RMDU File Onkyo TX file; Lookup Tool not working...?

Post by phb1342 »

Yes, I'm old & rusty, but:

1.) The Onkyo TX8050 RMDU file won't open for me. Tried different versions of RM and different computers; other RMDU files, both mine and from jp file sections, work/open fine.

b.) The Lookup Tool also doesn't seem to work for me: the info page opens but no tool? (also different computers/win versions/ etc. = same)

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Same results here.

Lookup tool appears to be broken.

Onkyo file crashes RM.

But I fixed it. So download from the link above and try again.

Notes entries had lots of backslashes that I removed. That seemed to do the trick.

Yes!
Thank you.
When I looked at the file in Notepad, side by side with another Onkyo file I noticed the slashes, but didn't know enough to know that that's what was wrong.

As usual, Thanks very much. I have an easier start to make a file for my TX-8160 now.

Oh Great! Normally this happens after a mainenance notice, but I haven't received one in over a year.

Anybody have any idea how long its been down?
