts-off, the display
does not change - - as I see when I use the remote. This one has a
remote, though it appears to be infrared, which I (think is directional,
nor goes through walls.) These occurraces have occurred when unit
faces various directions, and in various rooms.

I don't think the house nor appliances are haunted. Is there a way
that some type of remote was installed? Does anyone know of a radio
frequency (rf) that will travel a distance (possibly 1/4 mile) go
through walls, and mimic an infrared remote? If there is some type of
remote added to it where should I look AND what should I look for?

Jwin.com the mfg, does not show a software update for this TV/DVD
player.

What can I test check, to find or better solve the problem?

Thank-you in advance,
Jon Q.
