JP1 Remotes

I have checked the spreadsheet for the RCA RCR815, but just to doublecheck (since I saw some for sale) does the RCR815 have any JP1 support yet? Does it even have holes for the cable?

It looks IR6.00 is taking radical advantage of macro memory
I'm confused by this statement since the space available for key moves and macros is based on the remote itself (and the corresponding RDF) and has nothing to do with IR. That amount of space should be the same in every version of IR ...

BUT, the last keycode in the pending buffer (at any time) regains the association to the original key which started the macro, so its decision are based on whether that key is still pressed.
After my first readthrough I thought I understood what you meant by this... soo :oops: what is a last ...

Actually I do set the keys for the devices prior to the DLKP. They are all 7 or 8 entry macros. I have experimented both ways.

Thanks for the input.

First of all, Thanks (to Rob i think) for the enhancements in IR5.15. i especially like the protocol builder and notes fields.

I have been using my JP1 connector for a year now and have enjoyed learning how to extend the urc8911 with dLKP & TOADTOG and even made friends with the device combiner ...

When I am close (within 6 feet) from my HT, some components are finicky and don't always accept all of the macros commands.

Short of tin-foiling the whole room, does anyone know a simple method to help to widen the line of sight of a components IR receiver?

I want to use the backlight as confirmation of an action. (Make it flash...) I have been unable to trigger the backlight by calling the light button from a macro. Is there a way to trigger the backlight without actually pushing the button?

Re: Ext 8910x1

I have placed Toads (toggle only) on each of my xs-device keys. I am using them in combination with the xs-button(go figure) and within LKPs to synchronize the power on/off.

To conserve memory, i.e. Within a macro or keymove, is there a command that works like xs-current-device so ...

The mac-crows and their shifting nests had me all twisted around. I have keymoved the LKP to my shift-device keys included the shift-device key in the device macro and that may be a direct quote from the "Text".

All is well. the next treat is TOADTOG.

I am attempting to have my channel switching done only by the VCR while retaining the Sleep, Info, and TV/Video functions on the TV set.

Are you using all 8 device modes, or do you have a spare one?

If you have a spare device mode, you assign that device mode the setup code of the VCR and into ...

I just read another posting where LKP was used to atain a compromise. http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=460&highlight=lkp+device

I however just posted my own LKP inquiry. This means that Im :? about LKP right now. Ive used the keymove option for now and I'm calling it a night...

8911 with the 8910 extender is working out great so far witha prod or two, however...

For test purposes I have been able to make a functioning LKP on my Info key however during the short command the LED on the remote flashes twice. Is this normal? It also correctly performs the long command for the ...

I am attempting to have my channel switching done only by the VCR while retaining the Sleep, Info, and TV/Video functions on the TV set.

I believe that the mega way to do it is to keymove the VCRs ch+/- as well as numerals onto the TV. Thats at least 12 keymoves, but I could leave out the SET_CHAN ...

I had to take a step back since I am experimenting with the extender on ths remote. Can I still use KMs unextended remote and still upgrade an extended file on IR? I guess this is how its been done for some time.
