Posted: Sat Sep 12, 2015 10:36 pm Post subject: Cox URC-8820-MOTO Macro Help |
|
|
I have a Cox 8820-Moto remote with a macro which was programmed by the technician during the install. He programmed the CC button to turn on/off my receiver, cable box and TV. I have looked all over and can't figure out how he did it or how to program a macro on this remote. I need to modify the macro so it does not power on my receiver. Does anyone know how to modify or reprogram the macro? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |

Do you have a JP1 cable, or are you just looking to do this programming on the remote itself? _________________ Rob

I would like to do it through the remote itself. The Tech programmed the macro through the remote. |

ok, so I will move this to the Non-JP1 forum then, just so folks understand the question. _________________ Rob

Thanks. Definitely an oversight on my part. |

Have you tried the 995 command? That's the normal way to make a macro manually. |

The 9-9-5 command doesn't appear to work. I have also read it didn't work for others. I am definitely curious how the tech did it. He actually did it for all the remotes in my house. |

Pretty sure it only does a master power macro. You can configure which devices are included per the printed instructions. I don't remember the steps off the top of my head. I do remember there is a weird way to program it since there is no setup button. I think it's Mute-Select or something like that. The 8820 is a really awful remote. |

You are correct, the 8820-MOTO uses Mute+Select as the "Setup" button. The Master Power (Press and hold the power button) goes through all 4 devices (TV, Cable, DVD and AUX). The CC button he programmed only powers the TV, Cable and AUX devices as I requested. My other TVs don't have a receiver controlling the audio so they only power the TV and Cable devices. |

I have no idea then. Whatever he did is apparently not documented. It's probably some 99x, 98x or 97x code, but I have no idea what. You could try them all I guess. Just be aware that some of those codes will wipe your remote. |

Did he only program the remote by hand, he didn't connect it any sort of device? _________________ Rob
