The X5 came with a 4Geek remote control. I am integrating all remotes (receiver, projector, BD, X5) into a single Logitech Harmony 650. I ws able to load all my gear profiles into it except the Measy X5. Seems like Logitech does not know yet this particullar Measy model. Would anyone know what a compatible device would be whose profile I can use?
Seems like no one here has encountered my predicament so let me report what I did: I taught my Harmony 650 manually.
It was a looong process cliking each button on the NMT's remote while collinear with the Harmony's receiving end and storing in the Logitech website. But the job got done.
Next, I installed a NextGen Remote Control Extender. All my devices were in a rack behind the viewing sofa so I wanted to click on the remote without having to turn around while viewing.
Problem: All devices seem to be controlled by the Harmony except for the X5.
Mulled over this for a day and googled some sites. Some sites recommended that the transmitter-battery should be installed in the right side of the battery compartment of the Harmony 650 (not the left). I also made use of the special (included) "eye" and affixed it into the X5's infrared spot so that it has its own infrared transmitter dead-on.
This worked.
Still a few quirks but generally working OK. Nothing that, I'm sure, time and tinkering will fix.
Hope this bit of info helps someone out there planning on a similar setup.
FYI, my gear are:
Measy X5 Media Player
Sony BDP-S5100 BluRay Player
Sony STR-DH520 Receiver
Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 3020 Projector
Projector projects into a 108" screen (can't recall brand).
Speakers are my ancient Bose 5.1 system. I seem to hear the subwoofer popping occasionally. Seems like my amp is driving it too hard or the speaker is already damaged. Anyone know how to diagnose and fix this?
