JP1 Remotes

[minguy]

Hi. I just bought a URC 9910 and I have a basic question.

I have read through the general documentation on this site to get myself acquainted with JP1 and I cannot recall seeing an answer to my question.

Before I begin tweaking the remote, I would like to see how the buttons are assigned for the manufacturer codes. For example, I have a Toshiba DVD Player and the remote is already set up for this device. But I cannot find a way to see detailed information about how the buttons are assigned. I thought maybe the ir.exe program would display this information but no luck, though perhaps I'm missing something obvious here. Any help or direction would be much appreciated.

I think maybe this is not the right thread for my post, but I was not sure how to search for an answer. Sometimes having too much information is a liability.

thanks for the informative reply.

Upon reading the "Partial upgrading?" thread that was just bumped, I see that I could have found some of the answers there. So my apologies for the redundant post (which to my surprise has been turned into a thread - not complaining, as it makes sense, but I was quite confused before figuring out what happened).

After reading the helpful beginners docs, I have a basic understanding of JP1 now. And I can finally put away the remote for my divx dvd player (very rare brand). But I am having a hell of a time with the extender. I've read and re-read the sticky threads and the readme files and the only thing I grasp at this point is the concept. It's making me recall bad memories of barely-passed college courses...

Expect to hear from me in the extender forum eventually.
