hello all,
I am in the market for a universal remote and i like the phillips pronto line of remotes. before i buy any remote i was wondering if certain things are possible:
i obviously want to have one button control like "watch tv", etc, but is it possible to change settings on equipment? For example, I like to listen to the tv through my rotel receiver, but I also like to simply listen through the tv, but this requires me to change the audio setting on my scientific Atlanta hddvr (only if I want to listen in digital format through the receiver). So, are there remote codes to change from/to Dolby digital and hdmi on the dvr (for example)? Or do I have program in the motions that I would normally do on the remote for the dvr (i.e., hit menu twice, then down arrow, then right arrow and then up or down depending on if I want hdmi or dolby digital)? I also would like to be able to change audio settings on my ps3. I’ve seen the Bluetooth to IR converters for sale. Do some allow this?
I may be making this difficult….im open to suggestions if there are easier ways to allow this type of one button control.
