Thanks for the help 3FG. The file works now. The only way I could get it to load before was to edit out the macros used for power off and power on that controls everything at once. I've since replaced the 47 power on with hex 1 that can toggle power on and of specific to the DVR.
I'm glad the image ...

I finally received my JP1 FTDI cable and have uploaded some files to restore a newer Channel Master CM-7500XRC2 from RMIR if anyone needs to. I had to save the file as a .ir as the .rmir would error on open. I included both versions to compare. Also included is a revised rdf file and map files for ...

I used 3FG's 255504 rdf as a guide to play with see if it would display. It seemed to work OK. The power on and off show down in the phantom area in RM ...

Thanks Tranx.
Actually it's not an input selection issue. I was referring to addressing the units so that one remote won't affect both DVR+s at once. All of these units come with the remote address set to 001 by default. The remotes that now ship with the units don't let you change it as before with ...

Some Success

Using a JP1.x RCA RCRP05BR learning remote, I was able to capture the remote address change commands from the old original DVR+ SMK remote.
I discovered that on the old remote, pressing the "page up and "page down" buttons simultaneously is just to ready the remote itself to accept a device address ...

I have ordered a new RCA RCRP05BR remote. I wanted to stay with theJP.x interface so I can use the same FTDI cable I have ordered from ebay. The cable should work with the two Channel Master upgrade remotes I have.
I see that the RDF files exist for the RCA remote. Got the remote at Amazon Prime for ...

I figure cheap is under $20 but what ever is a reliable remote compatible with an RDF already that exists here. I am interested in learning and experimenting with this technology as a worthwhile venture. So anything that would would make it the most straightforward approach to learning. I'm new and ...

I have ordered an FTDI cable from Ebay and still looking for a cheap JP1.x learning remote.
In the meantime, I have experimented with the old OEM Channel Master remote to develop an idea on how the device address change works. The original remote was manufactured by SMK dated 2013.
When ...

Thanks Robman!

I'll gladly listen to your expert advise.
This is going to be interesting. I was not sure of the JP1.x version. The newer remotes pcbs are design dated 2012. I will reference the pin out also. At least pin 1 is marked on the remote. I do have an identical new remote that comes only ...

Channel Master DVR+ New Remotes

Hi All,

Newbie here.
I bought a replacement DVR+ remote along with a second DVR+ unit that also came with a new remote. I was dissapointed to find that the new remotes do not support the address change function needed when you have two DVR+ units you want to control independently in the same room ...
