JP1 Remotes

Actually I discovered a neat trick. Selecting any channel (by pressing a digit button) will set the input to TV.

Given that my input sequence is L1->L2->L3->DV->TV pressing the button positions the input at the end of this sequence.
And from there it is easy to work out how many times I need to ...

If a discrete input select is not forthcoming, how about a virtual discrete? In other words, is there a command (e.g. discrete ON or discrete OFF then ON) that always jumps to one input or does it simply leave it hanging at whatever input which was previously set?

Yes, when powered on the input ...

Does an A/V selector really need to be turned off anyway?

That is true, it does not have to be turned off. I just thought that given its simplicity I would be able to learn how to discover "hidden" codes.
Unfortunately following Robman's advice I am almost certain that it does not support ...

This is the one I have (hope the link works, if not you can do a search for CAT. NO. AC1674 on that site):

Thank you very much for your reply.

I have tried the codes as suggested. Either I did something wrong or the device does not support discrete on/off codes. I kept changing the second last byte leaving the rest intact - was that correct? Since there is not much risk in invoking some unwanted codes ...

1. Device: no brand AV selector and Pioneer DVR-520H

3. JP1 Remote model: URC-9960 and Philips Pronto
4. JP1 user? yes, used the kameleon and cable to learn some codes
5. Still have original remote? yes

7. Checked the Pronto file ...

Thank you!

It works like a charm. I noticed a new Panasonic protocol in the file, am I correct?

The EXIT button was linked to the CD open/close button.

Thanks again for the file.

I have learned all buttons from the remote and posted the files here .

It ended up being 3 files where the first one has the matching buttons and the last two contain all other buttons. I added their description in the comment field of IR.

I hope someone will be able to make some sense out of it ...

Yes, I did copy the Protocol Upgrade to IR as well.

The exact model is: Panasonic CD System Stereo SC-CH7
It is fairly old, I bought it about 10 years ago if not more.

What is strange is that as learned, the commands work in the URC remote. But when I try to create a new device from them in RM and ...

I am using an URC 9960 remote and I was trying to add a new device to it - a Technics/Panasonic HiFi combo.

Since there was no file already available I just picked a few butons that I needed and used the URC remote to learn them.

It worked fine and I saw that the protocol was Panasonic with the ...

Thank you very much, exactly the kind of info I was looking for!

I have read most of the documents relating to JP1 programming in the Yahoo area but I still have difficulties understanding a couple of things.

1) Shift keys. What are they and how do they work? Are they like SHIFT keys on a keyboard, when the same key can perform 2 different functions as long as a ...

I was reading the readme.txt for the 9960 extender (URC9960_Extender_2) when I saw the comment below. That's why I thought that maybe it was possible somehow...

The 9960 illuminates sets of the keys that are available in the current device mode and animates the device key corresponding to the ...

Just as I thought. Well, thank you anyway.

I have read this one "JP1_For_Beginners_Rev1.1.pdf" but I think I will have to read it a few more times...

I mean these documents are all very good, but it takes some time to understand how things fit together.
