New to the whole process

Hi guys,

I'm new to the JP1 process (and posting in forums), I have read through the JP1 for Beginners area and still have questions. So please bear with me and any newbie errors I make.
Here is my situation: I have a Cyberhome CH-DVR 1500, my remote is a URC 6131 (not JP1 ready) and it does not have any codes for the Cyberhome DVR. I called customer service for the remote and they do not have any codes at this time. So I thought that I may purchase another 6131 (JP1 ready- since I do like this remote and it works with everything else). My question is is the new remote and JP1 cable all that I need and pretty much guarantee that I'll get my remote to work with the DVR or do I also need a learning remote that is JP1 ready also.

Thanks in advance,
Glenn

There's already a KM device upgrade: CyberHome_DVR-1500.txt, so you shouldn't need a learning remote.

gfb 107,
Thanks for the info and quick reply, I ordered a 6131M and JP1 cable and use the info that you gave me and go from there.
Thanks again,
Glenn

Here's a repost of my reply to you over at RC...

Well that's weird, could you re-try just to eliminate the chance of user error. The DVD/0698 code uses exactly the same signals as the Cyberhome and many of the buttons are correct, including the numeric and POWER buttons.

Robman,
I'll try again tonight when I get home.

Robman,
I forgot to mention that my original remote does not have a power button only a standby, does that make a difference.

Not really, just make sure that the physical POWER button is pushed in on the front of the unit. Also, try all of the buttons on the URC-6131, not just the POWER button. Several of them have the correct EFCs assigned, and while several of the others have the wrong EFCs assigned, the EFC that is assigned might still do something.
