urc-8080b02 - how to activate keymoves?

[dtroutor]

Hi, newbie here. I have a urc8080b02 that accepts a device upgrade via jp1 simple. I am trying to operate a Venturer SVP580 5 disc DVD player with no original remote. I have modified the rmdu for the Kawasaki SVP500 to operate 70% of my functions. This was defined as setup code 1390.

Where I am having problems is with the extended functions, (those that RM adds as KeyMoves) for example Shift+1 thru Shift+5 that I would like to activate the Disc 1 thru Disc 5 respectively. When Shift+1 is pressed the led lights but there is no response from the player. When I use the Brute Force method laid out in the excellent IR help file by Vickyg2003 (thank you Vicky!), the player responds.

When I view the upgraded file in IR the entries show up under the KeyMoves tab but seem to have no effect thru the remote. How do I make the remote send the commands. (There was a reference in the readme of an extender for the 8080b02 that said to add a protocol to activate it. Is that what I am missing?

Thanks,
David

Also, how do I program the Vol +/- and mute to control the TV volume in all modes?

Upload your IR file to the diagnosis area and post a link to it here.

I'm sorry, I don't see how to post the IR file.

I figured it out. Here is the link http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=5046

Thanks,

I forgot to mention the device codes 0790 & 1082 were added via mail in to OFA. They didn't control many of the functions so I tried to modify the 1390 code from the file section.

Thanks again,
David

Also the TV that I want to control the Vol is a JVC, code 0053.

When you are trying to activate the shift 1 are you pressing shift twice before hitting the number 1?

Normally on unextended remotes you have to hit shift twice to shift a number button. All other buttons it's just shift then button.

[dtroutor]

I checked and the display shows that the Shift key toggles on/off with a single press (S in display). I did try shift 2x then the #, still no effect

I keep trying to figure out how the extender is applied and I don't see the additional devices.

The IR file that you uploaded doesn't contain any key moves so none of those shifted functions are assigned. Verify that they exist in the RM upgrade and then try recopying the upgrade into IR.

[dtroutor]

They are in the RM file and I have uploaded it to the file section. Here is the link. http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=5049

I have tried to enter them into the remote manually but even though the led lights up when the buttons are pressed there is no response from the player.

Thanks again.

[dtroutor]

I have even tried to enter them in the key moves section manually to no avail.

[Mark Pierson]

If you're sure the key moves are correctly setup in IR and you have uploaded them to the remote, try pressing your SETUP button instead of the SHIFT button. IIRC, the SHIFT button is a dedicated button on the 8080 but isn't used for what we refer to as shifted functions. Two presses will be required for any numeric key (i.e. SETUP-SETUP-1 for Disc 1).

[dtroutor]

Nope, that didn't work. I am not at all convinced that the extender is loaded into the remote.

Thanks for the input.

What does the extender have to do with being able to use the shifted versions of keys? This is a base function of the remote not related to an extender. If an extender wasn't being loaded for one reason or another you should have more issues than just the shifted version of some buttons not working.

What is the exact process you are using to get it to work when you say "When I use the Brute Force method laid out in the excellent IR help file by Vickyg2003 (thank you Vicky!), the player responds."?

[dtroutor]

If I hit the setup key and then enter the EFC, for example 107. The player will change to disc 1. Setup + 062, disc 2 etc.

This tells me the EFCs are correct. I am just not getting the remote to send them with Shift + 1 or even Shift + up arrow.

[dtroutor]

In terms of the question, what does the extender have to do with shifted keys. The only keys that seem to work with the shift key are those that have shift function in native mode. I don't know if an extender is the issue or not. I am ignorant and trying to figure out how to do this.
