JP1 Remotes

I have both of those remotes. I was able to program the B04 with most of what I needed and though to replicate the config on the 4M remote. Now, I didn't know the difference until after I ran into a problem, but needless to say, the B04 config did not run as expected on the 4M.

The macros do not run at all, it seems that it doesn't like them. Some of the settings such as VPT and channel change lock to cable behave eratically. I did a 981 reset and dowloaded a fresh config file in IR, depending on the RDF that I select, there is quite a bit of difference.

Here goes my question: If using RM, I work on an upgrade and choose one RDF (B04) for the remote, then change the RDF for the other remote (4M), is there a possiblity that RM would cache the previous RDF and hence result in a corrupted config?

After a lot of trial and error, that is the only conclusion that I can come to as a possible explanation for some of the symptoms that I notice.

Thanks.

RM will not reload an RDF. So, if you modify andRDF, you'll have to exit RM and run it again.

If what you mean is just pikcing a different remote in RM, there shouldn't be any problem with that.

Of course, using the wrong RDF in IR could cause all sorts of strange problems.

Thanks Greg, really appreciate the reply.

You are correct, it is actually selecting a different remote, I didn't change the actual RDF. It is still quite confusing that changing the remote on RM and then ensuring all the buttons are mapped properly, I copied the config, headed over to IR, picked the right remote, it gave me a choice of RDF, chose the right one (4M) and it still didn't work. Yet, if I program everything manually on the remote, upload the config into IR from the remote, it looks exactly the same as what I had.

Weird.
