I've just bought a kameleon and it works fine when operating my tv on its own. The problem I have is when I try to set up a macro it won't turn on the TV as the power button needs to be held down (its a panasonic tv) and the macro only seems to allow for one press of a button rather than holding down. Can anyone help please.

Also, a friend is considering buying a radio shack version, does anyone know if the one-for-all website lets you download UK spec equipoment codes onto a radio shack version?

I programmed the vol+ and - keys on my kameleon, and I saw that to turn up the volume, I have to push the kameleon's key repeatedly. The problem was solved by entering in programming mode, pushing the k's vol+ key, then I transmitted from my original remote with the vol+ pushed for about 2 seconds. I think that the original remote sent a few vol+ commands, and the kameleon also stored them. I think that you can try this for your power on problem.

Happy Hollydays !!!!

I really doubt that you have correctly understood the reason you got your vol keys to work as learned signals (when they didn't hold correctly in the base setup code).

The remote tries very hard to avoid learning multiple frames of the incomming signal and certainly won't store 2 seconds worth.

The symptoms you describe are most common using NEC1 or NEC2 protocol when the setup code you've chosen has the wrong one of NEC1 or NEC2 (has NEC1 when the device expects NEC2 or vice versa). The learned signal usually gets NEC1 vs. NEC2 correct (if you hold the orriginal key long enough for the UEI remote to see the difference between NEC1 and 2, which you said you did). If you're currious, tell use the device type and setup code and someone will confirm whether it is really an NEC code (and whether there is a setup code for the other kind of NEC with the same device number).

None of that does anything for the previous poster's power key.

pcfan, do you have a Samsung TV? For some reason many of the Samsung codes in the OFA remotes are the wrong NEC version. Samsung uses NEC2 but the codes in the OFA remote are NEC1.

Again, it would help if you posted the setup code you are using.

I don't know about the power key problem either.

Try putting the power on command into the macro TWICE in a row - works on other remotes I've had for a Panasonic TV.
