JP1 Remotes

Thanks, Guys! It sounds like the best way for me would be to leave the one learned key, Aspect. I just hope I don't run into a similar problem learning all the functions on the DMR-ES10. I posted back in March on that device. The upgrade files for other Panasonic models didn't even work on the power ...

I've been away from the JP1 stuff for a few months and seem to have forgotten a few things. I just got a Plasma TV and started with device code 0250. That doesn't do enough, so I learned the additional keys into my URC-8810. These keys are: Aspect, up arrow, down arrow, left arrow, right arrow, OK ...

Greg,

Now that I think about it, I like your approach of using the macros to turn on and off the desired devices, and using the power button as a master off control. However, I think that, in my case, it's a moot point. Here is my equipment list:

TV: Panasonic CT27SF25W (about 10 or more years old ...

Greg,

You are correct in that currently, some devices occasionally get out of sync, but as my wife and I gain experience, that happens less and less. When it does happen my wife calls me for help. There is one aspect of the way I use my system with 5 unique devices that your method doesn't handle ...

Greg,

The reason I haven't looked into the method you use is that I want a single key press to setup everything. More than that and my wife gets upset. Here is a sample macro sequence for simply watching TV:

Select Rcvr/Amp (surround sound)
Send power to Amp
Select TV
Send Power to the TV
Select ...

Rob,

I didn't mean to say that you had used macros, only that you had used those buttons (M1, M2) on the remote. I need them for my own macros and can't sacrifice them for DVD control. I do have a plan, but haven't finished. Also, many of the codes in your file do work. I'm referring to this file ...

Sorry for the delay. I tried using the advance codes by Rob for the DMRE60 and they don't work well. Some codes do, some don't. Also, he uses the macro buttons for some functions and I already use those for other cross-device macros. I'm working on getting it all straightened out. When I finally ...

Thanks, Rob,

Actually, I had read the Read Me First post, but, for some unexplainable reason (maybe it's the red font), my eyes skipped the part about the template being mandatory. Perhaps it's a sign of age.

As to the difficulty in creating the upgrade, I was reading the JP1 for Beginners and not ...

Rob,

I thought that most of this was in my post, but here is the exact format:

1. Device: Panasonic DMR-ES10
2. Type of device: DVD Recorder
3. JP1 Remote model: URC-8810
4. JP1 user? Yes
5. Still have original remote? Yes
6. Checked Yahoo file section? Yes, but could have missed the needed file ...

I just purchased the subject DVD recorder. I programed a URC 8810 through the JP1 connector and currently have it working with all my devices. I have several very handy macros set up. Now, without having to learn the Pano remote keys, I'd love to program my 8810 to conrol the ES10. I tried the setup ...

One more etiquette question: I read somewhere that it is my responsibility to remove the file I uploaded. I assume the way to do that is obvious, but how long should I wait before deleting it? Or will you delete it?

Sorry about that! I wasn't sure how to do this thread. The message in ir simply said something like, please post this (I assumed the whole ir file was meant, not just a cut and paste from the error message). Anyway, is this what you need:

I'm not sure where this should be posted, but I got an error message on one learned button (VCR UP). The message requested that I upload the file to the diagnosis area in the files section and then post a message to that effect. The file name is: URC-8810 with learned signal problem.ir

I'm not sure ...

Thanks, everyone. I'm back on the air.

I think that you are correct, but how do you do that? I've been through the remote manual about 4 times and I can't find the setup code to clear the remote to the mfg. defaults. Do you know the procedure? Can I do that with ir somehow?
