OK I have VPT functionality working but I am lost when it comes to the pause.

I have a pause programmed in using the protocol in the extender. But it's not pausing long enough, and it's set to the highest value (FF). I've read in other threads that the built-in pause protocol in the extender isn't ...

I thought I had tried that before, but I tried it again and it worked. Thanks for your help.

Now I have to tackle the pause feature and VPT functionality with the extender. I'm getting there. :)

I thought that looked strange myself, but those are the only options that I have on the screen (i.e., when I set the condition to Force On, the two choices below are Off/On and Already On).

Then I have this, for Discrete Off:

Thanks for your input. The only problem that I have is that there is no DiscreteON or DiscreteOFF keys for me to select. Is this something that I have to add in RM and then import into IR? The only ones that I have available in the drop-down lists are the default keys on the remote. Are these ...

Thanks.

It's becoming rapidly apparent that I know nothing about the extenders and all the various functions within them. Any and all help is appreciated.

I would really appreciate that. I really just need a quick explanation of what's happening and what I have to do to get it up and running.

Once I can get it running, and I understand what's happening, I'll try to write something up.

I certainly would. I am a tech writer by trade so I should be able to come up with something decent.

I was just coming back to this thread anyway because my searching is not turning up anything useful to me. And Lord knows I can't figure it out on my own.

Eglass, would you be able to give me a ...

The ToadTogs.txt file helped alot. Although it seems like alot of that's not necessary anymore with the latest upgrade. I'm going to keep searching and come back if I need more help.

Thanks!

Thanks to both.

I've downloaded and installed the extender. Now I have to search for some useful beginner info on TOADTOGS.

Thanks!

Thanks Robman.

I had not heard of TOADTOG until now. Can you (or anyone else) point me towards a good starting place to learn about that, or where to download it? I didn't see it in the File Section but I'm not sure I was looking in the right place.

I suppose that state memory would solve my ...

General help with macro design

Hello all,

[Sorry this is so long. I just wanted to add my thought process as fully as I could so that folks would understand where I’m coming from.]

Recently I made the switch to JP1. I own an OFA 8910, and it had the JP1 pins in it already, so I bought a USB cable off the internet for it, and ...

OK, I've downloaded the DLL and that did the trick.

The problem that I'm having now is the some of the discrete codes are doing their job, and some aren't. For example, I input the data that CapnTrips gave me above (I also tested it myself after downloading the DLL and I got the same info). The ...

Thanks to both.

I downloaded IRTool from here, but that's all I downloaded, so I guess I need to get the DLL too.

And thanks to Capn Trips for that thought. Now I just have to find discrete codes for a couple more units and I'll be golden. Unfortunately I don't think they're available for my TV ...

Hello folks,

Total jp1 newbie here.

I have been reading everything recently, and have started the upgrade process. I have an 8910, and a USB jp1 cable. I've successfully loaded upgrades, and now I am starting to program macros and am looking for discrete codes.

I found this site for my Onkyo TX ...
