JP1 Remotes

[paulkent]

This is my first attempt at setting up a useful configuration on the 2133 Kameleon.

The devices in my basement are:

Yamaha LPX500 projector
Yahama RX-V1400 av receiver
Denon 910 DVD
Samsung SIR-TS160 Directv HD receiver

I've uploaded a zip-file with the device upgrade files for these 4; plus the IR image on the remote currently. The two yamaha ones are "original" in that i had to make them up from trial and error (and the datasheets at yamaha.com); i know they are incomplete, but i'd appreciate y'alls comments to see if i'm heading in the right direction.

{the file is 2133 Paul Basement 1.zip in the jp1/files/Diagnosis Area}

I can't find the code for discreteOFF on the DVD. the datasheet on denon website stops at a dvd-900, so this button is the only one that remains "learned" in my config

I'd like to dabble with the "shift" idea; is the P button on the 2133 the shift button? for example, i've had to bind discreteOFF to "exit" on many of my devices since i haven't discovered a better way yet. shift-power is what i'd like to go with - does that make sense?

the RXv1400 seems to use two protocols. i've included the ST_ and EX_ datasheets on the IR codes from the yamaha website. trial and error indicates that these are OBC codes. i'd like to include some of the EX_ (7E E1 and friends) codes for the sound-program - is the easiest thing to map these to another device (VCR?) and then keymove them so they "work" from the audio screen or is there a better way to do this?

the only macros i've done so far are

M1: power-up - we usually watch the TV, so it selects that (and doesn't turn on the DVD at all)
M4: power-down. turns em all off




my next projects are to make the device buttons "macros", so that for example DVD will power up the DVD, but also switch the rcvr-input to play the DVD

DVD;power;AUD;input-dvd;DVD


i'd love to hear from others about the kinds of changes they have made to their setups

anyways, many thanks to all the folks who shared their knowledge of these gadgets. i've made so much more progress that i could have at 1-800-RadioShack. The four original remotes are stashed in a draw for the first time ever, which isn't bad - the 2133 was a xmas gift



cheers,

Do you need the ability to "press" the discrete off buttons or will you only be using them in macros? If it's the latter, you should program the functions to phantom buttons, there's no need to use up a real button with these codes.

If you were able to learn your DVD's discrete off (which I assume means there is a button for it on the DVD's remote) you can get the EFC by looking at IR's Learned Signals tab.
