I am using a 1994, and extender 1. Have device key macros, and have discovered the need for the delays, as the TV takes too long to be ready for the input change. Searched forum and found info on delay protocols, and am having trouble getting the delays to take effect in my macro.

Heres what I have done, perhaps I have misunderstood the procedure, or am missing a step?

In IR, I have added:

Upgrade protocol 0 = 01 FB (S3C80)
00 00 01 E4 03 C2 C6 C0 00 00 0A FE 1A FC 2A FA
AF
End

...as a protocol, and:

Upgrade code 0 = 1C 50 (TV/1104)
FB 00 01
End

...as a device.

I have added a key move in IR:

Cbl/Sat Phantom1 <n/a> TV 1104 $30 144. Tried $10 and $20 as well. No delays observed.

Thanks for any and all help...I am taking baby steps... Smile

That should work the way you have it but I do have to ask the basic question, did you put the Phantom1 in the macro where you want the delay and is it in a macro that runs in CBL/SAT device mode?

Thanks Nils! heres the macro: (I assume it runs in CAB/SAT devicce mode. Isn't this macro global?)

VCR button: =

TV;POWER;TV/VIDEO[A/B];SAT;Phantom1;VCR;POWER;TV;TV/VIDEO[A/B];1;VCR

thanks

Seems to me that that should work so I don't know why. The only possibility that I can think of is that extender 1 overrides it somehow maybe how it handles registers or something but I am not sure since I don't have the source for the extender.

Since you obviously need the delay, in the interim, try creating a generic pause until we can understand and fix this. Delete the keymove on phantom1 and create a macro on phantom1 with a half dozen or so Shift-Phanto4's in it. It does not matter what button/phantom you use as long as it has nothing defined on it and it is not phantom1 within phantom1.

"I think this thread is about an extender that doesn't allow macro nesting, so the above idea wouldn't work."

That would explain why the 6 shift/phantom4s didn't work either.

I will upload the EEPROM image and post when I have done that.

I have uploaded the image from EEPROM to the yahoo files diag area. Let me see if I can link this properly.

See Posting links to Yahoo files to find out how to create the link properly.

There are 2 problems with your link:
1. You used the wrong URL
2. You included a space before the closing ]

I can't seem to get the 'hide the url' part and "click here" part right, but I think the link works. I must just be too dense for this stuff...I am not a programer...I know, I know...patience...and I never give up....sometimes I just need little pointers. I edited the post trying to get the click here 9 times Crying or Very sad

thanks all

I looked at your IR eeprom dump and I am confused. In an earlier post you said the pause was on CBL/SAT Phantom1 and you had a SAT in the macro before the Phantom1. Looking at your file the Phantom1 keymove is in CBL/SAT but before the Phantom1 in the VCR macro you have AUX1 (3rd line). Since there is nothing on Phantom1 in AUX1 it will not do anything.

Change the AUX1 (line 3) in the VCR macro to CBL/SAT and it should work.

Nils..sorry..you are right, I changed it a couple of times before I uploaded it Wink

......now it reads....

TV; POWER; CBL/SAT; PHANTOM 1; AUX1; POWER; TV/ VIDEO; VCR; POWER; TV; TV/VIDEO; 1; VCR

FYI. I have deleted the file in the Diag area of Yahoo.

Thanks again for all of your help.
