JP1 Remotes

[jwkxneud]

I noted that remotecentral has a file for my onkyo TX8211. So I ran it through the decoder. Here's the relevant bit. What's up with the protocol switching between NEC1 and NEC2? I don't know the difference between the two, but this output looks very odd to me. Could this be some error in the ccf decoding, or the learning? Do you think the OEM remote actually uses two protocols?

They use NEC2 for keys, such as vol and arrows, that should repeat while held and NEC1 for keys that shouldn't.

The only difference between NEC1 and NEC2 is the way the key repeats while held. Maybe the device simply understands NEC2 style repeat while held for all keys. Then the remote must disable the repeat while held for most keys by not using NEC2.

I know that if you use NEC1 for VOL etc., the key will fail to repeat while held. I assume that if you use NEC2 for POWER etc., the key will repeat when it shouldn't.

You can use the "NEC 2DEV Combo" protocol in KM to handle this.
