Just keep in mind that if you find that you have JP1 questions, you should really take them over to the JP1 forum. John and myself, along with all the other JP1 experts, monitor it constantly. I only visit over here when things are slow over there.

Anyone else following or finding this thread may want to know that irs009 followed Rob's advice and moved the thread to

I'm all confused with all of these terms. I have the URC-8910, bought the JP cable (which is a parallel one), and have Robs txt file (Name:,Insignia IS-HC040917,,,,v8.37,). So I tried to copy and past it into the IR exe section called
General notes. Not sure what to do with it as it is not an IR file as discussed thru these forums. But when I test the interface, it says "no reponse from interface". The power in the remote works and I plugged the cable in both ways (one way the remote looks fine and the other way I get all crazy characters on the display.

I guess I'm not too bright after spending 2 days reading and buying this stuff. What Am I doing wrong? It seems like you guys got this device licked already but I'm in the dark with the procedure using the .txt file.

HELP?

As Rob said a few times, you'll get better answers to JP1 questions in the JP1 forum. But I'll answer here anyway.


You need to use either the Excel sheet KeyMapMaster or the Java program RemoteMaster. Either of those can load that txt file and produce the data that then must be passed to IR.exe by copy/paste.

All that is explained in the various help documents on the JP1 site.


That is a seperate problem. Doing the wrong thing with the txt file has no impact on whether the interface works. I'm not sure of the answer. You might want to skip the test interface and just try "download from remote". Sometimes the test fails but the download still works. If it doesn't, you'll need advice from a different expert.

If the download does work, be sure to select file/save and keep a copy of that initial download to restore from in case you mess things up later. (You could always do a full reset of the 8910 if you mess things up. But I assume you have some manual programming in the 8910 that you don't want to lose with a full reset).
