I hope I'm not using up my quota of posts here... ;-)

I'm having some real problems with my remote that I'm wondering if anyone else has seen.

1) My remote won't learn virtually any of the codes from my Sony TV remote, save the power button. The TV, video1, video2, video3 won't work. volume up won't work. strangely the channel up/down appears to be trying to send the "video3" code. This is similar to problems I had with learning TiVo codes (in previous thread) but to a much greater extent.

2) Downloading program from PC to remote works great. But When I try to upload the learned codes from the remote to the PC it fails every time. Same connection, same session; one works one does not.

Any help here?

1) I didn't have those problems -- but what exactly are you learning for codes such as "Video 2"? I've never known a Sony TV remote to come with those directly. If it's one of those dual-button assignments, I think you'll need to use the Duck Blind method (as described on this site in the Features / Tips & Tricks section).

Mine is doing the same thing when I try and learn codes for my jvc vcr and the chanel view on the Replay have you had any luck solving the problem anyone have any ideas? My remote will download the operating program but not upload anything. Is it remote problems or softwear?

Bill: It might be a 'softwear' problem if you cover the remote with a cashmere sweater. ;-b

Read the thread "Bypass upload failed" and see if that helps.

Daniel,

My sony tv remote has 4 input source buttons: TV, Video1, Video2, Video3. Is that what u mean by "dual button"? If so, and I need the "duck blind" method, does this mean that each button is sending out macro like commands? I'm not sure why since all they do is switch to the associated input...

i'll definately try some of the tricks in that section though...

Tlight: Hmm, so your Sony remote actually has a specific "Video 2" button? Interesting... how old is it? Also, Sony discrete input codes are very basic in format... there shouldn't be any problems learning them unless those buttons on your remote also do other things (such as power the set up or switch receiver inputs -- Sony receiver remotes do this but this is the first I'd hear of for a TV).

Daniel,
Yes my remote has 4 separate input source buttons. TV is a rear projection KPR-53CX35 53". Remote is the one shipped with it- RM-Y110. I bought TV about 7 years ago.

I've tried most of the trick in the tips/tricks section here, with no luck. The MX1000 says it has learned the code (ie it says "Good!" on confirmation). But when I press the programmed button nothing happens. I'm beginning to think I've got a dud or something.

If other things are working, I doubt it's a dud...
