JP1 Remotes

Update! I just called RS tech support. They told me that the 2116 power key will not take a macro (how dumb is that!). Would this still be a limitation if I use JP1?

Thanks for the reply Nils. You are right, I am not using JP1. I can't do what you suggest, because I am getting the error message as soon as I indicate that the power key is the key I want to program (the object of the macro). In other words, it will not let me program any macro into the power key ...

I have a Radio Shack 15-2116 and I want to program the Power button to turn on all of my components at once. The manual implies you can do this, but it doesn't say how. If I try to program a macro into the power button, I get an error message (Invalid key). Any help would be greatly appreciated ...

Got it! Thanks!!

Jon,

Thanks for the explanation. I can see the advantage of having separate buttons for ON and OFF if all my devices were that way. In your example, if I hit the DVD button after all systems were on, wouldn't it turn the TV and DVD OFF, since they are toggles, and leave my receiver on?

I purchased a JP1 capable remote and ordered the interface cable. I'm just now trying to learn how to use JP1.

Thanks for the reply Rob, but what is ToadTog?

I'm a new user just setting up a home theater system. I just purchased a Radio Shack 15-2116 remote which seems to work great with one exception. My receiver is an Onkyo model TX-SR502. The problem is, this receiver has separate buttons for ON and OFF (Standby) rather than the usual power button ...
