Danno, don't give up yet. You just need to think
outside the box.
1) In your 1st post, you said that it always goes
to CAM1. Well at least it got out of the internal
DVD. What was the "Adjust Input" method used (Flip
through the inputs, Go directly to the input,
Bring up menu with button cycle, or Bring up a
menu with direct button), and what were the command(s)
used?
It only stays in internal dvd input mode if there is a dvd disc in it.
2) In post 6, you said it ignored the "Monitor"
command. Did you try this command in device mode?
Yes, if a dvd disc is in the player in ignores all input until the FBI stuff and then main menu is displayed. Then a STOP command has to be issued to switch to EXT2.
3a) While in internal DVD, what happens if you
issue an "InputNext" command (try it in device
mode)?
All this command does is switch between DVD and TV.
3b) While in external input, what happens if you
issue an "InputNext" command?
Same as 3a.
4) What happens if you issue an "InputNext" command
after you issue a 02 command?
It goes to 002 input which doesn't exist. InputNext then toggles TV/DVD.
5) In device mode, try the "InputVcr" and "InputDvd"
commands. Do they do anything?
Froze the DVDR615 for about 30 seconds.
6) I just noticed that the default "Adjust inputs"
(see post 4) sends 02 followed by some amount
of "ChannelDown" commands. The "ChannelDown" command
does not make sense here. Maybe all you need to
do is replaced them by the "InputNext" commands.
Again InputNext only toggles between TV/DVD so it is useless for me.
I will check out the SONY dvdr's next time I am at BestBuy; sounds like Sony designs them to work well with a Universal Remote.
Thanks,
Danno
