Sorry, I need ideas, so this is crossposted at RC:
Hi All
Any ideas on the following problem would be appreciated:
RTI remote does not control the DCT, but only in one zone.
Details: Elan S12, Motorola cable box, RTI T2+, Elan Z100 keypad w/remote IR receiver (either Elan, Speakercraft, or Niles eye).
Every other zone in the house works properly. The RTI is 'universal' - it is programmed, and works the same in every room as the TV's are the same. In the troublesome zone, all other functions work properly (DVD, volume, CD, etc). It is only the combination of trying to use any DCT IR codes that do not work thru this remote mounted receiver. The only common (or uncommon, if you will) denominator is that this is the only zone to use a remote IR receiver that is not directly connected to the Z100 - the splice is done remotely, on the BIX connection panel. In theory, this shouldn't make a difference as other codes pass through perfectly.
Edit: We have tried a different receiver, different IR frequencies, different light conditions, different angles, etc...
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance
Dieter
