Question re: setting up a 15-1994........

[Lurker1]

Picked up a used 1994 on ebay and I'm having trouble figuring out how to operate the sleep function in the native mode (non-extender) for a device without an internal timer.

So my question is would this be the correct procedure.

1) Do a 981 reset.

2) enter and setup the device code (say RCA VCR) on VCR

3) Enable the internal timer for the device is on (P-970 = two blinks)

4) Press device key and then sleep

I've been doing this and on some devices I do not get a blink after I press the sleep mode.

There's either a problem with the remote or I'm doing the procedure incorrectly. I've read some of the old posts here and on RemoteCentral but to no avail since I just can't seem to get the sleep timer in sync with the devices?

Could someone steer me in the right direction.

Thanks to any and all respondents.
