JP1 Remotes

Using 8810w and JP1 here is my situation.

Leraned the code for selecting discrete inputs on my receiver. Using the EFC's that IR reported I converted these into keymoves and assigned them to the number buttons under the RCVR device.

Oddly then these do not work when pressing the buttons. Also when trying the EFC's directly (using the set key) they do not work either).

I've converted other learned codes with success...bit this one has me baffled...

Are you basing those KeyMoves on a built in setup code (whch one)? or on an upgrade (what protocol, device, subdevice, etc.)?

Are the device and subdevice numbers in the decodes of the signals that didn't work (as KeyMoves) the same as those in the decodes of the ones that did work?

I am basing the keymoves on the built in setup code (RCVR0013). So I am assuming the device, subdevice, etc would follow suit.

BTW, this is a Pioneer receiver...I seem to recall there is something strange in their EFC behavior????

From the learned tab -

Protocol: NEC2(1 Device)
Device: 165
Sub Device: Blank
OBC: 133
Hex CMD : 5E
EFC: 192

and

Protocol: NEC2(1 Device)
Device: 165
Sub Device: Blank
OBC: 12
Hex CMD : CF
EFC: 052

from devices4.xls:
052 is the digit "8"
192 isn't listed

can you post your files? maybe ZIP them together and post the ZIP file in the diagnostics folder?

Maybe one IR file with the learned codes in it, another IR file without the learned codes but with the keymoves in it?

ok..look for PaulR2.txt...tx

The fact that IR is displaying "NEC2(1 Device)" tells me that you are either using an out of date version of IR.exe or you don't have the current DecodeIR stored.

This protocol is really "Pioneer", with device code 165.

But even so, the keymoves should have worked.

Those seem like good commands:

EFC 052 OBC 012 Tv Input
EFC 192 OBC 133 Dvd/Ld Input

Steve, don't forget the numerals for receivers on OFA remotes are ususally the discrete input commands.

Paul/e34m5,

The simplest troubleshooting is to save your existing configuration in IR. Then do a 981 reset. Then try these keymoves again. They really SHOULD work.

BTW, is that an Zenith HD receiver that you have? If so what model? There is a device upgrade in the files for one including discrete power comamnds but I think it is only the SAT-520 and newer (although the file is titled as the 1080).

Yep it's a SAT520, the Zenith 1080 update works almost everything..I had to learn a few things. The discrete codes did not work for me.

Now the funny thing on those other commands is that when I try Set+052 nothing happens either...

So a generic question: when testing a code directly from the remote I assume that the device currently selected has no effect on this..or does it.

Do you have the current versions of all the software? Maybe that would be a good start if you have older versions.

ok, ok...I tried it that way as well and still no joy...the learned buttons work...but invoking the EFC does not...

BTW, I tried it with two different remotes and no results..(7800 and 8810)

I'm downloading new IR now...
