How to prevent the DVD player remote to stop interfering with TV?

I bought a dvd player and connected it to a TV. The player is placed just a shelf below the TV in a cabinet. The problem is when I use the DVD player's remote, it causes some function to execute in the TV. Say I press the fwd button on the DVD remote it causes the TV to shut power off.

How can this problem be resolved of interfering remote control?

Answer:
I would suggest buying a good Universal Remote, and program it to run both devices. That way, you can press a button to designate which device you wish to operate. If you need code numbers for your TV or DVD, post the question on this forum and some kind person will try to help. Hope this was helpful. P.S. Make sure we know the make of TV & DVD.
It's using the same frequency thus the interference, Use a Universal remote that's the way to go and you don't have 5 remotes lying around..
When using the DVD player, put a piece of paper or black tape in front of the TV's IR receiver, so the TV can't get the IR commands.
Apparently the command signal for the DVD player is similar to the command signals for the TV. Thus the TV thinks the signals for the DVD player are for it and acts on them. The only way to stop this from happening is to block the signal from reaching the TV or moving the TV and DVD player away from each other.
