Any one have an experience with T4 buttons been slow to react when pressed?

I've calibrated the screen so it should be fine. Some of the page links are just that - page link with commands or macros so it should be reacting pretty fast.

Any thoughts?

What is slow, the page flip or the commands being sent?

Is this the same one that was set to standalone?

It's standalone. Realized I had a firmware issue when I upgraded. It's faster, but still acting slow. Just not as slow. Response is faster for page flips now. But commands are pretty horrid.

I'll probably test with the factory remotes so more to see if I have an IR problem somewhere - which is my current theory.

It's a rec room with lots of toys in it, so an RP-6 might be in order, but I want to figure out the basic command sluggishness before I small the ant with a hammer.

No issue on my T4 (I use with RP-6 but that should not make a difference)

what may be happening is the program has long macros/ IR repeats which makes the commands take longer to send

also look at the macros: the program adds a delay in between most channel digit commands: I always delete the delay and this helps a lot

Yup instant .3 after each command unless you edit it. Toss in a code with a 15 repeats like some guy put in Mega 13 and you could be there a while.

to me the RP-6 adds a lot of power and flexabilty to the system

in a room full of IR noise from flat screen displays, it really helps

Don't forget LCD displays spew out a ton of IR noise: more than plasmas, and that can affect IR response

(try a test : turn off displays to see if that is the issue)

This will probably sound strange. And I can't believe that I am saying it, but without changing anything, the remote is now acting more responsive. It's like a fresh out of the box remote that's been charged needs time to warm up to the touch and then its fine. Totally strange.

Never have this problem with the T2Cs, but this is my first T4.

I have noticed that the T4 does some odd stuff when the battery gets low.
