[slinkelist] Anybody Automated a DA30es Receiver via S-Link??

[Darren Apfel]

I'm having trouble getting my receiver to behave as I would like it to.  Can
anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?  See message below...

Thanks David:

Not having much success here...

I have 3 goals:
1. power on tuner, then select TV/DBS as the source
2. volume up
3. volume down

All of them are failing.

I have a DA30ES.  I also have a sony TV.  So I have loaded the amp_sls.cde
and tv.cde files from the sony directory of the device files directory.

Sonytv:?? (haven't figured out what to map to this yet, but I'm subbing temp
commands such as vol+)
{
receiver:power_on
receiver:input tv
}

Receiver powers up fine... but no matter what "variable" I shove next to
input, it defaults to the radio tuner.

Also: the DishPlayer remote really only has 3 non-dish controls: vol+, vol-,
and PIP.  So PIP was going to have to be my receiver power_on command.  But
TV.CDE doesn't have a mapping for PIP.  I suppose I could sample it, but I
have had bad luck with this. 

sonytv:vol+
{
receiver:vol+
}

Should be simple... but it just doesn't work right.  The volume control
barely moves.  If I add multiple receiver:vol+ commands, it moves slightly
more, slowly.  Add yet more and I crash CDJ (server busy error).

Same problem with vol-.

Hi Darren,

You can set up a mapping file to do this.  First load the device files for
the Sony TV remote and for the receiver S-link and then create an event map
from one code to the other.  Check out the help sections on device files and
command mapping for more details.
