What is a Misc "odd" Learned Signal?

Hello,
I have a combo DVD/VCR that I am trying to program the 9910 remote for. I found a very close upgrade and finally got that installed. The upgrade works, but I few needed buttons are missing. I learned the buttons and then downloaded them with IR.exe. However, my problems are two fold.
1. I ...

Newbie Installing an Upgrade

Ok, I am a total idiot. I am trying to install an upgrade for my Philips 750VR DVD-VCR combo. I found an upgrade for a 740 which I hope is close. I attempted to follow the steps in the help files as best I could. The upgrade does not seem to have any effect. One of the final lines in the help file ...

Thank you very much Tommy for the schematic. I compared it to my unit and it seems to match very closely. I lifted C16-C18, C24, and C27 to measure them. The values I measured with a Fluke Multimeter were:
C16, C17 and C18 all 0.22nF
C24 = 47nF
C27 = 1nF

I removed the can from the RF section. It ...

Ok, I took the base station apart. Unfortunately, R24 is already 220K ohms. (I guess the manufacturer also reads this forum! ) Not a whole lot I can do. I disconnected by cordless phone and several other items that could be radiating. But no improvement. Even with the unit disassembled and the ...

Just for clarification: The "blaster" is the 8-in-1 IR/RF Command Center. Part No. CCHAB01.

Thanks.

RF to IR Range Issues

Is anyone having problems with limited range on the URC-9910 RF to IR blaster? I just got my unit from the X-10 super sale. However, the RF to IR part only seems to work if I am within about 25 feet of the blaster. Beyond that, it does not work.
I noticed an RED LED within the blaster that flashes ...

URC-6011 EEPROM Size??

OK, I added a JP1 connector, jumper wire and EEPROM to a 6000 series remote. The EEPROM I had handy was a 256 byte device, 34C02 stolen from an old SDRAM memory module.

<Setup> 981 gives four LED blinks.

The IR program recognizes the remote, but keeps complaining about the wrong EEPROM size and ...

I was at Target last night and they had several RCA brand universal remotes. They did not have any labeled "810". However, they did have one labeled "807". This remote has an LCD screen, supports 8 devices and according to the package, you can program macros.
Right next to this remote is the "800 ...

Ok, I did more testing last night and found that I had made one mistake. When testing the "normal" BIOS setting, I changed the parallel port address in the IR program to 278 in order to see if the error message would change. Afterward, I forgot to change it back. This means that my testing of the ...

I will try it without batteries tonight. However, it baffles me as to how this would work as the EEPROM in the remote would be without power. The version of cable I am using has pins 1 and 2 connected together, but isolated from the parallel port. Since, 1 and 2 are the power to the remote and ...

IR Software Cannot Connect on Laptop???

Hello,

I built the JP1 parallel port cable and spent over an hour attempting to get it to work with my Win98 laptop. I continually getting the cannot connect message.
Next, I copied the software onto a flash drive, went to my WIN2K desktop and ran the software from the flash drive. It connected ...

Ok, How about the RCA remotes? Is the RCU810 the only RCA that is JP1 compatible? I see several other families of RCA remotes in the stores. (Like the 400 and 600 series.) The buttons on these seem to be larger than the One-For-All remotes. Unfortunately, these are all blister packaged, so I cannot ...

Thanks to all for the quick replies.

The One for All Remote I bought was the URC-6012W. I did not mean to imply that it had a connector. It has the holes for a connector. Being an old Sparky, I can easily add the connector, so I kind of glossed over that part.

The hunt continues. I only need a ...

List of Radio Shack Remotes that are JP1???

Hello,

As a total newbie, I am looking for a list of Radio Shack remotes that support JP1. At the local Radio Shack, the remotes are in blister packs so I cannot remove the battery cover to look for the connector. I am trying to find a simple remote that will cover 4 devices with fairly large ...
