In extremely rare        circumstances (with &quot;marginal&quot; remotes, interfaces, and/or parallel ports) the interface test fails but the interface will still work. The       AutoCheck menu item allows users with this problem to disable the automatic test.

Most users should leave it set to AutoCheck.. However, if you have a remote, such as the URC-9960 or the URC-8060, that has a 4k EEPROM installed and the Auto Detect mode cannot handle it properly (the most common symptom is that the data is wrapped around causing the &quot;no data in signature&quot; message), then select &quot;Force &gt;= 4k&quot; and try to download</td>

      <td> 
The normal operation of the radio buttons on the Add/Edit dialog box for learned signals is, with one exception, passive. You paste, or otherwise enter, the signal data and select UEI Learned or Pronto format independently. The format choice simply tells IR.exe how to interpret the data when you press the OK button. The new option Active Pronto Switch on the Advanced menu changes the radio buttons to an active mode. In that mode you need to select the format before you enter or edit the signal data. Switching the radio buttons to the other format will convert the display in the data window to the new format. You can therefore convert the data between formats without needing to accept it with the OK button. The one exception in normal operation is when you press Edit for an existing learned signal but have not yet actually edited it. The buttons are active until you actually make an edit. This enables you to switch to, and display, the Pronto format of the existing signal without needing to turn on Active Pronto Switch.
