The current RDF distribution contains only one RDF file for this remote: ER10 (Scientific-Atlanta ER1 (Explorer 3-device)).rdf. This would be the most current, and any others you might find are obsolete. This one does require using IR v6 or later (because of the MultiMacro support).
Like Nils above, I do not have one of these remotes for testing. However, two years ago another JP1 user sent the remote to me, and I created the current RDF file. It was tested with the remote when I had it, so I find it very puzzling that you claim it has "wrong mapping".
What this remote does have is a tendency to use the functions defined in Cable mode for nearly every button, even when in TV or VCR mode. This can make things very confusing. For example, in TV mode, the only button set to TV is TV (the power button). Another couple of examples: the slide switch determines whether the transport keys (play, stop, ff, rew, pause) use cable or VCR codes, regardless of which device button is active; you can turn off VPT, but then the remote will behave as if VPT was set to Cable. This remote does not execute key moves, and it can only execute macros on the A, B or C buttons.
All in all, this is one of the more useless UEI remotes. I'm sure you can get some use out of it, but your expectations should not be very high because of all the limitations. _________________ Mike England |
