JP1 Remotes

[greenough1]

Not suer where to put this post. I've got an 8811 running extender 2. I used the device upgrade http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=735 for the zenith dvb318. It works fine except for the "eject button". It's mapped to the "rec" button. BUT it takes pressing "rec" twice befor the tray opens. One push gives no red light, second press gives the red light and the tray opens.

Very odd.

I've uploaded my ir file to http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=1428 (8811ext2)

This is a common feature of many UEI remotes. It will safe your devices from working while pressing the record button by accident.

For eject, you could do a keymove to shift-stop.

For my receiver, I use rec as the discrete off. That doesn't require 2 key presses. Is it because this is a dvd player that the 2 key press safety feature kicks in?

Any better ideas for eject on the 8811 that has no eject hard button?

Changing the device type will also break VPT, so programming a keymove is the best way to go.
