Ari Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Ok so got a Kameleon 6 all in one remote. Put the codes (listed in the instruction book) in for the TV (Panasonic), the video (JVC), the Freeview (Grundig) and they all work absolutely spot on. But it absolutely refuses to drive the (Panasonic) DVD player. It's a fairly common Panasonic SC-HT70 surround sound system, and the instruction book only lists one code for Panasonic DVD players. I've put that in but nothing, it just controls the volume on the TV instead of the DVD player. I've also tried searching for it on the controller. Basically you choose your device then scroll through all the codes in the unit till it responds. Nothing. I'm at a complete loss. I'd assume it was something I'd done wrong but for the fact I have the other three devices working perfectly. It's the same procedure for all, only difference being you choose the device on the control to correspond with the device you are trying to talk to. It's so frustrating cos other than the DVD player it's all working brilliantly. I've tried a search on Google without much luck, although to be fair I'm not too sure what I'm searching for so probably looking in the wrong places. Can anyone offer any suggestions? I'm at a complete loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Can you not just program it yourself? If its anything like the one i've got, theres a key sequence that makes it "read" the output from your remote, then it saves it against a key.

Ari Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I think you can, but it looks a fairly long winded tecnique, and I'm sure there must be a simple code or something to make it work. All the others worked fine and its not like the DVD player is an obscure make or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Dan Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Does the TV remote turn the hifi up and down as well - are they using the same code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrsaku Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Go on Ari don't be lazy, you can teach your remote using the original one. Have you checked the Oneforall website for codes? By the way is it the second generation 6 in 1? if it is Hmmm ....nice. I want one too. Maybe i will get one when i sell my camcorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Not got a hi fi downstairs, just TV, DVD surround sound (which plays CD's of course and has a tuner so works as a hi fi), VCR and Freeview box. As I say, all working prefectly except the flippin Panasonc DVD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotdog Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I bought a Cambridge all in one remote some time back. With this you had to program each button individually. Took me hours, only to find out that it hadn't accepted codes from the set top box, so I had to return it and reprogramme the new one all over again Is yours new? I'd return it and get another one if so. If the fault comes up again, perhaps the codes are wrong?? mAy be worth a call to the manufacturer as you're relying on them programming it correctly in the first place?

Ari Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Code on the site is same as book, 1490. I enter it, then press power to turn DVD player on, player ignores it and the TV turns on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrsaku Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Yes it is the second gen, first one looked good but i hated the fact that it felt as it had a plastic cover on top of the buttons which wasn't fitted properly. These one are selling for £39 of Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I see there is a charger/stand for it for £29-99. Might get that if I can get the flippin thing to work with the DVD player!!! Sooo frustrating cos everything else works so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danksy Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Try some other panasonic codes matey otherwise try kameleon tech support ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Thats the only one they give for a Panasonic DVD player. Found another on their web site but that didn't work either. I've emailed them. I wonder if it's cos its a surround sound jobby not just normal DVD player, so it's got volume control etc which a normal DVD player wouldn't have. PITA if it won't work properly with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Well I can't believe that none of you IT/AV experts have been able to come up with a solution for this one! No answer from All-For-One either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I must admit when the guy from All-In-One delivered those things he had to phone someone to back at the office at one point when he got confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrsaku Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 It's your fault for picking up such a rare unit, Panasonic my a****e. Go and get a proper Denon stuff and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ari Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Sorted. (98% anyway). Basically they asked me to press a sequence of buttons, then they played a tone burst down the line (like a fax noise) which updates the software! Then tap the code in and it works. Only thing is that the DVD functions are only the normal player ones of menu search, play, pause, etc. No volume as of course a normal DVD player doesn't have that facility (mine does as surround sound). So they programed the volume adjust into the Amp control function. So now I touch Amp and then have volume control over the DVD. The only function it doesn't control on the DVD is on/off, oddly. But as I always turn the TV off on the set (rather than leaving it on standby on the remote) it's no hardship to flick the DVD on (or off) at the same time.

Ari Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Yep, well happy. And it looks so much tidier without four plastic remote controls of differing types and colours cluttering the lounge up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
