Hi. This is my first post, and I’m not sure which section to post in, so I’ll put it here and hope someone can answer.
I got a new remote, Humax RM-109U, to replace my old one because some of the buttons had stopped working. The new one was fine, apart from the Pause/Restart button which didn’t do anything. So, I got a replacement and it is exactly the same. So it’s either a big coincidence, or I’m doing something wrong! On the old one, which came with the box, there are separate buttons for pause and restart, but on the new one they share a button.
So, any advice please? Is it me doing something wrong, or a second faulty remote?
Thanks

Did you change the remote channel from the default of 1 on the original remote ?
Welcome to our forum.
Hi Graham, thanks for the reply, and the welcome. I haven’t changed anything, I just put batteries in and pointed it at the box! As I said, all the buttons work, apart from the pause button, which is also the restart button, which does work. I mean, if I press to rewind, the restart button works to make it play again from where I have gone back to. I just can’t pause anything.
Hope this makes sense.

I was asking if you changed the infra red mode on the original remote not the new one.
See
https://myhumax.org/forum/topic/multi-code-function-hdhdr-remote-1
I was asking because non genuine Humax remotes generally only have mode 1. If the box was setup previously to use other than mode 1 it might explain the issue.
Hi Graham
Thanks for the link, I have tried it but without success. I think it’s another faulty remote. I think I’ll have to try to get this one replaced as well.
I think that is very unlikely and the ‘fault’ lies elsewhere.
The box model that you are trying to control might also be useful info.
Do the non responsive commands work on your old remote.
Hi Trev, thanks for the reply. The old remote has several buttons which have ceased to work, but the pause button on that remote does still work. So, clearly it is the new remote(s) which are not commanding the box to pause. I have ordered another replacement, so I will see if that works.
Please look into the IR code change as indicated by GLT before you do.
As an alternative, just clean up the contacts on the old remote. (Free)
Thanks, I have done the code change thing with no effect. As to cleaning the contacts on the old remote, I have cleaned them externally as best I could (using a pin to scrape round each button) is there any other way to clean them that you know of?
Yes. You pry the two halves of the remote apart (it takes quite a bit of doing) then carefully clean the contacts on both the pcb and rubber diaphragm with alcohol or similar.
THanks for the advice Trev, it did take quite a bit of doing- sadly didn’t make any difference. Some buttons are still OK, others work with a bit of effort, some still don’t work at all. My next new remote should arrive next Tuesday, so fingers crossed that one works OK.
That’s a shame. Most people find a cleanup works.
I don’t suppose the buttons that don’t work on it are the same ones as don’t work on the new remotes are they.

Which Humax box do you have?
The RM109 U is for a Youview/Freeview box and has combined Play/Pause key.
The RM108 is for a Freesat box and has separate keys for Play and Pause.

Which Humax model do you have?
The RM-109U is for the Humax HDR-2000T, but all its buttons can also be used on the HDR-1800T. It is not possible to pause using the RM-109U remote on Humax PVRs that pre-date the HDR-2000T and HDR-1800T.
