I have a Prodigy system with a PMC3 processor. I do not have the system file. I am wondering if I can use the IR in port on the back of the processor to issue IR commands to the system.

Ideally I would like to use URC. They may have codes in their database to trigger particular join numbers. All I really need to do is be able to activate the main page macros like "Watch TV", "BluRay", etc. I don't need any more than that.

The goal is to use a non-Crestron remote to control the home theater stuff (easy), but also to trigger only the most basic source macros.

Can anyone offer me some help? When I plug an IR cable into the IR in jack on the back of the processor, the power light goes out and the processor seems unresponsive.

Thanks,
