Hi guy and gals. I have got my RC9500 up and running now and have got all of my macros working fine except for one command. It is the power on command for the Panasonic TX32 PL1 televsion which is proving troublesome. It requires a fairly long button press for the tv to come on, about 2-3 seconds I think and this does not happen if I put the code into a macro.

Is there an easy way to extend the duration of the command by editing the actual hex code? I know that the new version of PPNG has the ability to specifiy the duration time for the command to be output but as yet Marantz have not updated the Wizzit 9 software to include this feature.

If I were to post the hex code I would like to extend would someone be able to extend the duration for me?

Here is the code I would like to extend the duration of should anyone care to take the time to do so. The code is actually for button '0' which acts as a discrete on command as opposed to the 'Power' button which is just a toggle. Many thanks in advance.

Please quit double posting. Post your question in one forum or the other, but not both.

See the NG forum (where this question should have been posted for my response).

Lyndel,
Most of the time I agree with you, and you know more about these remotes than I so I simply believe you, but why would a person automatically ask about how to change an IR code so that it will last longer in one forum or the other?

Wouldn't a hex change that makes a code last longer on one remote also work on another? Are all of the people who know how to do this somehow magically only looking at the NG forum?

Do the number buttons turn your TV on. My Panasonic TV can be turned on using these.
After a lot of playing around with codes and editing the solution that i now use is to incorperate two consecutive "1"'s into the macro to turn the TV on.
Obviously this also acts as a Discreet Power On which is better than the Power Button anyway.

Let me know if it works.

Have you looked for discreet codes. I have a Panasonic Plasma and I used the discreet codes on this site for On and Off and they don't need an extended press of the button were the normal power button does. Just one touch.

If you cross-post the same question on multiple forums on one site, or at forums on more than one website, you should always include a disclaimer "cross posted on XYZ" so that people can see whether it has been answered already. It is only common curtesy to do so. Otherwise, you should post it in one place at a time.

No, I look @ both forums but I answered the question in the NG forum first. And yes, I too am lazy and did not want to copy the same answer from one thread to another. Daniel's site "does" have limited hard disk space and my fingers "do" get tired.

Besides, this question has already been answered many, many times by John Fine.
