Hi Folks,

I am having a difficult time with a client's Runco Projector VX1000ci using the PFP controller.

Here are two learns the client did for me. I do not have access to his remote.

Is it feasible the two learns would be so different for the On and Off command?

Many thx - Dave

What's the problem?

But they aren't significantly different. They are two learns of exactly the same power toggle command. I hope you weren't expecting them to be discrete power commands.

In case it helps, here are a few CCF files in which the power toggle matches those two, examples of one, signal.

[Link: remotecentral.com]

[Link: remotecentral.com]

In two of those, the TV in the CCF doesn't seem to be included in the list of devices that the author of the CCF provided when posting it to RemoteCentral. It's surprisingly common that important devices are left out of such lists. You are probably more qualified than I to examine the CCF file and guess the author's intent and guess how much more about his TV matches your client's TV, beyond the known match of the power toggle command.

YouDaMan, John! Thanks very much. I was hoping they were discretes but guess not.

I will look around in those CCF's.

How do you find matching codes so quickly, in the Files area? Does a standard search bring them up if you past the entire code in the search box?

Thx Again - Dave

There are 613 CCF files that I have downloaded from various places (but mainly from [Link: remotecentral.com] ) sitting in a "CCF samples" directory on my computer.

For each one there is a .txt file with the DecodeCCF output from that CCF and a .text file with the URL where I got the file and usually some notes I wrote about which devices were supposed to be in the file and what protocol and device number each used (and/or info copied from whatever readme or other text description originally accompanied the CCF).

That took a long time to accumulate, but it's really just an extra minute each time I downloaded a CCF file.

Given a decode of some IR signal (I used JP1 version of IrTool on the signal you posted) I can run a search program to find all .txt files containing that signal and list the relevent line of each, so I can see if the function name in the CCF was plausibly related to the function in question. (This time each was clearly identified by the CCF as the TV power toggle). Then I can click over to the .text version from each listed .txt and grab the URL where I originally got the file.

It sure would be neat if RemoteCentral let everyone search for CCF files by decoded signal. But they don't. Only I have that resource, and on a somewhat smaller library of CCF files than RemoteCentral has (though usually large enough for the purpose).
