JP1 Remotes

Just to clarify.

Use the function names as they appear on your original remote to fill in the function sheet. Assign the functions to whatever button makes sense on your JP1 remote.

I didn't pick up on that before. If you're asking what buttons to put the source functions on, I think the shifted number keys are good places, in the same location as they are on your pio remote (BD on shift-1, DVD on shift-2, etc.). Just remember, to use them you have to press shift twice before the number.

Assigning unique functions to dev3 keys and pointing them to keys on the AUX device is where I fade out. I don't really understand how to do that. Below is my stab at it, but it doesn't work.

Below is a capture of IR's Move Key tab. I tried to assign the DVR, DVD & BD functions from the Pioneer (dev3) to AUX. The Add screen asks for the codes in EFC but the spreadsheet gives them in OBC1 & OBC2. I did some kind of attempt to convert them using the Functions tab in KeyMap, but KeyMap gives results in 5 digit and 3 digit EFCs?? Since all this is pretty much Greek to me I have no confidence I did it right -- and the AUX keys 1, 2, & 3 don't work, that is, they don't switch between devices.

Can you post your IR file and the KM or RM upgrade file you're using to calculate the EFCs? You did the keymoves correctly except for the actual EFC values. Those don't look right. I don't know the correct values unless I enter them into your upgrade file.

Having said all that, I think you are going about this the hard way. I would just put the functions you want into your pioneer upgrade then keymove the actual keys instead of having to deal with EFCs.

Here's my IR file http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=9742

Here is the file I used for the receiver. I did not modify it.

Some of the functions you want are impossible with that upgrade. You must use the Pioneer 4DEV protocol. If you change to that protocol, paste in the new device code and the new protocol code, then the following should work in your keymoves. I got the EFCs by picking device 165 and entering the obc1 and 2 values from the excel file linked earlier.

As a novice at this, your message was a mind bender. I thrashed around looking for a place to change the protocol to 4DEV in IR.exe. Finally decided to try in the KeyMap spreadsheet. I made that work and pasted the stuff into IR, then constructed the KeyMoves.

I have no idea how you knew the protocol had to be changed but it's working.

Thanks very much.

I'm happy to upload the changed D608 upgrade, but the only difference is the protocol change. Do you still think I should upload it?

I added the buttons in IR so they are not in the text file

It would be a good learning exercise for you to see if you can find how to set up the buttons in KM and then to add and TEST the rest of the buttons from your remote. If you ask questions we'll be happy to tutor you.

Use the spreadsheet that was linked to above and then find all those input buttons that are on your OEM remote.
