JP1 Remotes

Ran Remote-master outputted to IR and all the buttons are not correct. Example: Right arrow is CC, Slow is Next chapter. I tried all the different devices urc-6131 but they all had the same results. Second question, how do i know if i have a 2k model. Bought from rob @ hifi-remote.com. Also got a new Sony KDF-E50A10 TV and was wondering what remote code is closest to this TV model. Any help would be appreciated, worked on this for about 4 hours so far with same results. Thanks!

If you bought it from me, it's a 2k. If the buttons all send the wrong signal for your DVD player, did you make sure that when you edited the upgrade in RM that you switched the remote to a URC-6131?

Another possible cause of this is when people change the device mode once the upgrade has been copied over to IR.

If you don't think you made either of those mistakes, post a copy of your IR file and post a copy of your upgrade file once you had finished making your changes to it.

Another possible cause of this...

Did you put OBCs into the column marked EFCs? (note that there's a button to swap them).

Edit - sorry, the "button to swap them" is in KM. In RM it is still possible to make this mistake, though, as the columns can be dragged an re-positioned and you can accidentally enter OBCs into the EFC column without noticing.

I changed to correct remote urc-6131 and also tried all the other urc-6131 just to see if anything would change but still same problem. Posted files under diagnosis area: Urc-6131 - Oppo RM file used & urc-6131.ir - Buttons for Oppo all wrong.

Thanks again..

Back to the beginning:

There is a spreadsheet called DEVICES.XLS which lists a whole load of setup codes and their corresponding protocols and device numbers. It has two entries for protocol NEC1, device 73 and these are not DVD players. Indeed, none of the device 73s are DVD players. Setup code 1023 gives one NEC1 device with device number 114. So there mght be a problem with the protocol name and device numbers or yours might just not be on the list (yet )

You are obviously close as you are getting some - albeit undesired - response from the target device. Where did you get the protocol name, device number and original (OBC/EFC) codes from? Were they learned or did you look the (setup) code up in a table somewhere?

Please post links to your files as it saves us from having to go look for them!

Here are the files...

All i did was change the remote type in RM and changed the buttons to correspond to my liking. Then send it of to remote via IR. Have done same procedure with other files with no problem.

I don't see anything wrong with the upgrade that you added to your IR file, as it certainly seems to match the RM file, but there is something screwy with the IR file itself. For example, when I click on the VCR/DVD/1642 I get an access violation message.

I've looked at the raw data to try and determine what's wrong and all I can say is that things are really out of whack. You appear to have 5 upgrades in there. The data for the upgrades gets stored in the memory starting at address $0104, and the first upgrade certainly starts there. The second upgrade starts at $011E, which is OK. The 3rd upgrade is listed as starting at $0141, but then the 4th is listed as starting at $011B. IR determines how long an upgrade is based on where the next one starts, so this upgrade has a negative length! In fact, the 4th upgrade supposedly starts somewhere in the middle of the 2nd upgrade.

If you have backups of your previous versions, I'd suggest looking through them to see if there's one that isn't corrupted, otherwise I'd recommend staring from scratch.

How do i start from scratch? Resetting the remote to default? Looked around couldn't find the last "good" backup. I just want to start at square 1 and try it again. Thanks again for all the help Robman and of course the greate remote..

Yes, doing a 981 reset on the remote will return it to factory settings. If you want to make the memory nice and clean, you could use the Advanced menu in IR to load all $FFs to the memory, then do the 981 reset.

But in any rate, I've just emailed you a generic file for the 6131.

Think it might be the remote. Tried to update with generic eeprom but kept giving me bad checksum error "Bad checksum at address $0000, expected $A4 $5B, but found $00 $00". Also tried to do 981 reset but when i download from the remote it still has the old data.

What version of IR are you using and what version of the RDFs?

Ir version 6.15. and the Rdf files located here: https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=1948

When exactly do you get the "bad checksum" message? Is it when you open the file or when you try to load it into the remote? I noticed that the file that I sent you was created by IR 5.x, so it's in a different format to the current files, but it should still open OK using IR 6.x (I open it regularly myself). But, if you want to be sure, you can delete the first line (ie, the one will [Buffer] in it) and then do a global edit to remove all the equal "=" signs.

Did you load all $FFs before doing the reset? If so, and you're still getting the old data when you download, then you've got me. As far as I can tell, this is not physically possible, so my best guess is that you're not telling me something that I need to know.

I did "Initialize to $FF" then 981 reset. Ok when i try to download from remote it now says: "No data found in remote signature. Interface may not be working properly. You want to cancel operation?" I click no. Tells me "select remote type" I select: Urc-6131nwb00 pvr remote 2k. Then i get: Bad checksum at address $0000, expected $A4 $5B, but found $00 $00". It downloads the remote info and it gives me this:
https://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=2164

Then when i try to upload it give me the same error above:
"No data found in remote signature" then i get the error: "Data read back differs from data written".

That's pretty much it.. Just want to know if the remote is dead so i can move on. Thanks again..
