RE. my 4 questions above:

I've resolved 1, 1.a, and 2. by explicitely teaching those IR commands to buttons (I was even able to program in the Sony 400 projector's joystick control).

ps: i've posted a picture of the remote at:

Bossmonkey,

3) The equivelent of the shift key on the 15-1994 is the P key at the top left. You can learn a function or macro to a P-then-Key and keep the original key function.

For example my receiver has SURR key programmed for Surround Effects toggle. I have set P-SURR to enable Enhanced-DPL/DD effects on my Yamaha 2092.

4) Yep, This model has a blueish-white backlighting. I prefer this one better than the redish backlighting.

Andre or Bossmonkey,

How about a quick "learning" feature summary? Are all the buttons able to learn commands, or just a select few. Andre touched on this in his original post (WAY up there now!), but never gave any more detail. Now that you've had a couple of weeks to play with it . . . what's the scoop?

Yeah Andre, please enlighten us.

I have a Denon 2800 that comes with a programmable/learning remote control.

However, it is not backlit and is limited on which keys you can "learn" on and how long the macros are.

The 15-1994 sounds pretty good. Any more info you can offer about which keys can be programmed???

Thanks!

Ok, receiver remotes have keys assigned to switching (on the receiver) between different component inputs (i.e., CD, tape, DVD). How do you do this with the 15-1994?

If I hit CD, then it will change to control the CD player and not the receiver. If I hit VCR then it will control the VCR, not the receiver.

Do you program the main selection keys (at the top) to switch the receiver to that component and then control that component?

HELP!

If Andre doesn't mind too much, I'll take a stab at answering the questions in the previous two posts. To Steve, the RS 15-1994 can learn to any key except the input keys (AUX 1, AUX 2, CD etc.) the "P" setup key and the lightbulb symbol. Read the instructions in the manual for setting up to the s1-s4 smart keys and instead of selecting
one of them, press any other key that you want to learn a function. I used the learning functions to program the transport keys in SAT mode to handle the basic functions of my laser disc player (my 7th component controlled by this remote). I've placed at least one or two learned codes on all of my device inputs and haven't run out of memory yet. But, as a word of caution, you can try to find the advanced codes for your equip. available through One for All before resorting to learning in order to conserve memory.
To Gil, in "receiver" mode, the remote uses the number keys for component inputs. I own the Denon 2700 and in receiver mode (set to AUX 1), the number 2 selects DVD on the receiver, 7 selects DSS, 0 selects CD Player, etc. You will probably end up using the same Denon code as I (0160)so your remote should work the same. After programming the remote, press each number key to see which input is selected.

Hope this helps.

To add to what Dave said above:

In addition my remote (when in receiver mode) also CYCLES thru the input devices when i press the TV/VIDEO button repeatedly (if you can't remember which number is for which device).

Andre,

Thanks for your help.

Bossmonkey,

Would you share how you solved 1 and 1a and give an example. The RS manual is a joke!

Thanks in advance,

Any comments on the 15-1995 remote from Radio Shack? It seems to be a re-packaged Home Producer IR/RF remote.

In reference to solve Bassmonkey's 1 and 1a problems. Unfortunately, the 1994's provided "volume punch through" feature only works with the TV and not the Receiver. There are two ways that I would recommend of solving this problem, both involve re-assignins the volume and mute bottons (in the DVD/VCR/DSS modes) to work the same as the Receive volume buttons. Bossmonkey doesn't need to do this in the TV mode because he still wants those to control his TV volume, so 1a was actually achieved by doing nothing.

The first way is to "remap" the volume and mute buttons in the DVD mode to actually send the Receiver volume commands when they are pressed. Here are the key presses to accomplish this:
DVD(Aux2)* Setup*--** 9* 9* 4** Rcvr(Aux1)* Vol Up* Vol Up--**
then do:
DVD(Aux2)* Setup*--** 9* 9* 4** Rcvr(Aux1)* Vol Down* Vol Down--**
then do:
DVD(Aux2)* Setup*--** 9* 9* 4** Rcvr(Aux1)* Mute* Mute--**

Now any time that your remote is in DVD(Aux2) mode and you press the Volume Up key, it will turn the Volume Up on your Receiver. You can do the same thing for the VCR mode by replacing the DVD(Aux2) press with the press of the VCR device button.

The second way of solving the problem is to "learn" the Receiver Remote's volume commands to the DVD device volume buttons. Sorry, but I don't have the specific key presses for this handy. This will accomplish the same thing as above.

By not doing one of these two things to the TV device volume buttons, it will not reassign those keys and thus accomplishing the 1a problem. Kinda nice, solving a problem by doing nothing!

For a little bit deeper information, why would you choose option 1 over option 2 or choose option 2 over option 1???? As was written in another thread about the Cinema 7, these remotes use two different memory storage areas. One area is for Macros, remappings, and advanced codes. Another area is for "learning" commands. These two areas are completely separate. So, if you are already using a lot of macros, remappings, or advanced codes then I would suggest using option 2 and "learning" the commands so that it moves this information over to the "learning" memory area. Or if you are learning a lot of commands, then use the remapping option to help even out the memory utilization. Memory on these remotes is somewhat small, so maximizing it's utilization is important.

What keys do you program the macros on? Do you have to hit a certain key before the macro button to tell it you are using the macro version?

In other words, do you have to press "P" then the button. Then I could program the VCR key to be a macro and tell my wife to hit "P" "VCR" and it would automatically turn everything on.

Is that the way the macros work or do you just program them to the Smart Keys 1-4?

Thanks.

ALSO, when you use a learned key do you have to press "P" before it or when I have pressed VCR (at the top) then all the buttons I press will have been programmed for the VCR. And if I press Aux1 then all the buttons become Aux1 buttons, and so on???

I just bought this remote and I like it but I have one problem. It has a code that turns on and off my Technics SA-DX930 receiver, but that's all it does. Volume, mode, sound type, etc don't work. In fact no button does anything that works. The receiver came with a remote that operated all the functions... I thought at LEAST volume should work!

Saw the 15-1934 at Radio Shack and even the 15-1993 (4 in 1 remote) but couldn't find the 15-1994.

What is the difference between the 15-1934 and the 15-1994?
