Hi all,
I have an exotic problem with my "new" Pronto (SBC-RU990), hoping one can help.
My setup:
Harman Kardon HT Bluray system (BDS-270) in a cabinet.
Generic IR repeater (no brand) to lead the IR codes in the cabinet.
Until now, everything worked perfectly: I used a good old B&W Pronto (yes, the first model), and the HK Receiver was controlled without problem.
Here is for example the learned code to switch to HDMI1 (couldn't found any discrete code to work):
0000 006C 0026 0000 0159 00AE 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 0041 0016 0016 0016 05FB 0159 0057 0016 0E7C 0159 0057 0016 00AE
Now, I have simply imported my CCF into my brand new color Pronto (RU990), so the IR code is exactly the same....and now my IR codes only work like 1 time out of 10 through the IR repeater.
What's weird: they do work when I point the RU990 to the receiver directly.
I'm not an expert, but not a newbie either. I have "played" with my Pronto for years. Obviously, the IR repeater is a problem here.
But it makes absolutely no sense to me: why was the IR repeater working flawlessly when I was using an old B&W pronto; and why does it cause issues now with a color pronto,
with the exact same pronto hex IR codes for the exact same receiver, that hasn't moved by a mm in the cabinet?
If anyone could shed a light here, it would be greatly appreciated. More precisely:
- Why does the new Pronto 990 seem to treat the same Pronto HEX IRs differently from my old Pronto? Is that a referenced behaviour, and could I tweak the hex codes to behave exactly as on the old pronto?
- If anyone had "clean" IR codes (discrete codes) for the new range of HK home theater systems, it would be very welcome. I couldn't find them here, and of course, I canno't be 100% sure that my learned codes are totally clean.
BTW, I have tried the following:
- Relearn the IR codes in the RU990 by learning from both the original HK remote AND the old B&W Pronto: the resulting IR codes are the same.
- Relearn the IR codes in the RU990, with the RU990 in the cabinet (next to the IR emitters of the repeater), and pointing the original HK remote to the repeater sensor...the RU990 refuses to learn anything
- Tested most discrete HK codes here on the website, unfortunately these seems to be only for (rather old) AV Receivers, and not for the range of integrated HT systems.
Thanks!
Pierre
