Hi all, I have a RS 15-1994 that, thanks to this forum, I have completely controlling my video equipment. I have, however, been experiencing an intermittent problem and, after much thought, I decided I would turn to the Masters of Remotes that frequent this forum.
Here is the problem: When I switch from any of the other devices to tv the very first button I press on the remote sends the device command rather than the assigned advanced command -- for 10 seconds. At 11 seconds the remote sends the assigned command. In addition, if a native device command is used within the 10 second envelope, subsequent actions send the correct assigned commands regardless of elapsed time. This appears to happen with the tv macro only.
These are simple macros that change the source on both the television and receiver for one button viewing, i.e., macro 1 sets everthing for dvd, macro 2 for vcr, macro 3 for tv. The macro sets the current device appropriately, i.e., dvd, vcr, or television.
Here is the equipment: Code: Device: 0176 Yamaha HTR5150 Receiver 0000 Sony KV27-EXR25 Television 0503 Toshiba 3109 DVD player ---- Yamaha YV-1000 VCR* (by JVC, old but good) *All learned since no codes seem to work.
Speculation regarding possible causes: Perhaps the remote takes time to load up all of the key mappings for the mode: perhaps there is some way to have the critical mappings loaded first. Is this related to the order they are programmed? I haven't investigated this yet -- I thought I would see if anyone out there could shed light on my situation before I start hacking away at the problem.
