Its a new receiver & new tv so I'm in the process of getting everything setup & so far, so good.....the 600 remote "talks" to the tv; both the mute & volume, up & down, work fine....
My question is:
When I want to turn everything off, I use the power button on the 600 remote to power off both the receiver & the tv....the receiver turns off & the tv "turns off", but only to a "sleep" mode, rather than turning right off....tech support at SD told me that it was supposed to work that way, so the tv is always ready to be turned on.....
Does that sound right?.....other than using the tv remote to turn it right off, is there a setting that I haven't found yet that will let me use the 600 remote to turn the tv right off?.....
Remote Programming for a Samsung Sound Bar / TV Combo
I have a Samsung Series 4 Plasma TV - Model # PN42C450B1DXZA combined with a Samsung Crystal Surround Air Track sound bar Model # HW-E450C. I am running a Shaw DSR 505 HD receiver with an IRC 550 remote. The soundbar is connected to the Shaw receiver with an optical cable. Sound connection was easy and sounds decent for an entry level sound bar with Bluetooth sub. The Shaw remote always controlled the Samsung TV but I need to also control the Samsung soundbar. I searched Digital Home for remote programming information but could not find anything for this older Shaw unit to control the soundbar. Would anyone have the programming code for this remote that would sync the IRC 550 remote to this setup. If a code does not exist would automatic remote programming work? If neither of these options are available is an updated Shaw remote the solution or a Logitech Harmony remote or is there a cheap 3rd party remote that would work for both the Shaw receiver and the Samsung TV/Bar combo available? Having to use 2 remotes right now which is not making the wife happy
There is no "automatic remote programming". There is code search which scans codes built into the remote. YMMV with that, since that is an older remote and newer hardware (a class that never existed the 8+ years ago that remote was made).
You likely would not get a good and cheap remote, at least with some compromising.
I personally love the Harmony remotes, well worth the money. You may have problems with a new shaw remote also, i find its hit or miss most of the time.
We have a 630 and a 530. The 530 is kept plugged in as a back-up in case the 630 claps out. We recently had a new LNB installed to accept the new HD channels. I recently found that the 530 no longer worked so phoned Shaw and they gave the 530 a factory reset and fixed the problem. Problem now is that the remote turns both receivers on and off at the same time. I tried many times to change the address number on the 530 from 0000 to 0001 and also 0004. Nothing worked. I hold down the sat button until the flashing, then punch in the new number and then hit enter. Can anyone be so kind enough to advise me what I am doing wrong - Thanks
just in case....
make sure the 630 is powered off or unplugged.
Depending on the remote, it may be 002, 003 etc.
You should get a quick flash or 2 back on the remote when you successfully enter a new code.
Thank you kindly for your response SMP01. I finally got it right although I do not know what I did different. I did the same as before as far as I am concerned. The only difference I can see is that I was getting exasperated by it and pressed all the numbers and the enter button much harder. May have been a week button on the control.
Leesnurg, I've never used Star Choice/ShawDirect, but I think most universal remotes are compatible with Star Choice. One thing to watch out for is that not all remotes support every button even if they say that they support Star Choice.
If you decide to try a universal remote, make sure you can return it if it's not fully compatible.
Shaw Direct IR/RF 600 to Talk to Sony 3d flat screen
Hi all,
New KDL50R550A 3d tv! Trying to get the Shawdirect remote (IR/RF 600) to control on/off and volume.
Only one code (020) will turn it off but it seems that no other code will turn it back on. I've tried direct entry of codes and the 'point and press' scan method.
I have 2 630s with their original remotes. Each remote has lost some keys functions. They remain operational but the keys for playing recordings no longer work.
I have tried changing the batteries without success. Does Shaw Direct have a remote exchange program?
Any other ideas? I have a universal remote but I am using the FM version for both so it is of limited usefulness.
^^ I open up the remotes every 8 months or so and use rubbing alcohol to clean the circuit board and also under the rubber keypad. It makes it work like new again. You wouldn't believe the oil from our skin that collects under the rubber keypad over time. Good luck. The are only two screws located under the batteries that need to be removed first, before you pry the two plastic pieces apart.
Is there a secret to getting the 2 pieces to start coming apart. I am trying and it is stuck tight! I have gone over the whole seam with an Exacto knife but have not found a suitable prying spot yet. I assume the bottom is where I start?
Most remotes have plastic clips holding them together, although I've never had a Shaw Direct remote. You will probably need something stronger than an Exacto knife - a small flat screwdriver or a kitchen knife.
The Yamaha RX-V630 I was given is about 10 years old - before HDMI - only composite, component and S-video ins and outs. Perfect for what I need. So it should have been on the list, but isn't. I'm going to have to scan. I tried that once and the RX turned off but it was after 100s of button presses and I messed up the save sequence so I lost the code. I haven't had the energy to try it again.
Also note that a lot of the Yamaha AVRs have discrete codes for on and off, therefore most provider remotes will either turn the AVR on or off, but not both by the single power button.
If the SD remote allows for it, try to scan all the remote codes. Usually you can get the volume control to work, but on and off will not for most Yamaha AVRs
Trying to program my remote. For our PVR.
The manual says to press and hold the TV button until it flashes at least twice.
Well, I hold it for upto 3 mins, and no flashing.
Am I missing something?
