Harmony remote SLOW to control volume on receiver

[QueBert]

For everything else the remote is fine, but it takes a good 15-20 seconds to go from no volume to where it's audiable. With the Denon remote it takes about 2 seconds. I googled this and found a few people with Harmon One remotes and different denon models that had the same problem.

I believe the Denon is a 1708, it's not where I'm at so I can't double check. The guy has no computer or internet so I'm trying to program it at my place and not have to take it back home when it doesn't work right to program again. Any other model #'s I can use to fix this? The stuff I said said lowering the input settings for the device on the remote won't help. I did try just in case, I won't be going to his house until later tonight and would like to get an opinion of somebody here.

thanks

set the inter-key delay to 0ms. It may help some. I've noticed that my Harmony (659 and 880) are a little slow with receiver volume (Onkyo and Sony)

What he said!

My 880 and 550 has the same issue and take some tweaking to work with my recievers.

humm it's gonna take a lot of tweeking, from no volume to start I could probably hold the volume button for a minute straight and it still wouldn't be too loud. UGH this is crappy

Does holding down the up-volume button make it go any faster? When I do that with my Harmony 688, the volume on my Panasonic receiver goes up really quickly.

holding it down might actually make it slower, with the Denon remote we can go from silent to wall rattling in about 5 seconds, with the Harmony in 5 seconds it'll go from silent to silent

the remote (880) is pretty good besides that though, although I DO HATE the fact you have to hook it up the PC to program it. I drove from my house to his only to realize I had the DVD set to HDMI 2 and it was on HDMI 1. So I had to drive 11 miles back home to fix that one lil thing, oh well...

If your friend doesn't have internet, he never should have bought a Harmony remote. There are others that are more complex to program, but don't require an internet connection.

I haven't noticed any issues with controlling volume using my H1 and Sony receiver.
