I have a Philips DVD5990 DVD player that I can’t turn off in a macro on an extended Atlas 1056. The same macro works on a non-extended 1056. I tried pauses before and after the off command so I am fairly sure it is a duration/number of repeats issue. The upgrade that I downloaded from this site uses protocol RC-6. The IR and RMDU files are here
Jim, This protocol is a little more complex than most. Most of the time you can pick a value from a dropdown box, and that's it. This protocol is an assembly code file, and requires a little bit more work. In this case it was just moving a value into the repeats register. Other times you need to actually put in a counter to force a certain number of repeats.
I made it do "08" repeats, but I think 3 would be enough. You can change the number in bold to find the minimum value needed. Experiment with what works.
If you want to explore this in PB paste the upgrade in decode window and press the Decode button to see what the assembler looks like.
Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.
Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.
Thanks Vicky
With the upgrade protocol the macro turns the player off with a count as low as one and without using any pauses. I think I will set it to three to be safe.
The Philips discrete on and off codes I found don’t work with this player. The play button doesn’t do anything when it is off. The open/close button will turn the player on and open the tray if it is off.
