Sorry if my questions sound stupid, but maybe
there might be a different way to do it. How and
where are these codes repeated? In a macro? Do
you use a link or do learn the IR code each time
you need to use it?
With a little more detail we might be able to
give an alternate way to get the same end result.
I have a Proxima Pro AV SX1 projector that has many set-up options, but there is no direct way (that I know of) to reach any particular option. For example to toggle the screen aspect ratio between 16:9 and 4:3, one has to press MENU, then DOWN 4 times, then ENTER, then DOWN 7 times, then RIGHT, then BACK twice. I have entered these key strokes into a macro by repeatedly learning the IR Codes.
Is there some way to repeat an IR code without having to learn it again?
Is there some way to toggle an option without stepping through the entire menu?
(An aside - I have discovered that often the Learned IR Codes do not upload into PENG identically. For example, the IR code for DOWN will vary from one entry to the next when they are entered repeatedly. I then have to delete and re-enter the code when this happens. I haven't looked at the codes closely, but maybe the difference is just the length of time the code is activated?)
I do use Links when I want to access a macro elsewhere.
Some people have reported trouble when using groups
in PENG. If sometimes causes errors where you
can't save and reopen your file.
I don't know what groups are.
Also, to turn the projector on, one has to hold the POWER button down for 3-4 seconds. I am wondering if I can accomplish this by copying a portion of the IR code repeatedly into a single Learned IR Code.
