JP1 Remotes

OK. So I knew it would be something obvious wrong wih it!

It is turning the TV on now, turning on the amp, but doesn't switch the amp and tv to the correct source. Pressing a second time does work.

I'll try the pause method later today, but was wondering if an extender would allow for more ...

The macro is bound to the CBL key now. As I understand how this works a little better I can see me clicking TV to switch inputs and the macro running when I don't want it to, which is why I switched it to CBL ...

All,

I still have a long way to understanding all this, but I do very much appriciate everyones help.

I now have managed to turn my TV on and switch to vid 2. Since I was at work while I was asking my questions earlier I only scratched the surface of my real question.

When I select a bound key ...

Not even to the point where I can test the delay between TV turning on and switching to Vid 2, so not worried about adding pauses or long macros, yet. I was more worried about getting the amp and tv turned on when pressing TV.

Once I get both devices turned on then I'll worry about making sure the ...

OK so I'm probably being dense here, but I'm not getting this to work.

My current question are just to make sure I don't have some basic concept wrong.

When Choosing a function like discrete on that is listed as a shift function, do I need to list to look like this:

Amp
Shift Descrete On
TV ...

I've started with the following:

under TV: tied to TV device button
Shift Discrete ON
Shift Video 2

This turns on the TV, but sends the Video 2 before the TV is on??? Pressing TV again after fully on does send TV to video 2?

So first question, is this normal? Can I add a delay?

Next question ...

Thanks for clearing up the shift key mystery.

I'm trying figure out the shift key thing on my remote. It looks like I have to press the green P key three times and then press the shifted key. Why three times.. does an extender make this work with only one key press?

Why is the shift key the "P" key. Factory setting? Can this be reassigned?

I ...

Wow, I didn't expect so much activity on this thread. I loved that VCR. I kept it because I always figured I'd come back and fix it one day.

I'll grab a model number as soon as I un bury it from my workbench.

Thanks for the interest.

Hey I've been searching for a tutorial on how to set up macros with no luck. Is there such a thread?

Thanks

I have a sony VCR that has been sitting around for a few years with a busted gear. As I was playing with my remote I noticed this section and would love to fix this VCR.

Without digging it up yet, my memory of the problem is one gear is busted. What information do I need in order to identify said ...

Yes very odd, but mainly because I don't want to spend money on more 10 foot cables for a fricken VCR that only plays strawberry shortcake and care bear movies.

As usually thanks for the advice. I'm sure I'll have more questions before I get this all figured out, but at least I have a starting ...

Wow, so what I thought I could do is have the tv or cbl option on and then set the VPT for both to the Stereo, and when on VCR have VPT to the tv. Doesn't sound like that is the case. I also wanted to have PT on the number keys when in TV mode. PT to the cable box that is. What about channel up and ...

I'm probably still missing something basic, but I think my first foray into the power of JP1 is setting up volume "Punch Through".

The general idea here is I take my current VCR profile, then have the volume buttons work for the tv.

Are the steps for this detailed somewhere? If so can someone ...

OK so I've got my JP1 remote (RadioShack 15-2116) and I've got my TV, Cable Box, VCR, Receiver, and DVD player to all respond to the remote.

I've saved this configuration after downloading from the remote into IR Mapper and am now ready to start to enjoy this remote.

First set of questions is ...
