This is the JP1 beginners forum. There's no such thing as a stupid question in here, so post away, but this forum is just for JP1 users and people considering JP1, non-JP1 users please use the appropriate forum above!
Try it both ways, if it doesn't work either way then you have a problem. (and no, you won't damage the remote by connecting the cable the wrong way around).
