I can think of two approaches that might yield more useful information: a) "can the DVP-CX850D operate as a slave to another changer with mega-control, or can one DVP-CX850D control a second DVP-CX850D as a slave unit?" That should establish whether it's send-only (i.e. master only) or able to receive commands, too (operate as a slave). If it's the latter, some degree of control from Slink-e should be possible. b) "is the DVP-CX850D compatible with the two-way IR remote & IA-10 IR transceiver that came with the CDP-CX260 and CDP-CX88ES CD Megachangers?" The IA-10 is that box that seems to bridge the two-way IR protocol to Control-A1, to provide the title information on the two-way remote. If that works, Slink-e should, too. I wish Sony would improve in providing product information to their customers, both before and after the sale. Frankly, they suck at it. The website is just a tease, and calling them is an exercise in frustration. For large purchases, I'll often have to resort to ordering the user's guide and service manual to get the info I'm looking for. The user's guide should be enough, but we've all seen Sony's user's guides...

Hello = all:

 

=

I = use a slink-e to run my home audio system.  The master audio signal is piped into four rooms, each room with = its own IR port and volume control.  = I have set up multiple identical “universal remotes” to control = CDJ from each room (mostly to control basic functions such as play, stop, cue up stored = playlists, etc.).

 

=

Everything works great!

 

=

The one thing that I would like to add is the ability to use that same remote to turn = on and off the audio in each room.  Currently, I have a manual switchbox in the family room (next to = the receiver) that can turn on or off the audio signal each of the four = rooms.  (Some rooms have manual = override for local sources such as TVs.)

 

=

Here’s a good example of why I want this ripped from my life as it was just half an = hour ago.  I had returned from = my workout.  I wanted to = take a shower.  From the master = bedroom, I cue up a CD to play it.  = Problem is: Laurie is down in the family room on the phone and all of a sudden = I’m blaring music at her as well.  = So I have to go downstairs and manually turn off all but the master bedroom/bathroom.

 

=

I’d like to be able to do this from the bedroom.=

 

=

Any = ideas?

The install prog works for NT but trashes some 98 users... Obviously it is a dll version issue, but which one(s)?? If anyone wants to try their hand at it they are more than welcome - I will send you what I have. I will have another go at it in a couple of days.

You can use CDJ's automation features to do this. I've thought about it, but haven't done it yet. If you've got a useable read-map for the remote (I'm not sure what the correct lingo is, but apparently there is more to receiving IR signals than there is to spitting them out again. EZlearn can make control files to send IR, but not to recognize it.) then you can create CDJ devices that all use the same remote definition but listen to different rooms. You can then map arbitrary commands to each of the remotes codes for each of the rooms.
