[note: that should read 510 in the subject, not 508. doesn't look like i can edit the subject after posting. sorry!]

I imagine this has been covered, but I couldn't bring any info up re: this topic with a search.

Within the last month or so, my discrete on in my remote control macros hasn't been working for my 508. I imagine that a software update did the damage, but was wondering if anyone's found a way to get discrete on/off to work reliably.

If the unit is off for more than 15 minutes or so, it ignores an "ON", but turns ON with a discrete OFF command. A "toggle" code always works as expected. Once the 510 has been "woken up", the on/off commands work as expected.
