JP1 Remotes

Not sure I'll be able to explain this correctly or completely on the first pass. Basically, two RMDU's work but not together in one RMIR on an RCA RCRP05B remote.

Equipment Version 1:
This one has been working for years. It has an HTPC, TV[/url], Blu-Ray player, DVD, DVDR (Magnavox 515), Sat ...

mdavej,
Did as instructed with the "01FE" in the Alternate field. Assigned up & down to Pg +-, left & right to Day -+, and left click to Input, and right click to Ch-. Assigned the upgrade to Aud device. All six work as desired. Now the upgrade shows the protocol as "PID 01 FE".

Not sure how to ...

mdavej,
Apologize for not posting the files before - never did it and forgoet my manners. Here is a zip with the rmdu, and Ortek, mouse, TV, and DVDR upgrade files. Hope I did it correctly and included the right files.

Actually, that link is what got me thinking about the ...

mdavej & Vickyg2003,
THANK YOU!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

mdavej’s thoughts on the issue were right on the $$$$$$s. It worked first time and there is joy in WY. If I hadn’t been so dense about how to edit an RDF :oops:, it wouldn’t have taken very long at all. Never thought to look ...

vickyg2003 & mdavej, have noted your responses. Thank you so much. Please give me some time to work through them so that justice is done to them. No offense vickyg, but will try mdave's first.
