Just got a Topline 5 remote (URC-5550), just wondering if there's any info on what the JP1 jumpers in the battery compartment can be used for.

Any other details or info for this remote?

Thanks in advance!

Are they just empty holes in the circuit board,
or is there something, like pins, soldered into
them? On my Cinema 7 IQ there are just holes.

Regardless, assuming there are 6 of them, in a 3
by 2 arrangement, then the word on the street is
that they can only be used by the manufacturer to
upgrade or in other ways fiddle with the remote's
brain. I have not yet been convinced that they
can't be used for something more, but I'm not
going to use MY remote to experiment. :) I'll
leave that to more of a hardware techie, as my
area of expertise is software.

As for further details specifically about the
Topline 5, I haven't a clue, but maybe someone
else here is familiar with it...?

They're true jumpers - block of six in a 3 x 2 arrangement - labelled JP1

Then I suspect your remote is more upradable than
my Cinema 7 IQ.

As to what ELSE can be done with JP1, we won't
know until some hardware genius with a budget
figures it out for us.
