JP1 Remotes

I tried to manually reassign the cable button too and failed. In rmir I can change the assignment for it, but didn't upload it and test it. My serial port is hooked to a UPS so it's a little of a hassle to hook up my jp1.x cable. If someone else doesn't jump in with a verification, I'll give it a shot.

I can confirm that the RCRP05B can be programmed by JP1 cable so that the CBL device button is reassigned to some other device.

Specifically, I assigned AUD to the CBL button, used setup code 1289, and learned the signal it sent. It sent Audio 1289.

I set VPT for the AUD button to TV, and the CBL button to CBL. After pressing the CBL button and then Vol, the remote sent Audio 1289 Volume signals.

So I think that device button reassignment works fine if programmed by JP1 cable.

My cable arrived yesterday. I can also confirm that the CBL/SAT device button can be reprogrammed to another device using IR.exe. It's operating my VCR like a charm now. Just make sure to unlock the channel control...

I'm a JP1 newbie, so I'm still playing around with programming my remote. All of my equipment except for an Insignia Blu-Ray player is already in the remote, and I've found the advanced codes to program that thanks to mdavej's work in the Insignia forums. After I get the basic work done, I'll be moving on to macros, etc.

I've used that file with a couple of different remotes now and can confirm it's correct. Open the file you originally downloaded in RM using the new RDF/Map, pick your remote model from the Remote drop-down, and verify all the functions are mapped to the right buttons, then paste it back into IR.

If you're new to RM, you may not realize you can just drag and drop the functions onto buttons on the Buttons and Layout tabs, or R-click a button and get a pick list of functions. But most of them should get mapped automatically.

mdavej,

I'm fairly certain my issues last night were an ID-10T error on my end. Very Happy

I am still new to this whole game and learning as much as I can. Hopefully I can contribute something useful to this forum eventually!
