The CD-i IR Set , how does it work?
The CD-i IR Set , how does it work?
I recently bought a 22ER9054 - CD-i IR Set without any CD-i Commander and on this page http://www.icdia.co.uk/accesories/point ... l#22er9055 it mentions that the CD-i Commander uses the RC6 standard, so that means other non-cdi remotes will work with it too?, i've tried a few remotes without any success:/
On the side of the IR box is a switch that says REL/ABS , are those two different IR systems?.

rel/abs sounds like 'relative/absolute'...I can make a guess: Perhaps it changes the way of measuring when there are, for example, a lot of incandescent lamps in the room, which can disturb the IR measuring. Switching to relative might do the trick. But that's a guess!
As far as I know the kit was indeed made specifically for the Commander for use with the 450 player, as these didn't have a IR sensor built in.

Yeah I think your right about that , makes sense.Bas wrote:rel/abs sounds like 'relative/absolute'...I can make a guess: Perhaps it changes the way of measuring when there are, for example, a lot of incandescent lamps in the room, which can disturb the IR measuring.

I'm gonna go digging for some RC6 remote controls and hope that they work, very interesting site on the subject: http://www.sbprojects.com/knowledge/ir/rc6.htm
I went ahead and bought the Logitech Harmony 300i and impressively enough it has a few cd-i models in it's database including the 450, sadly it doesn't seem to have the up,down,left,right settings in the database but currently I can pause/start/skip the waynes world 2 vcd using the harmony on the cd-i! .
