Hello:

I have recently purchased MX900 from the eBay and was able to do Live update of my MX editor. I have programmed my MX900 with other equipments like Sony TV, XBOX360 etc.. without any problem but I am getting problems with operating my AV receiver Pioneer VSX-1019AH.

I have following set up in my home theater:

Pioneer Receiver VSX-1019Ah
Epson 3010e projector
Apple tv
Western Digital Live Media Player
SONY 3d Blue ray player
LG blue ray player.

All equipments connected to my Pioneer receiver following way
Apple TV- HDMI2
Western Digital - HDMI3
SONY3d Blue ray - BD
LG Blue ray - BD

So I programmed Macro like when I select Apple TV, it will turn on Apple TV, Epson projector, Pioneer AV receiver. Everything fine so far and all turn on ok. But my Pioneer receiver is not going to or selecting HDMI2 for Apple TV. Same issue with when I select Western Digital.

Macro for Apple TV:
P-on - Epson
P-on - Apple TV
P-on Pioneer Receiver
Delay 3 sec
HDMI2- Pioneer Receiver
Go to pg1 - Apple TV ( so I can have all control of my apple TV)

I programmed Macro for my Sony TV with FIOS and my Sony Tv select correct HDMI inputs every time, while pressing FIOS for HDMI4 and pressing XBOX for HDMI2. So I programmed same way with my home theater but no luck

Macro for FIOS and XBOX 360
P-ON - FIOS
P-ON - Sony TV
delay 3 sec
HDMI4 - Sony TV ( i.e. for FIOS and HDMI 2 for XBOX360)
go to page 1 - FIOS

Can some one help me? Please let me know where I am doing a mistake.

Thanks in advance.

 If you unplug your hdmi devices, does it change to the proper input when you test the macro?  If so, then go into the setup on your devices that use hdmi, and look for a setting that will turn off HDMI control.  It may be turned on and interferring with your macros.

if the receiver still wont switch with hdmi devices unplugged, then you may need to find a better set of ir codes.

Thank You. I figured out the problem. There are three different types of Pioneer ir codes so I used all of them and than while selecting APPLE TV, I need to select "SAT" from the third Pioneer ir codes. Than, it goes into HDMI3. I do not know why but it is working.

I 've another question. As I have Fios (Motorola QIP7100-2) and DISH network (VIP222K) connected to my Sony TV via Monoprice HDMI 4x2 matrix switch. I 've connected my FIOS to HDMI2 (Input 2A) and DISH to HDMI1 (input 1A)But some I can not able to control monoprice Matrix switch. I tried learning the command from the monoprice matrix switch remote but no luck. When I run macro from the MX900, it does not go into correct input. I am not sure if it is due to both my receivers are always on that's why? When I turnoff the power of FIOS, it shows me"press menu to watch tv or turnoff TV". So I assume it is not completely off. And this is creating a problem for my Matrix switch to select the input. How do I solve this problem?

Also, How do I create a macro for selecting different options? Say I am watching FIOS and If I want to watch DISH than how do I create a macro? Currently, I managed to create a macro so I can switch the activity without turning off the TV. But some time due to matrix switch input selection TV is not selecting or displaying correct output.

How do I do this?

Thanks in advance.
