This is going to sound weird, but the TSU6000 will perform the timer and macro on the Sony perfectly, every time, only when the screen is on.
When the screen is off, it absolutely won't work.
Is there a code that I can add to the macro to turn on the screen right before the timer activates?
I could then install this code at the beginning of the macro, followed by the power on command for the Sony, and then switching to the proper input, such as iPod.
Thanks for the link,Lyndel.
After fumbling with Pronto Edit, here's the Sony Power On code:
