what other things did you 'twidle' with?? I'm not using IR, so I'm safe there.
I had to change the number of repeats lower because when I was hitting the volume button I was going 2 or 3 db at a crack, and I messed with a few of the other timing settings I don't recall.
I was trying to also speed things up by telling it I did not want to send the "pwr toggle" command as part of the activity, but couldn't figure that out. There is like a 5 second delay when powering up because you have to wait for it to send the "pwrtoggle" command, then the timeout, then select an input - which is what powers up the receiver.
Otherwise I have it working great.
