It turns out my source remote emits two seperate IR codes, one signal first which is one tick of the volume, then a slight (~100ms) pause, then the repeating signal. The procedure I used to learn the proper code was to set my 15-2116 to learn, then point my source remote away, and press and hold the key, then after a second turn my source remote at my 15-2116.. Viola. Thanks again Rob, -- John ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

For starters (to give myself something to be happy about while I figure out this JP1 stuff) I just did the normal learning functionality with the remote and a wireless keyboard and quickly used up all the memory. While JP1 is cool, the remote is considerably more capable that the manual would let you believe, even without JP1. Check out http://www.hifi-remote.com/ofa/, go to codes and advanced codes sections, the codes for your receiver might be there. I found codes for my Tivo, didn't have to program a thing. I learned the volume keys to my audio receiver (a DVD home-theater-in-a-box), but noticed that I can't just hold down the volume key on the remote control. To get more than one tick of volume adjustment, I have to repeatedly press and release the RS 15-2116 volume key (e.g., I can't just hold down the 15-2116 volume key for a big volume adjustment). Is this normal? Is there a trick to being able to just hold down the volume key and have it work? This happens whether I'm in My System mode or DVD mode. The stock audio receiver remote control allows me to hold down the button. It's not how my 15-2116 works, and it's not how most remotes work, so I'd guess not normal. But if the regular audio receiver volume works normally, then all you need is to enable volume lock (it forces volume key to operate in one mode even when remote is in other modes) or use keymover to copy volume keys from receiver mode to dvd mode.

I've been a victim of owning several AV receivers and remotes. For me I find the norm is more like Robert describes. Holding down the volume key on the remote continuously lowers or raises the volume until the key is released. I also own the 639 Harmony remote and can confirm the volume key works the same. I've had remotes like the 15-2116 as well where holding down the key sends only one IR code instead of sending a repeating IR code. Having not owned the 15-2116 I'm assuming that's what is happening. -- Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: BlueCame1 ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Try reprogramming it.
