However, a couple of the input selectors are extraneous for the 985bx and I and the existing upgrade is missing the code for the 985bx "Aux 2" input.
Pretty darn close! I can control most of the functionality as is.
I wanted to modify the key layout so I loaded it up in KM and did that no problem. My next step was to use the 8811 to learn that last "Aux 2" input code and add it to my newly created upgrade (based off the existing yahoo JP1 file area upgrade that closely matched the 985bx).
The 985bx comes with the Rotel RR-927 remote. I know how to use the learning funtionality of the 8811 and attempted to learn that single code from the 927 remote. No matter what I try I get the single "learn failed" blink from the 8811.
So, i tried other keys off the 927 after a while and they all seem to work except the input buttons. For example, I can learn the volume keys or FF track, etc.
Any ideas? I wonder how the original creator of the 995 upgrade learned the codes if I can't. He did use a different remote so maybe the 8811 just can't learn them for some reason while his could.
his 995 upgrade file is: here
For fun i tried to extrapolate from the existing EFC codes sequencially, but that didn't work.
IR says that I have used none of my learning memory which is correct because I created an upgrade for the learned codes that I had learned for my Rotel CD player earlier.
The batteries in the 927 are new and strong. In fact, while I can't go into another room and switch inputs on my amp with it, I can bounce the signal off walls in the opposite direction and switch inputs. It's damn strong. Almost strong enough to make me wonder if it isn't IR/RF or some such. It won't go through walls though, so maybe it's just a hella strong LED.
It isn't a huge loss that I can't select "Aux 2" as it is my VCR and it isn't used that much anymore, but it would be nice to whoop this issue anyway.
Thanks,
Mike
