Does having a macro with both RF and IR signals work. I am having all kinds of troubles when I try it. The IR commands work fine alone in IR, but not when mixed in a Macro with RF signals. Things do and don't happen, and not consistantly.

I also find the instructions I am trying to use are not complete for creating a new file by transfering from certain existing libraries that I have. Can anyone offer a step by step? Help! Please. I am getting more and more miserabler.
Thanks,
ep

I had the same problem on two occasions, now I only use Rf or only Ir, never both on the same install. This can be a pain when a rear projection tv is invoved. On Pioneer and most Sony sets, a rear panel Ir/serial port can be connected to the IRF6, with additional hardware. Otherwise, I open the tv and place an emitter inside.

I agree with jcmitch on using RF for all devices whenever possible.

When there is no choice, I have had no problems, however, using both IR and RF commands in macros when the remote is used in multiple rooms (ie, different local TV's). I have had one occasion for the need to have the remote talk to two defferently addressed IRF-6's and IR output in the same macro. The timing and order of command execution in the macros can be touchy, but it does work.

What would be nice is to, within the macro, choose multiple commands to adjust their properties, similar to grouping button properties.
