8810w macro key behavior question

Post by bgc99 »

My TV displays a menu when the input key is pressed. You can keep pressing input to cycle through the inputs or press a number key to go directly to the desired input.

I created some short macros to directly change to the input of choice and set the device mode to the correct device for that input. I first assigned these to the L1-L4 keys and they worked fine. I decided I wanted to move them to the macro keys M1-M4 but when I did the last key in the macro to change the device seems to be ignored. The remote is always in TV mode after the macros execute after I moved them to the M1-M4 keys. Any idea why?

Thanks,
BGC

post a copy of your original IR file (with the L keys that worked) and your new IR file (with the M keys that doesn't).

If you are using a cable and IR, please upload your working IR file and the malfunctioning one to the diagnosis area and provide a link to the file(s) here.

After further review, I discovered that the last command of each of the macros was missing after I edited them. I put them back and the macros work on the macro keys now.

This is all I did:

I had keymoves set to the macro keys so I changed them to the PIP row of keys in case having the keymoves on M1-M4 keys while I changed the macros from L1-L4 to M1-M4 would have caused a conflict.

When I changed the macros, I highlighted a macro, hit the edit key, changed the bound key and hit OK. I didn't do any editing of the content of the macros. I have no idea how the last command of each of them disappeared.

Sorry for the trouble,

Glad you worked it out. If you have any more questions like this in the future, remember that we will need to see your IR file in order to help you, so don't wait for us to ask for it, post it with the original question.
