HELP: Sony 1271Q - buttons don't work, may need remote

Hey,


I wrote the JP1 files for the RM1271. When I first did this I still prefered to use the original remote because it's hard to organize the buttons on a learning remote in a way that makes since. But.. Now I prefer to use my learing remote. My OFA Cinema 7 has all the buttons from the RM1271 mapped to it (even the codes for what happed when you press two buttons on the old remote at once in the 2 cases where that applies.) My Cinema 7 has a more powerfull IR blaster in it and it's far more ergonomical (it's not rectangular and heavy like the Sony Remote.)


That's not to say I don't like having the original remote. I would get one If possible.


The onboard controller shouldn't have the battery connnections and so on. It usually lacks these so maybe you have a remote in place of an on board controller. Sometimes it's possible to open one of these things up and operate a bit but it's risky (though at this point you have little to lose with this one in particular.)


I think that C R T cinema used to sell the remotes for these for under $100. They have been sold recently and the sale seems to have changed thier direction and focus a bit but they may still have them. If you haven't asked Curt Palme I would start there. Once you have done bussiness with him you may have my opinion that it's best not to pass up a chance to support him. He puts in countless effort supporting us here in this forum.


THanks and Good LUck,

Hey,


I use a One For All cinema 7 and all the buttons fit just fine. There were even some buttons that aren't on the remote itself. For example I think you hold down right and left sometimes to reset stuff and when you hold down right and left it generated a different code so it's like a different button. Also, I think I have a button for Center Green whereas on the original controller you need to hold down center Red and center Blue at the same time.


There's a lot of buttons but there's lots of buttons on some learing remotes and with JP1 you don't have to learn the commands you can just download a custom device. I made the RM1271 device code 1271 on my remote.


Like I said.. Sometimes a remote or controller can be fixed and I also like having the original remote and the on board controller too (It's just fun that have that sort of thing somehow.)


Anyway, Good Luck,


Brian
