JP1 Remotes

[Carlito55]

Let me get straight to the point. I did a search of all forums and only found one direct match for Pioneer DVD player discrete power codes. They seemed to have worked for that user. They don't for me. He has a dv-270 which is the same series/family as mine.

The device code that works is 0571 but the power codes (031, 035) don't work. I assigned them to keys before checking to see if they worked. I then tried the power toggle 028 but that doesn't work either. I tried reassigning the device code in hopes that it would restore the power button to factory preset but the power button still does nothing.

I haven't been able to find how to solve this problem and am forced to bother some kind soul for help. Anyone??

Thanks for all the great resources.

Did the advanced codes you use match those at http://www.hifi-remote.com/cgi-bin2/ueic.cgi?DVD_0571?
If they do, one of two things happened:

• You didn't create the keymoves correctly (read these directions.)
• Your DVD player simply doesn't respond to those codes.

Reassigning the device code will NOT clear any keymoves.

Instructions for clearing keymoves are in the manual. Here's the relevant text:

That link is exactly where I got my codes from. I didn't realize that assigning advanced codes were considered keymoves so I didn't even look there in the manual. I did do the keymoves correctly in the first place. Now I've undone them and the power toggle works as it should.

It appears that you've confirmed my fears that my player just doesn't respond to these codes. Does that imply that discrete power codes don't work for this player, or because this is a new model, the correct codes just haven't been found yet? I'm still holding out hope for the latter.

Thanks for your support.

Ahh. It seems I've been able to avoid JP1 until now.

My very recent prized possesion is a Home Theater Master MX-500. My research also told me that an OFA remote makes a lovely companion for the mx-500. I found the 8017 on sale at Radio Shack for $20Cdn a coupla blocks away, so I picked it up thinking that I wouldn't need learning or JP1. The info on this site and Remote Central has proven invaluable in finding the discretes I've needed (Sony VCR, TV power & inputs). I even found an open/close that wasn't even on the factory remote for my '86 Technics CD player! Wicked.

However, this power code problem is the only fly in my ointment as far as programming the mx-500 for my equipment goes. I expected to have problems setting up my Next Level (Motorola) RG2200 digital cable box but that went flawlessly.

Thus far, I haven't needed JP1 capabilities so I haven't read up on it. I did read somewhere that if I send in the 8017 for a device code upgrade, (it can't cope with the RG2200), UEI will install the 6 pins to enable them to perform the upgrade, which in turn will enable me to do my power code upgrade. All I need is a JP1 cable then.

Is my line of thinking correct?

I'm sorry for being verbose. My thorough enjoyment of remote techno-geekism spilled out. It won't happen again.

My remote just has 6 holes in the pcb in the jp1 area. Where can I find the info I need to achieve the end result of functioning discrete power on/off buttons for my dvd player?

Thanks for your support,

Carl

Thanks for confirming the hardware changes UEI would make. I knew I read that in a thread somewhere.
