I have a Sony AV3000 -- works great with all my
components...
I hook up my laptop (media center 2004) to my
TV and AV Receiver, works great. The Media Center
laptop comes with a media center remote control,
which interfaces with a IR receiver that connects
to the computer.

Anyway, I'm trying to learn from this remote control
to the AV3000, but I get this weird quirk.
Everything "learns" correctly, but when I press
a button, like DOWN (in order to scroll down the
menu), it will only work once. It will go down,
and if I press DOWN again, it will not go down
again on the menu. I need to press another button
(any other button) and then press down again,
and it will work.

Another example, if a movie is playing, and I
want to fast forward, normally, on the media center
remote, i can hit fast forward and it will fast
forward slowly. if i press fast forward again,
it will go faster.. and so on.
however, if i try it on the av3000, i press fast
forward once, it will only go to the slow fast
forward. if i hit it again, nothing will happen.
i must press another button, and then i can hit
fast forward again.

just to make things clear, after learning from
the media center remote onto the av3000, i can
only press a button once. in order to have the
button work again, i need to press another button
in between.

anyone have any ideas?
i'd appreciate any help or suggestions..
thanks
mike
