Remotes & Accessories

[sginjersey]

I've been using the Roku RC35 remote with the Roku 3 base unit for several years without issue.  Within the past week I notice that when using the headphones, the remote is indicating the batteries are drained within a couple of days, even if new batteries are installed.  No such problems if the headphone is not hooked up.  There have been similar posts recently so I'm wondering if this could be a software issue (running the most recent update 9.3.0) rather than a problem with the remote?

Yeah I've heard about this as well.

Just unplug them when not in use.

Has nothing to do with 9.3

Yep. Nothing wrong. Running the audio amplifier in the remote to feed headphones takes a lot of power. Leaving the phones connected means the amp is always on. Batteries will drain quickly, as you've seen.
