JP1 Remotes

I have the Onkyo TX-SR700 which is similar but a couple of revisions older than the 702.

I have not seen the need to insert any delays between power up and selecting an input. I have several macros that put these right next to each other, and nary a problem.

I tried to see if mine also had the ...

Thanks, Edmund, that did it.

For my understanding, where did you get this information?

I use a URC 8910 to control a DirecTivo series 2.

Recently the DTivo was upgraded in the same way as the original poster. The only change I noticed was that my Menu key, which previously functioned like the blue 'DirecTV' key on the original peanut remote, now does nothing.

My original remote ...

Don,

You asked for feedback from newbies as to the usefulness of the document: I would just like to say that I think it hits the spot extremely well in giving a 'systems' view of the whole JP1 world. I am a newbie to JP1; I have done enough (and learned enough in this forum) to get a moderately ...

2: there's a section in the KM docs about "duration control" What is this and why would I want to use it? How would I figure out if I needed it?

This is a feature of the device combiner that allows you to specify that a command should be repeated a certain number of times.

You might need ...

I implemented the suggestion of using the Device Combiner and specifying durations for the commands that were not working. This seems to have done the trick. It seems to need a duration of 5 for the Component command, as was suggested above. Now the macros are working reliably.

As a matter of ...

Jon,

I have the blinking emitters: I don't see any spurious flashing.

I do have the Xantech wall wart. I am using CAT5 for the cabling. It is about a 25ft run from the eye to the connecting block and then another 25ft from the block to the projector. When wiring it I doubled up by using two ...

A couple of new findings, prompted by the suggestions from gjarboni and jon.

1. I do have a wired IR system, and it is part of the problem. When I point the remote directly at the projector everything works. I had not considered this possibility before, because the manual commands work fine through ...

It has never worked for me (but I've only had it for a couple of weeks, and tried it maybe 10 times). I've been using RM instead but now I've run into something that RM doesn't support, hence my new interest in getting km going...

I just tried it after a reboot and the same crash happened.

I also ...

I have Windows 98SE, Excel 97 SR-1 with Analysis Toolpak, km v8.10 and km v8.11

During opening of the km file, excel crashes with "this program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down". Clicking on the details button produces:

EXCEL caused an invalid page fault in
module MSO97.DLL ...

Put that command that isn't working in the macro twice or three times.
I've tried putting it twice (didn't help): will try three times.

Second, (and you'll have to switch to KM to do this) create your upgrade in the device combiner so you can specify duration. This is how long the protocol sends ...

Anyone have an idea what I may be doing wrong here? Any obvious errors in the file I posted?

I've tried many different ways of ordering things within that macro but it almost always fails to switch the projector to the component input. It has worked a few times but failed many, many more.

I tried ...

Checked the device button was correct (I use the TV button for my projector upgrade, under Type: VIDACC Setup code: 1957).

M1 is the key with the macro. The shutdown macro on the Sleep button also fails to turn the projector off ("TV;0" should do it but doesn;t)

I tried creating a couple of short ...

I think I am. The macro has 'TV;6' and TV is the button I've assigned to this.

Nils_Ekberg wrote:If that is not the problem upload the IR file to the jp1 files/diagnostics section so we can get a look at it.

I'll do this later this evening

Thanks.

I created an upgrade in RM for my Sony VPL-HS10 projector. This u/g just defines 4 discrete codes for OFF, ON, S-VIDEO1 and COMPONENT: these are mapped to buttons 0, 1, 3 and 6 respectively.

Loaded the upgrade into IR as a device. I use the TV button for this device and when pressing the buttons ...
