I have the s-link box with a receiver connected to one port of the
expansion board and a transmitter connected to the other end. If I use
my sony remote, I can control the receiver volume up and down with no
problem. I also have a Pansonic remote that will control the TV and the
receiver. When emulating the sony remote the volume up and down buttons
work, but I cannot get it to control the Panasonic TV or a RCA dish at
all. I have two theories but I cannot prove either of them out:
1 - The Panasonic and RCA remotes are doing something different that the
s-link will not handle as configured.
2 - I need to load some device files for the other remotes.
In the case of #1, are there settings that I need to change in the
s-link setup to handle different remotes? I did change the two that the
instructions recommend.
For case #2, I tried to load additional drivers and cannot get them to
work. I created a simple driver file with the EZ Learn program and was
able to make it work with the 'try' button. After I saved the file and
went into CDJ I was able to add it and labeled it 'sony'. I ran into a
problem here where the setup box for the driver would not let me select
the s-link. All it would do is pop up what appeared to be the list of
numbers, but they were all blank. Anyway I went to an older version and
was able to get it set up. The problem now is when in CDJ I give it the
command 'sony:up' I get an error telling me that "sony refers to a
slink-e that does not exist". So I checked the slink-e number that the
'cdjr' is associated with and it is 1 just like I set the device file
to.
After reading the instructions everything seems to logical fall into
place, but there must be something I am overlooking.
Thank
