I have just had digital cable installed. The system is very new and still needs to be improved but is showing good prospects. The problem is that I cannot get my RC5000 to learn any of the controls from the Pace remote. The other problem is that my X-10 pyramids that send the remote signal from one room to the other also doesn't seem to recognise the remote signal. I am sure that this is a problem with frequecy range but I wondered if there is a solution.

Hi,

I had bought a Harman/Kardon remote, with the same results. The Pace receiver transmits on a v.quick frequency jumping band. the H/K had to be taken back for this reason. I believe the PAce is simialar to the Bang Oulsen equipment (which also has problems). I thought it might be possible to code the RC5000 by editing the text ini file with the frequency information (not throught the software). There was a piece on here about this some time back - Summer 99). Could you let me know if you have any luck, as I also want to buy a RC5000 and control my C&W Digital box.

Cheers

It seems some of the latest Pace devices use PCM (pulse code modulation) IR transmission, which is not compatible with most (any?) learning remote out there. I hear companies are trying to work on a fix, however I haven't seen anything yet. B&O is a tough to learn mostly because it's high frequency.

Does anyone know of a remote sender like the x-10 pyramids for PCM IR transmissions.

I believe the protocol is based on IrdA.
