Yet another remote question from a newbie! - 02/06/03 09:34 PM
I've got a 1050 with a Sony DVD hooked up to it, along with a Proscan VCR, and an older-than-time-itself Toshiba TV.
The monitor out is passing thru a Radio Shack DVD converter box, so that I can plug into the TV-which only has co-ax as an input. This Radio Shack box has inputs from RCA, as well as co-ax and then has output to the TV thru co-ax. The device is a self sensing switch, basically. If it gets signal from the Outlaw, it will automatically turn on and send signal to the TV, which is then displayed on channel 3
So my question is this. If I want to have the remote control the TV volume, when not using the outlaw, but then the Stereo volume when playing DVD/VCR thru the Outlaw, how can I tell the remote that?
To put it another way, I only want the sound to go thru the outlaw when playing movies. Then when just watching cable I want it to come out of the TV. I have it setup this way now?it works just as I'd like...but I want to remote to work accordingly. So that when watching a DVD the remote will control the 1050 volume, and then when watching cable TV I just want it to control the TV volume.
Thanks guys, and I'm sure that this as been discussed ad-infintum...but I wanted to post it non the less, cause I couldn't find it using the search...

Why is there not a DVD button on the remote and how should I work around that?
