Hi,

Too late, I've already bought the Harmony 1000...... Help please!

Bottom line is that I can't seem to select the correct setup for the Harmony 1000 to automatically select the relevant "Source" for each of the Activities I have set up when turning on the system.

I am using the following equipment with the historic ("Source") settings on the AVR-4308 set as:

Denon AVR-4308
Epson EMP-TW1000
Sky+HD ("SAT")
Play Station 3 ("HDP")

I have attempted to setup the following "Activities" on the H1000 and in brackets are the Source functions on the AVR-4308:

"Watch TV" - (SAT)
"Watch a DVD" - (HDP)
"Play a Game" (HDP)

I have tried renaming the default source names so they match; I have tried to program the remote to learn the "Source" buttons directly; I have also tried using the other available multi-step functions which allow you to select a sequence of button commands to access the GUI "menu" and then to "cycle" through available sources. The problem with the latter is you actually need to press more than 2 buttons to get to the source menu: Press Menu => Press Down (Cycle down to highlight submenu "Sources") => Press Right to Move into Source menu => Press Down (Cycle Down to Select appropriate Source e.g. "SAT")

Any help would greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

Eugene

1) Did you try all the "Inputxxx" commands in Device mode? By default, the Harmony Adjust Inputs is configured to use Method 2 (discrete method). Most AVRs support discrete input commands even if they are not on the original remote. If the discrete commands work properly in device mode, and the Adjust Inputs configuration uses the correct commands, then try increasing both the Inter-Device and Inter-Key delays. Make them both the same value in case the "criss-crossed" and/or "added together" bug is still present.

2) Did you change the address mode of your AVR? Many AVRs support alternate IR addresses. If you did, then the Harmony dataset will not match. You got 2 choices. Set the AVR address back to default, or, on the Harmony user interface, do a Device > Settings > Confirm infrared commands. It will ask you to send a few commands from the original remote to find the alternate IR dataset, or ask you the teach it the alternate set of commands. However, if you need to teach it the alternate dataset, you may not be able to teach it the discrete input commands if you don't have them on the original remote. In this case, you would be better off using the default address that has all the discrete inputs matching the Harmony database.

The Denon supports discrete inputs just as Jlet suggested.

Hi,

I managed to solve the issue - it was the Inter-device & Inter Key delays which were set too short for the devices to recognise. Many, many thanks for your help!

Kind regards,

Eugene
