JP1 Remotes

hi all -

this is my very first foray into jp1 territory, so forgive me if i'm doing something stupid -- which is very likely. Smile

i looked in the files > device codes > tv section and didn't see any for my model tv.

i also read somewhere that i may already (somehow) have the info i need ... but i don't know how to determine that.

anyway, any suggestions welcome.

thx,

ted

ps - this looks like fun. my girlfriend is already rolling her eyes...

What model jp1 remote do you have?
Can you learn a few keys from the original remote?
What brand and model TV do you have?

johns - you're becoming my new favorite friend. Wink

1. ofa 8811
2. i'm pretty sure i can ... have been playing with the ir and km instead.
3. mits ws-65313 (65" widescreen)

[edit] i should mention i just found a file for a different model tv, but it has some basic functions, but i'd like to assign it more (like direct access to my dvi connection, etc...)

thx!

The first two questions were a step toward various more advanced methods in case you had an obscure device.

As you seem to have discovered, you don't need an exact model number match for a mits TV. Most of the commands are the same from one model to the next.

I'm sure there has been plenty of discussion of discrete input commands for mits TV's in the RC discrete forum
http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboard/rc-discrete/list.cgi
So you might try a search of that forum. If you find command numbers there, they will be what we call OBC numbers. If you find Pronto Hex there, use IRTool.exe to get the OBC or EFC.

You might even find mits TV input discretes in this forum. I don't remember whether those have been discussed here.

You might also look in this thread particularly on the second page. It has a listing of many Mitsubishi commands and some specifics on problems encountered on some Mitsubishi RPTV's with the built in protocol using the NET commands. The OBC's and EFC's are correct for either version of the IR protocol. There also is a link to a device upgrade.

thx guys. i did read the beginner's jp1 guide (it's how i figured out how to use the km and ir -- very well written).

but, i don't think i'm getting the steps down when i'm given the obc and efc codes. for example, on the thread you listed, someone gave the dtv input as "121 009 DTV Input" (obc efc function).

i guess i'm not clear on how to use that info on the km. i added the function and values on the FUNCTIONS tab, then mapped it to a key (m1) on the BUTTONS tab.

i'm guessing i need to make some additional changes on the SETUP tab, but i'm not sure what. here's what i have.

remote = urc-881x
device type = tv
setup codes = 0000
button codes = 0000
protocol name = mitsubishi
device code = blank

i assume once i get all this info right on the km, then i simply add it to a new DEVICE in the ir application?

if anyone has a link to step-by-step info on this, i'd appreciate it. i've been pretty much through all the jp1 docs on hifi-remote.com, but i wouldn't say i've read them "word-for-word". Wink

thx!
