JP1 Remotes

One (or at least I) could find an excuse to get near the $25 min purchase, if even to buy parts for the JP1 interface. :-)

But from the negative things I've read here and elsewhere, is it even worth the ~$15 shipped?

Some of the reviews I read (amazon?) mentioned the possibility of actual ...

Oh, and just in case anyone was wondering, these are brand new, in the box remotes. I was half expecting a refurb with no box, but nope! Only problem is that it showed me how much the backlight had faded on my old one, the new one is super bright.

Just a quick reminder that the RCU810 comes without the JP1 connector, and is harder to add a JP1 connector to than the URC-7800 (the other common model that is missing just the connector).

The RCU-810 is also much more limited without JP1 than other JP1 remotes would be (without JP1).

Many ...

The RCA RCU-810 is back on sale at MCM for $9.95, I believe through 08/17/04. Shipping is free on orders over $50. Not only that, but there is no minimum online. I got 2 of them (one for the bedroom, and another for backup for my main remote) for $28 shipped!

I know they aren't the most popular ...

Fantastic, thanks!

You guys didn't happen to find one that will toggle between the optical input and the "6-channel" input did you? I have the HE-100 and that would be great when listening to DVD-Audio discs.

Hey, sorry to drag this out, but on the subject of the Panasonic DST boxes, there doesn't seem to be any discrete power codes. All my other Panny equipment has them (even the rumored to not exist plasma discrete power codes) so I was surprised this didn't. Thanks.

Oh I see, you're using the pogo for the RCU810. I expect it is a PITA, we only invented the pogo because there was no alternative with the 15-2133 Kameleon. With the RCU810 you have the option of soldering in the 6-pin connector, which is a MUCH better idea than using the pogo. Yeah, but it ...

If you mean there was a small 6-pin connector in the female end of the JP1 cable, that isn't a "pogo pin" adapter, that's just a regular 6-pin connector.

A pogo pin adapter looks like this...
Yep, that's what I got alright. :) Kinda a PITA to use though, but it works pretty good if I tape down ...

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a go.

I just got my cable (with Pogo pins) from Tom at Filebug in my mailbox a few minutes ago.

Already hooked up and messing around, should be fun!

Mr. Rob,
Sorry to hijack a thread, but it's fairly related! Completely new to the JP1 thing (in fact, I'm waiting for the cable to arrive as I type) but I'm trying to get a jump on things.

I was wondering what the likelyhood is of the DST51A file working for the newer Panasonic DST52 OTA HDTV ...
