1.4v is not considered low, but the voltage is not the only consideration. It's ability to PROVIDE that V under load, ie: it's current delivery is something else.

The LEDs on a remote pull very little current, and depending on how many there are in the remote, maybe 100 - 150ma.

However, you cant test this with your meter. I mean, you could but it would essentially be a dead short and significantly drain those batteries. So don't do that. AAA batteries have very little umph.

The real test is as stated, does the remote work at a reasonable distance, or at all.
