Hi,

Well, just picked the wireless remote to power up the pj and found that the pj wasn't switching on when I pressed the power button. Tried the wired remote and the pj switched on just fine.

Press a few keys on the wireless reomte and the pj comes up with "projector 000 ON" (or OFF depending on what I'm doing). Pressed the # button but the projector said "Input Source 7" instead of displaying a test pattern - WTF??

So, the pj is seeing the wireless remote, its just not accepting its commands or more precisely it interprets them as something else! Tried Proj * etc, checked that pj was accepting commands from A in the remote setup but just can't seem to track down why the remote isn't doing what its supposed to.

Any ideas guys?

You did try putting in new battery's right ?

Yep, new batteries inserted, even reinitialised the pj, problem still there

Bloody annoying this is.

I had a similar problem a while back, but cannot remember the exact buttons that would not work. Replaced batteries with no luck. Re-attached the cable and it worked perfect.

In the end I replaced the IR sensor and all has been fine ever since.
I took off the red tube side panels and managed to replace the cable with the use of needlenose plyers.

I'll give that a try Jim, many thanks.

Paul I just had this happen to me with some one else CLM i had after I loaded my setting to it so i could do some work on it, well it didt work and I realized he uses a wired remote and had it set in the prefrences. so what you do is hit the * button and it will show you proj 001 off change it to on and your good to go.

Nah, just tried and it didn't work.

I'll try taking off the IR sensor lead later today and see if that resets it or something. Absolutely no idea how this happened, maybe I stood on the remote or something - very strange and very annoying!

There's a general fix that workd for some IR remotes.

Remove the batteries then proced to push each button on the remote one after the next. Replace the batteries and see if it works. I've "fixed" a cople of remotes that way.

THere's also two sets of remote codes. Jumper wires in the battery covers set the code used. Check the 'tips' section of the Marquee section, I think the details are there.

Some Marquee remotes have the buttons for later version ECP remotes as well, they are simply covered by a different plastic overlay. Choosing which remote it acts as is done with the jumpers found in the battery compartment. It could be this issue, perhaps its configured as a later version ECP remote via the jumpers?
The other two issues are also somewhat jumper related. Check through the Marquee documentation to find the remote setting pages and confirm your jumpers are set correctly, then confirm your remote is set to the correct protocol for your projector(either through jumper or keypad).

There are also remote specific changes made via keystroke on the remote that are actually stored in the remote itself, there is a button sequence to reset the remote to default values, I think its something like *, followed by "Detail" then arrow up or something like that. That too is detailed in the Marquee literature, I can't remember where though...sorry...

Thanks for all the great advice guys, there is plenty for me to try out. I'll get back as soon as I can with the results (busy with other things at the moment - fingers crossed!
