I have been trying to get a couple of IR toggle commands (Sony DVD, Power and Bose Companion, ON/OFF) to work in all off macros using the Toggle IR variable command in the macro editor without any luck. Has anyone out there been successful with this particular command? I Learned the commands twice and labled them A and B as defined in the manual.

I also checked the commands through two different IR programs, AMX and Crestron for similarity in frequency and amplitude as well as the IR editor in T2. It seems to be the same. Any suggestions?

The IR Toggle feature is designed to alternate between two different IR codes every time the button is pressed.

The main use for this feature is for equipment that uses toggle (or parity) IR codes which means that the donor remote sends out two different commands for the same function, alternating between an "A" version and a "B" version.

The way to use this feature is to be to learn all the codes in twice, learning the "0" or "A" version of the code then learning the "1" or "B" version of the code into a single library. This entails creating an IR Library with each command entered twice having one labeled "A" and the other labeled "B". For example, you would have 1A, 1B then 2A, 2B and so on thru the entire remote. When learning the commands from the donor remote you will learn the "A" version of a command by pressing an individual button the first time, then the "B" version of a command by pressing the SAME button a second time without touching any other buttons. You must be very careful not to mix up the codes.

After you have learned all the codes, you would create a Toggle IR Code macro for a single command using both the "A" and "B" versions of that command. For example, a macro for the number "1" would be code "1A" then code "1B". Keep in mind that you might have to reverse the order of the "A" and "B" commands depending on the manufacturer.

Mitch,

How would one know if a given remote used a toggle IR code?

Thanks,
