JP1 Remotes

Spotted this deal and ordered a couple for myself. The EZRC setup website no longer works but you can use RM to tweak things.

Thanks Mike. All your JP1 hard work is really apretiated in our house!

You'll be pleased to hear that once again our remotes are set up and working perfectly.

I agree they're the same... OK, done a bit of investigation. I was using the file Sky_Digibox_fullyworking_KM.txt as the basis for creating a Sky+ upgrade. If you load this into KM 8.44 and manually set the protocol you get:


Upgrade Code 0 = 07 37 (SAT/1847) Sky Digibox (KM v8.44)
20 00 BA 7E 08 ...

I don't come here very often, (the last time was two years ago), but when I do I always find a solution to my problem very quickly. I've been a JP1er since the Yahoo Groups days, and the hard work of people on this forum have made my AV life great! I first used the name 'remoteneeded' on this forum ...

UPDATE: Using either the manual or RC6-M-20n protocol in KM 9.14 produces an upgrade that doesn't work with 8550. Using KM 8.44 and manually entering the same fixed data and it all works fine. A bug in KM?

All sorted! Fixed data of EC 00 does it. Frustratingly this is the data that KM came up with by selecting the RC6-M-20n protocol, but for some reason it didn't work when I tried it, (it works now!). All's well that ends well.

Thanks

OK I can now see why it's not working, I just can't work out how to fix it.

Within KM, when I load the Sky (not plus) upgrade, the Protocol Name goes to Manual, and the Device and Sub Device boxes disapear to be replaced with Device1, 2 & 3. I've tried various numbers in these boxes, but I can't ...

Tried it with sub device 12, still no joy. I'm going to go back to first principles, dig out my old Sky box and see whether or not I can control it. Now I've thought about it I got the Sky device upgrade from the One for All site, way back when, so it may be that the KM version I have is no good. I ...

This post may be too late for you, but I'll post this information to help others.

I agree that's it's probably a faulty electrolytic capacitor in the power supply. Here's two ways of finding the dead capacitor:

1/ The easiest way is to use an ESR meter. The great thing is that you can test the ...

Thanks for all your help as remote now works as I want it to. Following your advice, this is what I did:

One copy of the Sony20 protocol.
Most buttons covered with an upgrade that is Device Restricted.
Extra button covered with a Keymove that points to an upgrade that has every numerical button set ...

Thanks Capn Trips

I was just about to reply saying how you're wrong about the Sony20 protocol being in there twice as I knew I only needed it once, when I double checked, and it turns out you are correct! It must have crept in there when I was experimenting last night - a straight mistake on my ...

I'd forgotten that I'd tweaked the RDF a while ago to avoid these problems - I'll upload my version tonight.

I've tried making the second, (single button), upgrade device specific, but it doesn't work. The correct OBC/EFC is now outputted, but with the wrong device code.

I like your idea of ...

Thanks Rob

I have done what you've detailed above, but it still doesn't work. I've done some further experiments and there's certainly something stange going on.

Most buttons device = 1533 - 26/73
Extra button device = 1534 - 26/98

With 1534, if I set device button restriction to <All Devices> I ...

I'm nearly there with getting my Topline 8 to drive my Sony DVP-NS30 DVD player. Just one button does not work. The good news is I know why.

All buttons, bar one:
Main Device 26, Sub Device 73

This one button:
Main Device 26, Sub Device 98

Sony20 protocol

I've tried adding a separate device ...
