How to set xr2 remote to "volume lock to TV input"?

Prior to having X1 system, the old "silver with red ok button" remote could be programmed with : VOLUME LOCK
Once you program your remote control       
for your TV, the volume buttons will control
the volume on your TV, regardless of which
mode the remote is in (AUX, TV, or Cable).  
To set your remote to control the volume      
of another device, follow the steps below. The above is straight from the "silver with red ok button" remote manual pdf.This was useful because many HT receivers and HDTV pairings over HDMI have ARC (audio return channel).  When that is enabled, as you change TV volume your tv volume indicator will show up on the tv screen so you know what it's doing -- but the TV is actually sending the commands the HT receiver that's sitting in a cabinet where you can't see it (nor can you see the readout on the HT receiver display from 30ft away).  Now that I have the X1 system and XR2 remote, I can't find an option to lock the volume to the TV when I've paired it with an audio system.  Is there a hidden way to lock the volume buttons to the TV?  This isn't a deal breaker - but is very, very nice to have.

The X1 remotes will "pair" the volume control to either the TV or AVR both not both at the same time. It is one or the the other.
Be careful with X1 boxes and ARC. X1 boxes have very questionable HDMI support and ARC has been questionable. I would avoid using ARC with X1 boxes.
Why don't you stop at a Comcast store and pick up an XR5 or XR11 remote? They are much better than the ZR2 and Comcast locations give them away for free.

  • Creative Zen Vision 30GB - How to set IR Remote ON with Navigation keys not working in the play

    I have Creative Zen Vision 30GB player. Within a month of buying, its navigation keys stopped working. I took it to the customer service of store where I bought it and they fixed it (their solution was to make firmware update, even though I do not understand how come that can fix this issue). Anyways after another 5 months of not so often use, the same problem returned (key pad stopped working and without it this player is useless). I sent it to Creative and they returned it saying that as it has few scratches on the edges, they believe it has been hit. I never dropped the player and these are normal scratches at the end if you do not use any skin (which I could never find for this player). Btw from my other friend's experiences, Creative always does like this, never considered warranty (so beware!). Anyways now the problem is that I have IR remote for Zen vision but it can not work till IR Remote setting in System->Player Settings is switched ON. And this can not be done as the navigation keys are not working. So please please suggest me some other way if anybody of you know to enable this setting through software. Otherwise this costly player is just a 30GB harddisk for me

    Just wanted to mention - I bought the IR Remote thinking to make the player useful without navigation keys. Now I feel like I wasted more money instead of shifting to some other player by some other company with better customer service.

  • How to set up remote access on wvc80n without using TZO

    Just purchased the WVC80N, but how do you set it up for remote access without using TZO?  I can not get TZO to work w/ my Uverse 2wire 3800-hgv-b router.  Please help as the uverse customer support has not been helpful with port forwarding either.

    Hi, I'm a newbie at this, so pls be patient with my terminology...  I want to install 2 or 3 of these cameras in my mother's home, and I will have AT&T DSL service (one dynamic IP address) there with only a modem/wireless router.  I want to access the cameras from my laptop or from my Blackberry Tour when I am traveling.  Also want to allow access for my other relatives.  I do not have another home computer to serve as a WHS, and my laptop is obviously not connected to the internet all of the time.  Can I use the DDNS setup with DynDNS to provide access?  The instructions that I read seemed to imply that I needed a WHS in order to forward ports, etc.  Thanks in advance for your help..

  • How to set speaker and headphone volume together T540p

    My new Thinkpoad sets the headphone and speaker volume separately. I am always adjusting as I use headphones and speakers at different times frequently.
    I would lke the volumes to be synchronized and change both together using the volume key.
    Can this be set?
    thanks all

    Only if you?switch to?Audio Creation, open the mode console, set the speakers as 4.0 and in the 'Multi-Channel Wave' tab enable the bus routing for Fronts and Rears in the 'Wave' column. The downside is that this will disable EAX 4/5. BTW it's better to plug the headphones in the line-out (especially if the hp are low-impedance), the opamp driving the line-out has more output current headroom.

  • How to set up remote access to my old Powerbook?

    Hello.
    I would like to access some files from my old Powerbook from my new Macbook, as I always forget files I wind up needing later (I just recently bought the Macbook) , and don;t want to load everythign which was on my Powerbbok onto my new computer. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Start up the powerbook and immediately hold down the T key, until you see the Firewire logo moving on the screen. This will place your powerbook in "Target Disk Mode". Using a firewire cable plug the powerbook into the Macbook, the powerbooks disk will then mount on the Macbooks desktop and you can copy any files you want across.
    Hope this helps.

    To change the Windows lock screen we can use this API:
    LockScreen class with set image methods.
    To change the desktop background, it is not possible as I know.

  • How to set up password to lock Time Machine files?

