JP1 Remotes

Have no idea how to clean them but doesn't Amazon sell them?

Liz, Thank you for the tip. I tried 20 hex for the pause protocol and it works some of the times. With shuch a long delay, I decided not to include swithcing to HDMI 1 as my power up sequence. It doesn't make sense to hold and aim the remote to the TV and DVD player for 2 or more seconds to power up ...

Have a problem with my macro with the 8910 extender.

For the DVD player, I want to

short press on the power button: turn on DVD player
long press on the power button: turn on TV (needs long signal duration), switch to discrete input HDMI 2, set VPT to TV, turn on DVD player.

To minimize macro ...

underquark, thank you. I mangaged to get the fav key assigned to the way I want with extender.

I tried to use the learn function to capture signal for the Fav button, but remote shows INVALID and stop. Can I assigned learn signal to the Fav button?
Tanks.

Thank you for your help.
Found my problem. Somehow I messed up the device code in IR. Now the fun begins.

If you try assigning a bad code to a device button in IR and then load it into the remote, the remote's software detects the bad code and replaces it with the default setup code for that device button, which in this case is SAT/0392.

What does "seems to go OK" mean? That's a very vague statement.

Sorry, I am a newbie. By "seems to go OK", I meant there is no error message of any kind.

How many blinks of the little simulated LED in the lower left hand corner of IR do you get? What does the display of the 8910 indicate during ...

Got a 8910 from this site and a home made JP1 cable. When I try to upgrade the sat device, the upload process seems to go OK. However, the Sat device code is always set to 392 no matter what I put in IR.exe .

Most of the JP1 remotes have openings large enough to use the middle six positions of a 10 position connector. If you do that, I suggest plugging the unused end positions with something to make it harder to plug the cable in wrong.

I did make a cable with 10 position connector but it won't fit ...

Seems like most place have 10 or more positions but not 6.

I would recommend the URC-8910 as it lets you program macros to the device buttons even without using an extender. I sell these for $20 each, plus $4 shipping.

Another newbie question. The one you sell has the JP1 pins on them already and I don't need to do any mod/addition to the remote, right ...
