JP1 Remotes

I haven't seen a URC-4220 "Big Easy" in person, but my guess is that it isn't a JP1 or JP1.2 remote. The cheap remotes are usually disposable. To verify, just look in the battery compartment to see whether there's a 6-pin connector, my bet is that there isn't.

The store bought URC-6131 remotes are ...

actually i don't like them at all, but I figured they would be good for my grandfather.

The key thing to remember is that the "new" OFA remotes are likely NOT JP1-capable, as most of them are the new JP1.2 for which the tools are being developed, but are not yet ready for prime-time. In particular, the 4220 you're looking at is NOT on the list of currently-identified JP1 remotes, and ...

so it works then? good to know. Looks like I've got a bit of homework for myself. Back when I was into jp1, I never learned extenders at all, so I'll have to research that.

I was hoping to have this done by father's day, but having to learn extenders, I dunno if that's gonna happen that soon (I'm ...

the devices are a panasonic LCD TV and a (I don't know) receiver.

"Currently" not using anything really; he's having to use 2 remotes. He just got this new TV. His old TV had variable on the audio out, so he just changed the volume on the TV and it would therefore effectively adjust the volume on ...

Hey all, I used to be pretty familiar with jp1 about a year ago, but haven't really messed with it in awhile, so I have a noob question.

I seem to recall that you can't put Macros on some keys...is this correct?

I'm looking to get a jp1 remote and setup a macros on the volume keys for my ...

and while we're at it, it says

Byte 2
Set the second byte to the button hex code of the key with the macro that should be executed for a short key press (for LKP option), a single key press (for DKP option), or always (for DSM option).


What if I want short press to just act "normal" i.e. short ...

Can anyone help me find the hex codes for the buttons?

I'm following the directions in the readme. It says to use the DSM option in the special protocols spreadsheet, and use the "other data" to find the hex codes.

I'm doing that, but no matter what button I choose, it says #NAME? as the hex code ...

they're only $14, not 40

Shouldn't Macros button be on all devices by default? And I have to install a special protocol for DSM (device specific macros)?

I actually haven't installed the LKP protocol or DSM protocol or anything yet, but I have a macros on my sleep button, and its only working when in TV mode.

Thanks for all your help Nils.

Another question for anyone familiar with the 2116. I remember reading awhile back about the "whine" when the light is on, but to tell you the truth, I completely forgot about it until I was laying on the couch and heard it.

Does this happen on ALL the 2116, or just ...

(I'm a newbie, but...) I think that since your receiver is setup to turn on when you press the VCR1 button, its not gonna work.

Only thing you could maybe do was program Shift-M1 to be power off. Or setup the Long/Double Key Press as Power off.

Question: This L/DKP protocol, I've downloaded it, but don't know how to use it...

It comes with a readme file, a txt file, and a MS-Batch file.

I tried loading the txt file in remote master, but it says its not valid.

How do I use this?


Thanks.

could he use an extender to put macros on the device buttons?

And can you put macros on the device buttons?.
The 2116/2117 is one of the few remotes that does let you put macros on the device buttons.

What you are describing is the Long/Double Key press protocol (L/DKP). This is not built into the remote but is available by either installing an extender ...
