See my posting here for what I did to get pauses to work on the RCRP05B

You have apparently not added the required protocol upgrade for the Pause protocol. See the output tab of RM to get it.

I write "apparently" because I cannot look at your actual IR file to state this definitively. It only takes a few mouse clicks to do, but so many people have to be asked to upload any misbehaving files to the diagnosis area to allow help to be more timely and accurate.

Thanks for response. The problem was solved after I followed the instructions posted by R2-M0. The RM outputs a a 01FB upgrade but that does not seem to work. The 01F0 code from R2-M0 works fine. It's really great to get such a quick response on a question. Next time I will remember to upload the IR code.
Cheers,
Hans

Normally we get the code from Remotemaster or Keymap Master. At thsi point in time, this remote is an exception. The Pause protocol that we usually use has a conflict in the RCA RCRP05B. How DARE UEI do that.

I posted instructions for this int the RCA RCRP05B's extender area, along with a protocol to turn on the phantom LEDs.

To install the Pause, copy this Device and paste it in the Device Tab

Code: Select all

Upgrade Code 0 = 08 00 (Cable/0000) (RM v2.00-preview7)
 F0 00 01
End

Copy this Protocol and paste it in the Protocol Tab

Code: Select all

Upgrade protocol 0 = 01 F0 (S3F80) Pause Protocol (Special) (RM v2.00-preview7)
 00 00 01 28 03 C6 C0 00 00 0A FE 1A FC 2A FA AF
End

I tried to add this device and protocol but the original Pause is still called when I try to add the Special Function.

If I delete the original Pause device, the Special Function tab doesn't have a Pause function to choose from the drop-down menu.

Could you perhaps describe the correct procedure in more detail?

Thanks.

I fixed the problem by cutting and pasting the code supplied by R2-M0 in thread:
http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewt ... 1579#81579

I wasn't able to create a new Pause using RM v2.02 Beta 1.5w since it wouldn't let me select an alternate PID for either one of the Pause protocols. I'm assuming v1.95 that R2-M0 used allowed that.

I'd feel a lot better if I knew a way to make this work with the current tools.

BTW, when I go to the link to download RM v2.02a, it contains v2.02 Beta 1.5w. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I'm hoping Vicky or unclemilte make some sense of of this.

Thank you all for the countless hours you devote to this. It's great having this community to rely on.

EDIT: As it turns out, all of this was unnecessary. When I started over with a factory image and added the Common v3.02 extender, the Pause functioned correctly. Not sure what I did wrong initially...