    Hello Friends at Apple Community,
    I would like to know how to set up a password to lock Time Machine backup files as it is in Drobo backup server. I have two Time Machine backups for Mac Pro - first backup performed and saved backup created by Time Machine in one of hard drives inside Mac Pro. I am also performing other Time Machine backup externally to Drobo - just to play it safe. But want to set up a lock password on that backup file only for Drobo. I believe the OS X Mountain Lion version 10.8.4. at the moment. I am aware that there is a small update of 10.8.5 as I havent updated it yet... until Time Machine backup is done successfully.
    Please advise. Thanks in advance!

  • I am trying to connect my new iMac to my Buffalo router.  I forgot my router password, so I reset it and it is working.  I can't figure out how to reset my router password and lock it on my iMac.

    I am connecting my new iMac to my Buffalo router.  I forgot my router password so I pushed the reset button and my computer was able to connect.  The problem is, I can't figure out how to set my new password and lock the router.  I went to the Buffalo website and downloaded the CD, as I can't find that either.  I can't open any of it because it says it is Windows and can't open it.  I am new to Apple!

    Ah, new to routers too.
    Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
    To explain everything would require writing a book here.
    But this is what you want basically.
    Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
    1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
    (guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
    2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
    3: Guest access on devices and computers only.  Passwords written down and stored.
    4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
    If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
    What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
    Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

  • Set specific rows in ALV grid ready for input

    Hi everyone,
      I have a question about how to set specific rows in ALV grid ready for input.
      I know that I can make some columns ready for input before the ALV displayed,but I have no idea how to make specific rows displayed in the ALV ready for input.

    Hello Aaron
    For editable columns we can use the fieldcatalog (LVC_S_FCAT-EDIT = 'X') but for rows you need to define editability on cell level.
    The required steps are documented in sample report BCALV_EDIT_02. Below I point out a few crucial points:
    *§1.Extend your output table for a field, e.g., CELLTAB, that holds
    *   information about the edit status of each cell for the
    *   corresponding row (the table type is SORTED!).
    DATA: BEGIN OF gt_outtab occurs 0.  "with header line
            include structure sflight.
    DATA: celltab type LVC_T_STYL.
    DATA: END OF gt_outtab.
    *§3.Provide the fieldname of the celltab field by using field
    *   STYLEFNAME of the layout structure.
       gs_layout-stylefname = 'CELLTAB'.
       CALL METHOD grid1->set_table_for_first_display
             EXPORTING i_structure_name = 'SFLIGHT'
                       is_layout        = gs_layout
             CHANGING  it_outtab        = gt_outtab[].
    Note: in the sample report only field SEATSMAX is editable. In your case you need
    to fill CELLTAB for all fields in a row.
    *§2.After selecting data, set edit status for each row in a loop
    *   according to field SEATSMAX.
      LOOP AT gt_outtab.
        l_index = sy-tabix.
        refresh lt_celltab.
        if gt_outtab-seatsmax ge 300.
            perform fill_celltab using 'RW'
                                 changing lt_celltab.
        else.
            perform fill_celltab using 'RO'
                                 changing lt_celltab.
        endif.
    *§2c.Copy your celltab to the celltab of the current row of gt_outtab.
        INSERT LINES OF lt_celltab INTO TABLE gt_outtab-celltab.
        MODIFY gt_outtab INDEX l_index.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDFORM.                               " SELECT_DATA_AND_INIT_STYLE
    NOTE: LVC_T_STYL is a SORTED table type. Thus, take care that you are using the
    INSERT ... INTO TABLE statement and not APPEND (because then nothing is appended
    to the CELLTAB itab).
      IF p_mode EQ 'RW'.
    *§2a.Use attribute CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>MC_STYLE_ENABLED to set a cell
    *    to status "editable".
        l_mode = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_enabled.
      ELSE. "p_mode eq 'RO'
    *§2b.Use attribute CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>MC_STYLE_DISABLED to set a cell
    *    to status "non-editable".
        l_mode = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_disabled.
      ENDIF.
      ls_celltab-fieldname = 'SEATSMAX'.
      ls_celltab-style = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_disabled.
      INSERT ls_celltab INTO TABLE pt_celltab.

  • How to set ACLs on Remote MAC server Volumes..

    Hi,
    I have Mac OS X server v 10.5 Leopard. Initially I have enabled the ACLs using fsaclctl on the MAC server volume. When this volume gets mounted(through afp) on some other MAC client(MAC OS X 10.4 Tiger), the ACL status is shown as disabled. And it not allowing to set the ACLs on the remote volume from the client side.
    I have used the following command to enable ACLs from Client.
    sudo fsaclctl -p /Volumes/<server Volume> -e
    This failed as "not supported".
    Anyone knows how to set the ACLs on the remote MAC server volumes? Basically I want to see ACL working on Remote MAC server volumes.

    Hi
    +". . . remote MAC server volumes . . ."+
    Are you saying you are trying to enable ACLs on volumes shared by another OSX Server when volumes are mounted on the server in question?
    Or are saying you can't see if ACLs on mounted volumes when issuing ls -lae for example?
