I did further experiment with the beep problem.
Everyone should be experiencing this as I created
a brand new, blank PCF and created one button
with an IR code from the database and it had the
beep problem. I don't remember exactly, but it
was something like:
Command
0.1 sec beep
5 second pause
and I got a 5 second beep. The only way to fix
it was "pause - beep - pause". Not exactly ideal,
but it was a fix for the long beeps. I guess
many people just don't use beeps during macros
and didn't notice.
I haven't tested the Dec-2005 firmware yet. Maybe
the problem is resolved. I did report the problem
to Philips, and they did request a sample PCF,
but they have been slow to respond in the past.
I just tried it too.
Link to RECEIVER - VOLUME UP
BEEP 0.1
DELAY 5.0 Sec
When I hit the button, the beep never stops. After about a minute I reset the remote.
Then I tried:
Link to RECEIVER - VOLUME UP
DELAY 0.1 sec
BEEP 0.1
DELAY 5.0 Sec
That worked ok.
As I stated before, the problem I have is that the beeps and delays that are at the end of a long macro seem to get executed at the beginning of the macro instead the end where I have them. I wish I could find a work around for that.
