|
|
How does the Comcast Remote (red button) "All On" button work? It turns on all the devices. I want one device to not turn on.
Seems like I have to reprogram the Power button for the device. Can I change the All On button? A Macro does not seem to work for that button. _________________ Werner |

Can't change that one. But you can use shift-AllOn or any other button instead. |

I assume that All On uses the power button for the device. So if I change the 'power' button for the device to 'something else', the All On button then will execute 'something else'.
Is there such a EFC as NOP (no operation)? _________________ Werner |

It's worth a shot. I've tried that in the past and it didn't work for me. Don't know why exactly. The closest thing to a NOP would just be an unused EFC. Just test to make sure it doesn't do anything bad. |

Sounds like you won't be able to turn the device on at all from the remote if you do that, unless you create another power button.... |

yes, I'll make another power button. I am using an upgrade device so I'll make the changes there.
I don't use the DVD all that much and I don't want it turned on every time the TV and Cable turns on _________________ Werner |

The all-on is a predefined, hard coded Macro that does: ( order may not be right)
CBL-power-TV-power-AUX-power-dev3-power
This cannot be changed without an extender. But you could change the function connected to power and that will change the behavior _________________ this JP1 stuff is a sickness! |
