8820 with extender locks up after installing upgrade

alfi33 · Post by **alfi33** » Fri Oct 30, 2009 10:09 am

I'm trying to install the Zune Dock upgrade on my 8820. I've assigned it to AUX1. It seems to work OK until I activate the URC8820ExtA7 extender. After activating the extender, the remote locks up as soon as I press AUX1.

I assume I'm making some silly mistake. Any idea what that might be?

Here's a link a link to the IR file:

You've programmed an infinite loop on the Aux1 button

If you look at your Aux1 button

p_aux
c_aux
v_aux
t_aux
o_aux
Aux1

You can see that this will loop forever.

Ahh.....of course. That was definitely it. Thanks so much.

The reason I programmed Aux1 that way was because I was copying the way the other Device keys are programmed. I thought that's how they came in that extender by default (I'm very likely mistaken).

After some trial and error, I've realized that I must have programmed them that way months ago so that my Power On macros (LKP) would work reliably. Can you explain why it doesn't result in an infinite loop in this case?

Yes, in your other macros you've called TV, AUD and PVR at the end, but when you are in those modes, you have a special protocol keymove on the AUD:AUD, TV:TV AND PVR:PVR. That will keep them from executing the macro again. I definately would not have done it that way, but obviously that will work,

Got it. I see it now. Thanks for the explanation.
