IIRC, the default pages I've seen include a page that has something like "are you sure you want to shut down?" on it, with Yes and No. Maybe this remote should have that so they have the option to reconsider.
That said, the projectors I've worked with have two minute cool-down periods. I'm guessing that the programmer (did thebland program this?) didn't take the time to find out what the absolute minimum cool-down period was.
To find out, turn off the projector. Use a timer, and two minutes later try to power it back on. Then again, ten seconds after that, then ten seconds later, etc. Once you've verified a minimum that way, check it again without those earlier button pushes just to be sure.
In some systems, I want the projector to always be on one particular input when I power it up, so I set it to that on shutdown, then turn the projector off. These should be the first two commands of the shutdown macro.
Hi,
I am the programmer. This is for my own theater.
I use an RP-6.
I have a long shut down for a few reasons (6-7 minutes).
1. It takes 30 seconds to bring up the lights (slowly)
2. Slow lowering of volume (1 minute)
2. Allow the credits to partially roll
3. Source and amplifiers shut down
4. Projector shut down
5. Leave lights on in theater for a couple minutes after all is shut down to clean up, folks light to see their way out, etc.
Sometimes after starting this long macro, I want to disable it and continue to watch more credits or put in another disc. After the macro ends there is a delay before the projector can be restarted. So a way to stop the macro dead in its tracks
Thanks!
(I do have a screen that asks me if I really want to shut down (prior to shutting down).
