JP1 Remotes

I have an RCA RV-9900 receiver with surround sound, device code of 1254. I just bought an RCA TV 32V550TYX1, device code 0047. When I power off or on the receiver power, it toggles the TV power. I am using the RS 15-2117 remote. Is there any way to preent the tv from turning off when I turn on surround sound?

Thanks

Does it do this when you use the original RCA remotes?

Btw, those are "setup codes", not "device codes"

Yes, the same problem happens with the original RCA tv remote.

I need to be more specific.

The tv turns off when I press the power key for the receiver on the 2117. I do not have the original receiver remote..

It takes 2 power key presses to to off the receiver.

The receiver turns off if I press power on the tv remote twice.

To turn on the tv, I need to use the original remote, or use tv on the 2117.

The major problem is the tv turning off when I power on surround sound.

Sory for being unclear in defining the problem

It sounds like this is a peculiarity of the way these two devices have been programmed to look for IR signals, which makes me doubt that there's much we can do about it here.

My best advice would be to get in touch with RCA and see what their advice is. Maybe they will let you know of a way you can fix it, and if it means using different codes, then we might be able to help.

The above is still unclear to me.

I believe the power key in Tuner/1254 is RCA device 12, command 59.

I think you're saying that when the TV is on, one press of RCA:12:59 turns it off. What does that key do when the TV is off?

I think you're saying that when the receiver is on, two presses RCA:12:59 turn it off. What about when it was off?

I believe the power key in TV/0047 is RCA device 15, command 42,

I think you're saying that when the TV is off, one press of RCA:15:42 will turn it on. I assume it is a toggle, so when the TV is on, one press of RCA:15:42 turns it off.

I think you're saying that when the receiver is on, two presses of RCA:15:42 (just like two presses of RCA:12:59) will turn it off. What about when it was off?

What about the receivers input select commands? In many devices, input select commands also act as discrete on commands. The digits in tuner/1254 should be input select commands. Do they work as such? Do they also turn the receiver on?

The '8' key in tuner/1254 should be a discrete on command for your TV as well as being an input select for your receiver. What does that key do?

Thanks for the responses. Since I bought the TV from Circuit City 2 days ago, I decided to exchange it for a Panasonic unit, which will be delivered on Friday.

Thanks again for the responses.

John,

I also have a RCA Receiver. It requires a double key press of power to turn off and a single to turn on. It is messing me up in my extender macros. I have keymoves setup for discrete on and off (Hex 70 3b = off, 70 3a = on). Is this wrong? Should I be using the codes u listed above? (12:59) I also uploaded my ir file here if someone wants to take a look.

Thanks

I don't have any direct knowledge of how various RCA devices respond to various signals. I only know what is posted in CCF files and forums such as this one.

IIUC, your KeyMoves for Off and On using device 7 commands 59 and 58, work. If so then I would expect your device primarily uses device 7. My earlier comments were based on a setup code that primarily used device 12. I assume that setup code would not be a very good fit for your device.

When you say a double press of "power" to turn it off, so you mean the regular power toggle command? Or do you mean the discrete Off command that you KeyMoved?

I'm not clear on what type of help you want, but even if I was clear on that, I'd probably only be able to suggest experimentation to find what works for your device.
