JP1 Remotes

Hello -

Sorry if this question has been asked 1000 times before. I searched the archives as best I could and couldn't find an answer. The closest thing I found was in the "JP-1 for Beginners" document, where it says:

"For example, using IR you can "apparently" program
Key Moves to the actual Device buttons. But when you upload this data to the remote you'll find it just doesn't work."

So is this true for the Setup button as well?

I am using RM with an Outlaw remote and trying to map a function to the Setup button. Everything looks like it's working in the program (and in IR also). When I press the button, the red "Transmit" LED lights up but monitoring the IR receiver in the DVD player with an oscilloscope shows that no signal is being sent whatsoever.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Steve,

Thanks very much for the quick reply. I know it was probably a dumb question, but I'm so new at this that I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong.

So here is my next dumb question -- why does the RM program let me think I can do something that really can't be done? Changing this behavior would at the very least save people the trouble of answering dumb questions like mine! Very Happy

Thanks!

Hello Nils -

Thanks for the update. I can appreciate that it will take some time to change all 100+ RDFs. We all applaud your efforts!
