|
|
Are the 15-1994 & 15-1995 the only two RS (JP1) remotes with their own internal timer for devices without a sleep function of their own?
See I've been desperately looking for a 1994 thinking it's the only RS Jp1 remote with a built in timer for devices w/o a sleep function.
Methinks I may have screwed up. |

Most JP1 remotes have the sleep timer function, a UEI "feature". If the current device doesn't support a native SLEEP function, then the built-in timer is used. Both my 15-2104 and URC-8810w have it. _________________ Mark |

I don't know if that's true of the more recent remotes, I thought the SLEEP button was just a regular button on remotes like the 8811, 8910, etc. _________________ Rob

Is it a Euro thing? My 7652, 8040 (Euro Kameleon 4), 7552 and 8550 (Topline 8) have the built-in sleeptimer but not my 8910. I see that the 8810 doesn't either. I think the 7552 also has an alarm-clock facility. |

Dunno, the old UEI remotes had the feature (like the 15-1994, URC-7800, etc) but the new ones don't. Maybe they decided that most devices have a built-in SLEEP feature now so there's no need to put it in the remotes.
Furthermore, when the remote does have this feature, it means that you can't program a keymove or learning to the SLEEP button. _________________ Rob

Must admit it did seem a bit of a chore having to leave the remote pointed in the right direction. So they replaced its function, maybe, in the 8910 with the really useful "com skip" facility? |

Ain't that the truth! For all the good stuff that UEI packs into their remotes, they always manage to squeeze in a couple of "what were they thinking?" features too! _________________ Rob
