Now I am getting this. But I have yet encountered another problem. I have a Yamaha rxv3000.
With one of my macro's I want to change to dvd input and set it to spectacle sound field.
Sounds easy enough but the problem is thus.
There is only one input button on the remote for all the inputs. In other words say you where on CD.
You then have to hit the input button 3 times to get to DVD input. The button scrolls through the list.
I guess I could use the input code a certain number of times in the macro depending on which input it is currently set at but that number will change all the time. Have I found something my pronto can't do?? Please tell me there is a way??

Thanks yet again.

Well I see there's discrete codes for the RXV2095 here:

You might see if that works.

Qtherwise, I would suggest a series of buttons "CD-DVD"
"DVD-CD" , etc. each one programmed with the appropriate number of input entries as you suggest.

Unless you have discrete Input Codes, that's the only way to do it. You will need to put a delay between each 'Input' in the action list.

but that number will change all the time.
True, but if you make a jump to the new Input Device's Panel with other buttons to go to OTHER Devices, you will be at a known state prior to pressing any NEW Input change.

In other words, for each Device, you have a panel that you will be jumping *from* when you change Inputs. This Panel will have a button for each of your OTHER Devices to push to go to those other Devices (Inputs).

When you are on Device (Input) 1 - you know where you are in the scrolling. When you press the Button for Device (Input) 3, you know that you need to have 2 Input Actions in the Action list for that Button in order to go to Device (Input) 3, ending with a jump to the Panel for Device (Input) 3.

On **THIS** Panel you need buttons for Devices 1, 2, 4 (no 3, because you are already there). And as a result you now know where you are *currently* in the scrolling sequence and can then program each of these buttons accordingly.

This can be problematic if someone changes inputs some other way, which will then screw up your sequencing. Sometimes pressing Channel Up + however many number of inputs is the best way. By using CH UP you know where you are in the Input sequence. You might get a 'flicker' of something you don't want on the screen, but . . . OH WELL!

Think about it, and try it. It WILL work. It's just not as elegant as Discrete Codes.

The RX-V3000 has the most complete set of discrete codes of any receiver out there! There ain't nuttin' that tops that baby ('cept maybe the RX-V1). I suggest downloading the RX-V800 file from Barry Shaw, or the RX-V1000 file from Daryl Holtz.

Paul-

Daniel is right - the RX-V800/1000/3000 are flat amazing for discrete codes. Really makes you have to re-think about what's possible with an IR remote.

To get started, download Andrea (aka "Webmistress of the Dark") Whitlock's Yamaha Extended IR Codes:

Apparently, the answer is "No".

Has something changed on the RXV-3000? I have worked with one of these before, and I could swear the individual input buttons were on the remote. Towards the top, right next to or just above or below the little orange display window? Actually, I'm possitive there were separate input buttons for DVD and CD and so forth. Maybe for zone2 you would have to scroll??? I think this is true for the RXV-1000 also. Any 1000 or 3000 owners confirm?

Hey you are right ! They are up there on the top.
Well that problem is solved. Now how about the dsp fields??

Download one of the mentioned files!

As for the dsp's, there are 10 or 12 buttons on the remote as well. I think most will toggle or scroll through 2 or more others (on various individual buttons).

Download one of the mentioned files!

YEAH!..... What Barry said!

LOL
