JP1 Remotes

So, I finally got a JP1 cable working on my second remote, an RCU810,
I had the remote learn codes from my Symphonic 80GB PVR. The remote was set to a VCR device, and I learned the number buttons to their matching buttons. This is what I got for 2 and 8.
What does this mean?

1) That's not the way to post such info. The screen shots generally aren't needed and the .ir file should be in the diagnosis area and post its URL in your message.

2) Most of those signals look to me like you had weak batteries in the original remote while learning. Batteries can be good enough for a remote to work the original device but not good enough for the signals to be learned.

3) There is an obvious pattern to the OBC numbers in your learned digits, so I think you can just guess the OBC numbers for the ones that learned wrong:

1: 69
2: 70
3: 71
4: Learned wrong
5: 73
6: Learned wrong
7: Learned wrong
8: Learned wrong
9: 77
0: 78

The NEC1 device 135, subdevice 34 part of the decode is correct for all the signals (including the ones too badly learned to show it). All the "gap" decodes should be ignored. All you need for each function is the OBC number.

4) The wording of that error message in IR.exe is unfortunate. It makes it sound as if the developer of IR still wants to get more samples of these problem signals (to improve IR). I don't think anyone needs more samples whether or not anyone intends to improve IR (if any improvement is even appropriate for this aspect of IR). Posting a .ir file in the diagnosis area would be just to get help with the signals (as I provided already in my comments 2 and 3 above).

Posting an entire IR image in the body of a post is not really good form. The instructions in the screen shot you provided say:

Thanks for the feedback. I updated my original post.
I will try changing the batteries. I didn't realize they were weak, because, they worked on the PVR and the learning remote was learning the other signals. I'll try to used the OBC where I need it.

This was my first step in learning signals from the remote. Next I've got to figure out how to load all the signals I need into the remote.

Thanks.
