I have 5 Sony XRB8's in a home and they all seem to turn on for about 8 seconds then turn off for 1 second then turn back on. I can't figure out why they're turning off then on again.
The discrete Power on command I'm using works fine in the standalone mode but when I run it through the RP 6 or XP8 it seems to have the turn on twice problem. I have put the repeat down to "0" but to no avail. Sustain is unchecked.
Anyone have any ideas or seen this before?

If your using macros in the rp6 or xp8 I would check them first. You possibly have created system macros that are running with on and off commands?
Without knowing what or how you programmed the system it would be hard to tell you what might be wrong.
Sometimes it's easier to make a small file using the rp6 (or xp8) and the remote and see what happens. If it works fine, then you know you had better go looking around your big file for something that is causing this.

This is a perfect time to use the STOP MACRO command.
Put the STOP MACRO command after the first line in your macro and test it. If everything works right, then move the STOP MACRO to after the 2nd line of your macro. Rinse and repeat. Should help you find where it's getting fouled up.

cool. I didn't know about STOP MACRO. That may help in the future. But I never have problems writing macros. :)

Is each TV assigned to its own port or do you have them in groups together on a couple of ports or perhaps just the hi output?
Sounds Like you just have the "power on" command on a remote button and not in a system macro? If not in a system macro, make one and assign that to a new button as a test.
I am suspicious of the 8 second delay, did you happen to notice a "run this macro" --- box in the bottom right on the macro? Or are you running any delays, repeat steps and so forth in the macro
Let us know what happens

I have discoverd that with the Sony XBR9 models, If you send it an input command while it is powering up it will turn off and then back on. After its turns itself back on the clock is reset. While it is powering up you can not send it an input command for 10 seconds. If you set your delay for 10 seconds you will be fine. After the set is on it works normally. The XBR8 series TV did not seem to have this problem. Kind of strange but thats what I have found.

If ken's found the reason, one thing to do that will minimize problems is to set the TV to the most commonly used input just before turning it off in the power down macro. That way it is less likely that an input command will be necessary for powering up.
For those sources that then require input changes, use flags to track power being on and being off, and insert a ten second delay after power and before the input change when the macro is started with the TV off, no delay if the macro is started with the TV on.

You sure it is not turning on when your macro turns a DVD player on or off? Some of the really smart HDMIs will cycle the TV when another HDMI device is powered on or off.
Found that the hard way after a lot of head scratching with a T2+.

Yes I am sure. The TV could have nothing hooked up to it and if you send it a discrete input command within 10 seconds of the discrete power on command it turns of, then on with the clock resetting.

Dumb question... The TV won't turn on with a discrete input command, will it??
I just found out a $199 Sony receiver turns on with input commands.

This is exactly the problem. Seems to only happen on XBR9's and I set it for a 9 second delay which seemed fine. Easy to fix but was sort of annoying there for awhile.
I put the commands on IR only, bypassing the processor and it did the same thing...turns the TV off then back on again. I did try turning on the TV with just the input command but it doesn't work.

RTrain,
In that last post you don't mention whether you've tried the things we suggested. If you're describing the problem before trying those things, then we should stop and wait for you to try them. If you've tried them and you still have exactly the same problem, then things are different.
Please help us help you by telling us what you've tried since you started the thread.

I have routed all ports for the specific TV. I didn't try the STOP macro because there was no need. I have nested my "TV Power ON" in another macro with the input. Those were the only commands in the macro. I seperated the "TV Power ON" from the input macro and the TV turned on without a problem.
I then attached the ir code to a button in standalone mode and the input to a button in standalone mode. (No processor or macros) Turned the TV on and gave it the input command under 9 seconds.....problem was there. I continued to do the same thing until I got over 9seconds ..the problem then went away.
The TV is not hooked up via HDMI.
Kenk99 is correct.

I just discovered a Sony DVD player that turns on with a Harman Kardon AVR power on command.

Interesting.
Luckily you don't need to use the HK power on command, as the HK will turn on with an input command. :)
