I know someone else has had this problem before.. When doing a macro for input switching on some Yamaha receivers it switches to dts mode. This is because the amp was already on the input the macro told it to go to. Is there a way around this..or is there a discrete code to keep it on the input type it works on. This would not be a problem if the surround system was always on when wathcing tv, but its not.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

did you try the Yamaha website, they tend to have a lot of discrete codes

What model yamaha are you using? With all the yamaha'a these days all you need to do is add an auto command after you switch the input and it will automatically go to wherever there is an audio input. If you have a problem email me at [email protected] and I'll help you.

Yup, the way around this is to set all of the inputs to AUTO. That also will give you audio on, say, your DVD whether it has dts, Dolby Digital, or somehow no digital surround at all.

Whoops: maybe if the Yamaha is in AUTO and you hit the input button more than once, it will switch out of AUTO. I can't remember that detail. BUT --

Before that had occurred to me, the clumsy but effective way that I got around this when programming Prontos was to add a VID AUX command (VID AUX is never used in my systems)and a short delay before the input command that I wanted. Otherwise, the client could accidentally go from DVD to home and back to DVD, thereby changin the audio mode.

One thing to look at -- does the audio mode ALWAYS change when you are on an input and you hit that button again, or would it not change if you had waited, say, ten seconds between button pushes? If the audio mode only changes when you hit the button twice in a short period of time, and there is no way around the mode change, you may have to tell your customer that you can rapidly change from one thing to another, but you will have a problem if you change from one thing back to that thing. This will minimize, but not stop, the problem; you will then need to write a set of instructions for getting the system synchronized. I saw such a thing on one of the ccfs I downloaded here about a year ago, so you are not the only one in that boat!

That is exactly the problem.. "Whoops: maybe if the Yamaha is in AUTO and you hit the input button more than once, it will switch out of AUTO. I can't remember that detail. BUT --"

I will try the v-aux thing and see if it helps.

thanks.

that's the way I do them

If you add an auto disctrete command after the input command it doesn't matter what state the yahama was in.

There is not an auto discrete code that I have seen

There absolutely is an auto discrete command.

Here it is.

I also have a similar code

but it works only on a rx-v2300 witch is not the same ir as the other Yamaha receivers

Quest do you use your's on a rxv 730 or whatever series?

Been gonne for awhile....
I looked at the yamaha site and made good use of the extended ir codes, but they only did me anygood on my customers equipment. Not my own. I really only needed the help for use with my system and a RAV2000. I use an rx-v530. I now plan to upgrade.

Thanks for the help
