Power Buttons - Combined / Seperated

jledwell · Post by **jledwell** » Sun Apr 19, 2009 12:18 am

Most of my device remotes have one button that toggles the power off and on. One device my 'Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 1080' projector has separate ON and OFF buttons. I would like to setup a Macro to power on all my devices and another to power off all my devices. As well as the ability to toggle power off and on on my projector.

Does most devices have codes for both toggling and seperate?

Is there a way to scan or check for a code that isn't on the original remote?

I tried to guess a code for toggling the power on the projector and it didn't work.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Many devices have both discrete and toggle power codes. On the other hand, many do not, so if you provide us a list of the devices you're talking about, we may be able to make some specific suggestions.

Also, if you tell us what remote you are using, we may be able to suggest alternative workarounds to this challenge.

Do you have a JP1 remote?
Do you have a cable?

Answers will affect the range of options available to you.

Thanks for the response. My remote is a JP1 (URC-9910) and I do have a cable.

The devices I have are:
Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 1080 projector
Samsung BD-P1500 blu-ray player
Pioneer VSX-D901S Receiver

Thanks again for your help.

I have this same issue so I'm hoping to revive this old thread.

My remote is a URC-6131b00.
The TV is a Sony XBR-49X900E and has toggle power.
The SAT is a Genie HR-44 and has discrete on/off.
The AUD is a Harman Kardon AVR 1510S and also has discrete on/off.

Everything turns on fine with the power button.

Sure would appreciate suggestions on getting everything to turn off.

This file should work for your TV, and it includes power on, off and toggle.

If your TV responds to the TV/0000 setup code, you can try EFC 113 for ON and 109 for OFF without even loading the file.

This file should work for your HK, and it just lists the ON and OFF codes.

This file should work for your Genie DTV and it includes all 3 power codes, but it appears you are already using this code.

I sure didn't phrase that very well. I'll start over.

I have upgrade (RMDU) files. The SAT file is the one you pointed out. It's working great.

The files for the TV and HK I created with a learning remote.
As far as I can tell, they are both working as they should.
I uploaded them to the diagnoses area with the intention of getting someone that actually knows what they are doing to look them over before putting them in the file area.

I didn't get around to actually doing that.

They can be found here: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=25188

My problem is I'm clueless on exactly how to create a macro that turns everything off. I set the move button up as the OFF for the HK and SAT but I can't figure out how to make the macro.

Do you know how to program macros in general? If so, you just need a macro that includes all the discrete off buttons. Of course, you will need to add the discrete on/off codes to your TV upgrade and you would need to assign all the discrete power codes to buttons (they can be shifted buttons or phantom buttons).
