Hi all,

I'm trying to setup the remote control codes on my Pronto. It seems that the Anthem takes a little while to get ready before it can actually take another IR code. My current setup requires a 6.7 second delay before the input can be switched.

This is a pretty long time to wait whilst everything else is ready to go (i.e. the TV and other components like a bluray player). Anyone know if this is just how it is or I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Can you post one or two of the IR codes that you are using to do the switch? Maybe, these are toggle bit codes.

Those indeed are clean IR codes and that protocol is not a toggle bit protocol.

Here's what I am wondering. Some cable boxes, for example, cannot handle high intensity IR and as a result, some put some electrical tape over the receiver and poke a small hole.

I presume you are not using an RFX extender here. So, here is a test. I presume you point remote directly at the Anthem. Are results different if you don't point the remote directly at the anthem, such as maybe towards the ceiling?

I don't think this will have an effect but something else you might want to check. If using PEP2, what is the 'Duration' of the IR code set to? To determine this, in the PEP2 My Database view, select 'Component Properties' for the Anthem. Check the 'General Delay' and see if set to something other than 0.10s.

Thanks for that. I will need to check the delay time when I get home.
And yes just pointed straight to the unit with no extender.

Thing is though when you turn on the Anthem, it displays "Anthem is turning on..." and it doesn't seem to be able to take any more inputs before that messages clears - and that's when you hear the receiver produce a click sound indicating (to me anyway) that it's ready.

Then it may be something you cannot overcome.

In that case, what I would do is to turn on anthem via IR (if possible), then send all the other setups (Blu Ray, etc) to minimize any delays, then switch inputs on the anthem.

Earlier Denon units had similar issues where they had anywhere from a 3-7 second delay after power on before they would be initialized and ready to go.

This is what Anthem support came back with;
"You can max the MRX start faster by turning on turning on Standby IP Control in the General Configuration menu. This option lets turn it on from standby with IP commands and to do this is consumes slightly more power while in an off state which lets it also remember settings making it quicker to turn off and on."

Is this possible with the TSU9200?

This is a setting on the Anthem and not on the 9200. And no, you cannot use TCP/IP with the TSU9200 or the TSU9300 because they don't support JavaScript (AKA ProntoScript) out of the box. With the 9200, you are limited to IR only.

I would turn on the setting in the Anthem to see if it improves your startup time, but what you may end up having to do is to build some 'Delay' or 'Please Wait' pages into your configuration. You will also want to reorder the actions you send such as to setup for Blu Ray (note that timing here is 100% dependent on your system and you have to work out the Delay times)

You would put these actions into an Action List on your Watch Blu-Ray page on home or wherever you wish to initiate this activity.


Jump Please Wait Page Anthem Power On
Anthem Power on,
Delay 300
Jump Please Wait Page Display Setup
Not an Action - Calculate the amount of time START(for these next 4 items to work reliably)
Blu Ray Power On
Delay 100ms
Display Power On
Delay 2000ms
Display Input HDM1 1
Delay 500ms
Display Mute
Delay 100ms
Not an Action - Calculate the amount of time END(If these actions take 3.5 seconds and anthem needs 7 seconds)
Jump Please Wait page Anthem Setup
Delay 3500ms NOTE: (7000ms - 3500ms you have already waited)
Anthem Input Blu Ray
Delay 500ms
Anthem Input Mode Auto
Delay 100ms
Antime Surround Mode DTS
Delay 300ms
Jump Blu Ray Transport Page
