JP1 Remotes

If you look back at what Capn Trips said 3 posts ago he basically explains it. If you are using an extender "HT" mode doesn't really exist like it does in the unextended mode. You can use ANY button to assign which keys are assigned to which device with an extender so you could assign the "HT" key ...

I am still having trouble with this.

I have tried using the device combiner protocol and added lots of delay to the commands for the the amp. This does not fix the problem.

The problem is that intermittently the remote stops working with my amp using either the built in 1313 or various custom ...

I lied. It just stopped working tonight with the new device combiner protocol. I have added a delay of 2 to all commands and will give it a week or so to see how it reacts and update then.

Update 2: FYI: Everything is still working fine with the new device code using the device combiner. I did NOT ...

Update 2: FYI: Everything is still working fine with the new device code using the device combiner. I did NOT have to add any delay to any of the commands. I don't know why it didn't work with the NEC Combo protocol, but does work with the device combiner. There is either something wrong with the ...

Update: I made a new code that's basically the same as the 1313 code using the device combiner. Initially I've left the delays at default=0. I didn't have a chance to install it until late last night, but everything seemed to be working ok in the short time I used it. If I develop problems I will ...

First, thanks again.

Second, I've read the directions for the device combiner and *think* I understand how to program it, BUT my current amp upgrade code is a 2-byte one based on the NEC1 Combo protocol. So, as I undestand it, what I have to do in the device combiner table in order to use 1-byte ...

The commands are both in macros and not, so I don't think pauses in the macro are the culprit. For example, the volume control won't work even when I hold the button down continually. <-- kind of important for using the amp. I have not tried the device combiner. I assume there is some documentation ...

I have a URC-8811.

I have tried the remoted un-extended, with Extender 3.1 first, and also with Extender 2.4.

There doesn't seem to be any problem with the remote working when un-extended, but then I can't do all the fun stuff I can do with an extender installed. :cry:

With either Extender 3.1 ...

Hey my 8810w has this problem too, could you post a fixed extender w/ nop's?

I am also interested in an update/fix.

I had another slightly different error with Extender 3.1 on a URC-8811.

Sometimes when I upload my new program to the remote, the 4 digit device code for RCVR becomes corrupted (i ...

Then it's simply a matter of creating a Device-specific macro for the "power" button in "Aux" device mode to turn on all of the components you desire. And voila!

Right. Like I said, I think I need DSMs to do this. I think I figured out most of the basic extender stuff like macros and x_commands ...

So, thanks again to everyone for the responses. It seems that even with an extender I can't do what I wanted to do exactly. Because "HT" is still not a device it doesn't have a seperate power button so I can't put a macro on the "power" key in home theater mode. Perhaps with DSMs I might be able to ...

I know I read this somewhere, but I can't find it right now. How do I find/request EFCs for a specific device code?

I'm looking for EFCs for a Kendwood CD player that responds to device code 0190. I found some of them in Devices4.xls, but not all of them. I looked at Rob's collection and can't ...

Thanks. Is there a help file on DSMs? Where can I find more information about this? Thanks. I know of two ways to do this. Probably the best way is to use the 8811 extender . Click the link, download the file, and read the readme.txt that John S Fine did such a nice job putting together. The other ...

Thanks. Is there a help file on DSMs? Where can I find more information about this? Thanks.

Tau,
Have you tried creating a macro using the macro tab of IR and then uploading it to your remote? It works for me. What did you do and what happened?

yes, I've made macro's using IR and uploaded them and they work. For example I made a macro that turns on the TV, Tuner, and Cable box and ...
