JP1 Remotes

[quote="binky123"]Your RDF [Settings] line should be KeyMap=$01F.5.1.0.0 (Standard;Alternate) and within IR.exe, on the right side of the General Tabsheet is the Settings scroll bar. Scroll down and make sure it says Standard Keymap.[/quote]

You nailed it....the Keymap line was the problem (I had 5 ...

Progress. I can now get the TV to respond to functions sent by an upgrade device. However the button mapping is messed up. For example:

Physical button -> RM layout button -> Transmitted function
1 -> 1 -> 1
2 -> 2 -> 2
3 -> 3 -> 8
4 -> 4 -> 4
5 -> 5 -> 5
6 -> 6 -> 6
7 -> 7 -> 7
8 -> 8 -> 3
9 ...

Ehmm..wow...I don't know WHAT happened there. Can't even open the file on my own computer anymore without that same error. FUBAR.

Starting over.....tried a bare minimum upgrade and got some response.

Beginners/user error

Thx for the replies!

I started with the RDF listed in the 1.27 ZIP file named: 10631063 (URC-6820_8820_10820).rdf

I then modified that RDF with these changes:

1. Removed the references to 8820 and 10820 (I know....*n*l)

2. Per vicky's instructions, under [Settings], I added: KeyMap=$01F.5.1.0.0 (Standard;Alternate ...

Could it be that there is something wrong with the RDF for the URC-6820?

I can upload and download to and from the remote just fine (using JP1.2), and when teaching it the signals from my original TV remote, IR.exe reports the exact same protocol and EFCs that I am using in my upgrade file. When I ...

Thanks for the replies..much appreciated!

Vicky: Your protocols section was indeed different from the default RDF...in the default RDF a comma was missing between two sets of numbers.

Binky: You are correct..it was a typo. I meant 31 1F 1F. :oops:

All: With the corrected RDF, it still doesn't ...

I have a URC-6820 that I want to use with a Samsung TX-P3075WH TV. The TV responds fine to built-in device code 0812.

According to the Devices spreadsheet, code 0812 uses the NECx2 protocol (00 5A), with Device number 7 and Sub device 7.

If I learn a button (e.g. Mute) from the TV's original ...

I have URC7800 and an RS-2117 that I only use for JP1 programming, to feed IR signals to other remotes.

I am using a parallel JP1 cable that I purchased from filebug last year. It has a little PBC in it that uses the LM339 micro-chip, not that often seen interface with the two resistors and the ...

I think you can simulate discrete ON/OFF with macros:

ON: MENU-POWER-POWER
OFF: MENU-POWER

Went ahead and gave it a shot, and I am happy to report that the Sony DAV-FR1 Dream System HTiB supports both discrete power on/off as well as discrete inputs. Great! I used Robman's Dream System file from the Files section, and added the discrete input codes from http://www.hifi-remote.com/sony ...

I found a few threads where people discuss JP1 programming for a Sony DAV-S300 and DAV-S500. Also noticed that the Robman posted an upgrade file for Sony Dream Systems in the files section. I am assuming it uses codes listed here:

Before I dig in to ...

Excellent. I'll give that a shot, and report it if successful. Thanks Robman!

Have been a remote-nut for a while, but I am now finally entering the dark side into the JP1 realm. I got "forced" a bit by the desire to find discrete ON/OFF codes for a Sony DVD/VCR combo that I bought for my kids (SLV-D300P). I suspect the unit itself does not support discrete codes at all, but I ...
