2116 learned command not working/mem fault

Post by jbollt »

I am helping a friend with JP1 and 15-2116. We are using the upgrade "Sony STR-K750P" from the Yahoo files. (which states that it is incomplete) Learned the command (for video 1 on his amp), but it doesn't work, It shows two lines in IR...
#1 Gap-458-1235-7? OBC 48 Misc 30
#2 Sony 15 Device 48 OBC 34 Hex 44 or 45 EFC 240 or 232.

Keep in mind, that this learned function doesn't seem to work, but I have seen before, when using an upgrade, some learned commands may not work. So, on the Functions page in KM, we enter the video 1 under functions, followed by OBC of 34...we then assign the function to the TV/Video button on the Buttons page, copy to IR, upload to remote, and get Mem Fault. MFR reset, and try again, using the EFC 240 and 232..same results....

Anyone have any help...we are getting weary from too many hours at this today ;-)

Thanks all!

Tried again to learn the "Video 1" function again from the OEM remote, and this time it works! YAY! We are not even close to using up the learned memory, so we will just leave it as a learned function, and be done with it. However, a couple of questions....

Why does the learned command show up 3 times in IR??? It is listed as #1 #2 and #3....all with the same info..and why the "or"

Sony 15 device 48 OBC 34 Hex Cmd 44 or 45 EFC 2240 or 232.

I'm still not sure why we couldn't get this to work in KM as part of the upgrade. I feel as if I am getting better at this, but still feel very incompetent. The more I work with JP1,the more familiar I get, but still so many holes in my confidence level.

Thanks!

I'm guessing you mean this file, from the Audio folder:

Nope, but I fixed it. Read the sticky thread in the JP1-General forum for details on how to do the links.

That's usually an indication of a bad learn. By "bad learn" I don't mean that the learned button doesn't work, just that it's using up more memory than it needs to.

The fact that the info is the same tends to confirm that it's a bad learn. The "or" is because the Sony 12/15 protocol, as implemented by UEI, is a mini-combo protocol, so there are two possible EFCs for each OBC. When I loaded up the Sony STR-K750P upgrade into KM, I noticed that the device code1 was set to 48 and device code2 was set to 176. Your learned signal uses device code 48, so when you add this function to the KM file, you will need to either leave the byte2 column blank or set it to 0. The codes in this KM file have been entered in OBC format, so you should enter your code in OBC format also. So, in summary, you would add a new entry to the Functions sheet, enter OBC 34 and set byte2 to 0. You would then go to the Buttons sheet and assign it to an actual button.

My guess is that you either (1) entered an EFC rather than an OBC, (2) entered something other than zero in the byte2 column, or (3) forgot to actually assign it to a button.

Rob...it was #2...we had the wrong entry in byte 2 column. I have deleted the file in the diag area of Yahoo.

Thanks again for your help.
