Electronics - Discuss Home Appliance and solutions

mshafiq

We would like to discuss electronics stuff here.

For example, DVDs, Remote Control switches etc. An hardware and electronics forum is there under Computer but it computer based.
Here will not indulge computer in it until or unless it is required as an associated item.

Would it be possible to make a DVD player to switch home appliances (bulbs) ?

using its Remote control.
As I have a bad DVD player (disk can not be read) and I would like to transform it to control my devices with some alteration.

The issue I do not have too much time and would like to know if someone already know which points/wires may help us to use. [Connecting relays to control 110v devices (fan, bulb, TV, coffee maker)].

-- Thanks in advance!

It is too costly to control just one device you pay $45. If we use only play stop forward reverse, we would have controlled 4 devices.
