RMIR and URC-8206 wrong button layout?

Atlantis · Post by **Atlantis** » Mon Aug 19, 2019 3:15 am

I have two URC-8206. On the first i have done settings with code and with ir learning. With RMIR i can make a copy from the first URC-8206 to the second with no problem. All keys have the correct function.
Then i made from a device upgrade with learned signals a new VCR device. I cleared the second URC-8206 and loaded the new device. Now some buttons were not on the correct place. When i press the fast forward button i got the play function. On the play button there ist now the function fast forward. On the record button is the fast rewind function an so on. But some button have the correct function like the numbers keys.
In the Device Upgrade Editor there are all buttons correct assigned.
Then i cleared the second URC-8206 again and set only the general setup code 0000 for the CD. There is the same mistake about the button layout as mentioned above.

Have you tried doing a 981 style reset on the remote and then re-programming?

Before my first posting i have done the 980 reset as described in my manual. The 981 i don't know. There is nothing in the manual of the URC-8206 about. So i tried it out yet. The behavior is the same.
But now i came to a resolution. If i load new programming from RMIR to the fresh reseted URC-8206 it don't work. But if i reset the URC-8206 and make first a download with RMIR i can edit this file and its working correctly.

The 980 style reset only deletes user programming, the 981 reset is supposed to restore everything. The instructions vary by remote, most are listed here:

However, if you have found that your old RMIR file causes the problem, and your new one doesn't, could you zip both files together and load them up here for us to look at please.

Please load to the Diagnosis Area then post a link to the file here.

I have uploaded the two Files in one ZIP archive at the Diagnosis Area:

I only made the test with the CD device.

Looks like the "wrong" version was created as a new image in RMIR, not from a copy of a different remote like you said. You should never do that. Always start with a downloaded image. Further analysis would be a waste of time.
