JP1 Remotes

My apologies for asking what surely has been asked a thousand times before, but how do you convert a Philips Pronto hex code into something you can use with JP1? I did search here for the answer before asking, but couldn't find it. Anyway, this page at Remotecentral.com has the discrete PowerON ...

5 people all in one living room watching the same TV with each having their own remote that controls a menu driven system....dunno about you but that just screams chaos to me.

There are 5 people who live there, but I wouldn't have 5 remotes. However, I would put out 2 or 3 remotes so that there ...

If I had the choice between spending the price of a Philips Pronto to buy a Pronto or to buy the system I described above, I would *personally* go for the latter. For one thing, you could have multiple remotes around the room so that different people (his, hers, kids) can control things. With the ...

If you're seeing things like DEV_TV you are using the extender's RDF, but from your other posts I gather that you're not really using the extender, so I don't know what's going on.

No, I'm not using an extender... and I have no idea how I managed to load/use the RDF for an extender... hmmm ...

I see it's main appeal being the ability to dumb things down for folks that want a nice entertainment system but don't have the savvy to actually work one.

Yes, exactly.

As for your TV tuner issue, it's not an issue if one of those IR blaster leads was going to the TV also.

When I made the ...

I've a whacky idea for a totally new remote system. It goes like this:

1. It includes a simple, lightweight remote with minimal buttons (volume, channels, transport, arrows, select and a single "extras" button).

2. The remote talks to an IR receiver box which sits (logically) between the tv and ...

I have several URC-8910 remotes. Despite years of using JP1 remotes, I find that I need for the first time to write some macros. I have an original manual for the 8910 and I've scoured this site looking for FAQs, guides and how-to threads, but I'm still a little confused about how to do what I want ...

I guess I'll... <gulp>... try to install an extender in one of my 8910s. It seems pretty intimidating, but I suppose I can always fall back to previous.

The RemoteChart.htm table/spreadsheet at this site which lists (or tries to) all of the JP1 remotes, includes entries for the URC-6022 and URC-6022x . The latter is said to have eeprom memory of 10k. However, after much googling, I can't find that the 6022 or 6022x are or were ever made, or are ...

The readme file for IR 1.86 says:

The Buttons panel is split in two parts. On the left is a table listing the buttons available on the remote. This table consists of 3 columns:

Button -- The name of the button. If the name is displayed in red, it means that no functions have been assigned to it ...

Does anyone make a JP1 remote which has a screen and 6, 8 or 10 buttons around the screen which would have labels (on the screen) which change based on the function of the button?

For years, I've used 8910 remotes at each tv. I have no trouble remembering what function is mapped to what button ...

Robman, et al,

Please forgive me, but I can't find an FAQ or a guide for controlling multiple ReplayTV 5000 series units with a single JP1 remote ( not the original RpTV remote ). I've owned several RpTV units for many years, but only today placed a second RpTV 5000 at the same location as another ...

Rob and Mark,

Thank you for your replies. As it turned out, I just pressed [SET] and a 3 digit number going through all the codes from 000 to 255. In hindsight, Rob's method would have been much better, but the job is done. Since I could find no published codes for my Sanyo tv (HT30744), I used the ...

>>> [Setup]-#-#-#

[Setup] is the set button, right?

# # # is the three digit EFC code, right?

Where/how do I tell the remote that it's the NEC1 protocol, device 56? Or are the EFC codes for 0-255 different for each protocol/device combo?

Is there a way to manually input an EFC code on a UEI (8910) remote? I have a Sanyo TV which uses the NEC1 (Device 56) codeset. All my searches to date have found no discrete codes for power or input. However, I thought if there were a way to try 0 through 255, that it would be worth the effort ...
