JP1 Remotes

It sounds like you just need to turn off Cable lock on the General tab. That's why some of your buttons won't work. Post the RM and IR files you're using with the RCA if that doesn't do it.

That was the case. I didn't see anything about cable lock in the general tab. Howver, I was able to remove ...

I got my JP1.x USB cable from Tommy Tyler. So now, unless otherwise noted, I'm talking about the RCA RCRP05B.

In RM on the Buttons or Layout tabs, you'll see all the button assignments for the missing functions.

Ok, that's actually pretty straightforward if I actually take the time to look at it ...

If there's anything in the upgrade that doesn't work as advertised, could you please let us know. And, if there are any buttons on the original HK remote that are not included, could you please let us know that also.

No problem, although I might need a little hand-holding. This was literally my ...

Works for me! At least, I can do all the things I want to do, which is turn the unit on, change volume, and change inputs.

Thank you very much!

In general, has anyone ever tried contacting the (device) manufacturer for remote codes? Ideally, this should be a simple request if one can get in contact with the right person at a company. I might try seeing if Harman/Kardon can give me any useful information. (Although, I'm a bit cynical about ...

Yup, my wife's laptop has a parallel port, and also happens to be the only computer in our house with Windows on it (the rest all run Linux).

The rattling you hear is likely the modem pickup coil and is bad news if you were hoping to do a wav upgrade. If you're handy with a soldering iron, you could probably reconnect and reattach the modem coil, but the JP1 interface is a better way to go all around.

It's a good thing you got a cable ...

Well, I think the best course is to get a JP1 cable, learn the codes, and use IR.exe to decode the learns so that you know the IR protocol, device and function numbers.

The 8910 is a old remote which employs a computer interface that we call JP1. I recommend Tommy Tyler as the vendor of interface ...

I'm sad to say none of those work.

BTW, 0582 was "not found" under Video on my remote, but I kept trying different categories. DVD 0582 got "success", but still did not operate the HK-3490 (neither the power button worked nor Setup+229/249).

Sorry, I should have mentioned in my original post, I've already tried Audio Receiver code 0110 (it's actually listed in the manual for the URC-8910). I also tried Audio Amplifier code 0892 with no luck. Volume doesn't work with either of these codes.

1. Device: Harman/Kardon HK-3490

7. Checked the file section? Yes
8. Checked Pronto file ...
