I first have to say the usb uirt is a nifty little box. I however am having a problem getting my nec ht-1000 to go on and off. The ht-1000 requires the on and off button to be pushed for 3 or 4 seconds to power on or off.
I have tried to learn the codes in regular and raw mode, moving the remote around trying different positions. no go. I also also tried to import some pronto remote codes and getting no luck. I tried changing the frequency of the pronto code after reading some past posts about the pronto code freq. being curropted in the import. still I am sorry to say no go. When importing the power on code repeat is 31. If i try to increase it it always goes back to 31 after I hit apply or ok. for the off comand I get a repeat of 4, but the same as on, no dice.
It did work once though the first time It tried it. The batteries in the remote are new, pj is new. I am using remote extender cones since HTPC is not next to pj, but that is not the issue since the PJ remote does work through the ir cone. I also tried bypassing the cone and moving the HTPC to the pj, still nada.
ohh one more thing i tried is to block the remote for a couple of seconds before aiming it at the usb uirt, while still holding the on button.
thanks
