New Sony Blu-ray BDP-S470

1. Device: Sony BDP-S470
2. Type of device: Blu-Ray player
3. Year: 2010
4. JP1/UEI Remote model: RCU810
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? Yes
6. Still have original remote? Yes
7. Checked the file section? Yes
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? Yes
9. Partially working setup code? 1226
10. Learning remote question? yes

I'm using a device upgrade that I downloaded from this site, and all the regular buttons work, but included discrete on and off don't. I really only need discrete off, since just about any button will turn it on. Anyone have any ideas? Did Sony just decide to remove discrete functionality from these new models?

I think its just as likely that there is some user error going on. If you upload your IR file in the diagnosis area, and post a link to that file here, and also post a link to the BluRay upgrade that you used, it would be a lot easier to help you.

Is that a shot at my technical ability?

Just kidding-- thanks for the reply. I have been using JP1 utilities for several years, but I do admit that it's pretty complicated and easy to make mistakes, and that's why I'm asking for help!

Here's the upgrade I used:

In my IR file, I've got the discrete on bound to shift+channel up, and discrete off bound to shift+channel down for testing.

Thanks!

The Device TYPE in your keymoves is incorrect. Your Blu-Ray upgrade is DVD/1226, but your keymoves call on CBL/1226. I would imageine that none of those keymoves (#6 and 12-18) work correctly. Nor can I figure out what Keymoves 3, 4 and 5 are for, but that's beside the point of this discussion.

Capn Trips, you are right, on both counts.

Keymoves 3,4, and 5 are from my old DVD player. They aren't used anymore, I just didn't clean that up.

And, of course, it had to be a stupid mistake on my part. I didn't try any of those other moved keys since I've yet to have anything use those color buttons. It's working perfectly now! Thank you very much!

Also, many thanks to vickyg2003 for coaching me on the right way to ask this question. (and pointing out that it was likely user error, which it was)

Sorry I didn't get back to you, As soon as I opened the IR, I saw the problem, and then couldn't get pack on to the forum. Frustrating!

I didn't mean to be insulting, I just know first hand that procedural errors are so easy to make. I've done it a million times myself.

Its usually something really simple as it was in this case.

Yeah, it looks like the site was having DB issues this weekend.

No worries, I wasn't insulted.

I don't know exactly what I did to make that mistake, but I was using Remotemaster to move the buttons around. My remote didn't have buttons that those had been assigned to on the original uploader's remote and that's how they showed up when I pasted them into IR after my modifications. My guess is that I inadvertently changed the code in Remotemaster or something. It's strange though, since I had to do almost the exact same steps for my projector remote and my HD-DVD remote and I don't remember having any problems with those.

Oh well, I guess I learned a little in the process.

Thanks again!
