My RT8 showed up but I'm not having any luck. I don't know if my unit is simply DOA or what. I took one of the IR Emitters I bought with it, cut the mini-plug end off with about 2' of cable. I then stripped the ends, tinned them with solder (REALLY fine wire) and plugged the mini-plug into one of the outputs on the RFX9400 and ran it into the IR in on the RT8. I hooked up the emitter to one of the outputs, plugged in the RT8 and got nothing. I used the codes I found in the Philips Database for the RT8.

What concerns me and makes me wonder if the unit was simply DOA is that the IR In light on the RT8 never flashes other than when I first plug the power supply in. I did remove the grounding jumper, but that made no difference.

I have the code set that I downloaded from this site at the link you gave above, but honestly have forgotten how to load the suckers in. :-\ I'm going to figure that out and give those codes a try next.

Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated. :-)

A little nuts, but I'm single so I can usually get away with it.
