I think I have read all the posts but still can't get a delay. Tried this

Open RM, pick Pause Protocol (Special) and pick your remote model. Copy/Paste the Protocol Code into Protocols in IR. In the Special Protocols tab in IR add a new one and pick a key (shift-pause is an intuitive one) and pick the Pause protocol and specify a duration. Use that key for pause in your macros. If you use IR version 8, you can specify pause in seconds. Otherwise you'll have to calculate the value in hex.

In RM(v1.98b4) it says" Upgrade protocol code NOT REQUIRED". I paste the upgrade code into IR(v8.01) Upgrade Protocol but no Protocol ID shows up and nothing I try works. I get "invalid code in input". I expect I'm missing something real simple or I need simple step by step instructions. IR works great to down load and up load, macro works. All I need is to pause it. Any help would be apprecated, Thanks.

The RCRP05B introduced some new protocols, and one of those protocols has the same ID as the standard pause protocol. I'm not quite sure how to fix this officially. But I know how to get around the problem. Even though RM doesn't show a protocol in the window, there is one there. If you copy that protocol and paste it into IR, your pause should work.

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.

That worked for getting PAUSE protocol $01FB into IR. When I go to Special Protocols tab and try to add a new one, under target I can pick Cable, Pause, Shift but there is no way to tie it to the new protocol. The parameters section is blank and all I can do is check the Hex box, but that doesn't help. How can I tie the new protocol to a key?

I should have written "I picked Device = Cable, Key = Pause, Shift = checked".

Thanks for trying.

FWIW, here's what I did to get the Pause Protocol to work on my RCRP05B, without conflicting with its internal 01FB protocol. Don't know if it's the best approach, but it's effective...

First, I added the Pause Protocol with an ID of 01F0 (instead of 01FB)

That works! I now have a 5 sec delay tied to [Shift-Pause] in special protocols. I can use it in Macros, but only certain keys can be assigned. [D-green] and [skip fwd] work but not macro1 or macro2. I'll work on trying to figure that out.

Thanks for the help.

I can't get anything to work on Micro1 & Micro2. Even using the setup 995 I can't get anything to program to those keys. Oh well, lots of other keys to play with if I'm willing to shift.

Thanks for the help.

Added the code to my RDF and now my macro keys work and IR allows multiple definitions for the same macro key.

Ya'll are really good! Now I'll start looking for how to get descrete keys for swapping TV inputs tied to buttons.
