I am attempting to setup my TSU9600 using the Wifi - everything works perfect except ---

The Sony TV -

I thought I had used the Control S input on the back of other Sony equipment to hard wire an IR input. Is this correct, if so, does anyone have any ideas why it is not working. The RFX-9400 does show activity when a TV command is sent.

I have tried the normal and low IR output settings on the RFX-9400.

All functions work perfectly when using the IR directly to the TV. The only thing I have been disappointed with on the TSU9600 is the vertical IR angle. I have to hold the unit almost FLAT in order for it to work with my TV - this is the only reason I am trying to use the Wifi with the TV.

Thanks in advance for anyones input!

Ted

I believe the Control-S protocol does not have a 40KHz carrier frequency like tradition IR. The RFX9400 output will have the carrier frequency of 40KHz and will most likely not work. Can you not use a stick-on emitter?

Can you remove the carrier with the new Pronto stuff?? With no carrier (Code only) you can use the Control S.
When good enough is not good enough.

Lyndel is correct. Sony control S is a baseband protocol (the IR envelope without the carrier). Xantech makes a device that does what you want. It accepts the same signal as an emitter and puts out proper control S. It is a small package 1x2x3 (inches) and is easy to place behind your sony device or hide it anywhere. Xantech makes several different forms of this little device to connect it's IR network to different components without the use of emitters. The part number of the device you want is 794-10. An emitter is much cheaper!
