I have a Runco DLP projector which comes with an outboard processor. Turning on the processor power turns on the projector as well. For the room, I bought an inexpensive Sharp 20 inch TV for the kids when we're not watching the big screen. I used the learning feature of the T2 for these two components and, unfortunately, the power code seems to be the same for both! I pretty much want to watch one or the other but normally not both. I plan on getting an IRF-6 after the first of the year and suspect I can get around it that way. Until then, any suggestions?

thx

Hmm. Either 1) they use exactly the same signal or 2) it's so close that they can't tell the difference. Do both devices respond to the other's ORIGINAL remote (not the T2).

Hadn't thought to check. Yes, they do respond to each other's remote. Darn the luck...

Dave,

You could use an IR543, IR to X10 interface, $19 and an X10 appliance module $13 attached to the power cords of each. Then add X10 signals to your "turn on" macros, to turn on the power to the desired source prior to sending the normal "on" command. Not the most elegant solution but certainly a quick fix, you would also give yourself the option of lighting control.

If you will be using the irf6, then you can assign a
ir port to each device as long as you place them away from each other so they receive only the signal from the assigned ir sender.

Buy a different cheap TV and replace the Sharp.
