Looking at the TN-65W70AGZ it’s a new model not in the database but as all the Panasonics I have had have used the same codes, you should be able to download a random model’s database that includes the separate codes and use that to control your TV. Or if your Harmony still works you could try and learn them from that.

Just to check you are using the remote and not the app on a phone, the app does not do press and hold, “ramping” as you call it. If it is not working in Devises Mode it has nothing to do with the Long Press Feature as that only works in Activities. Did you try the AVR-S670H code base (I know you have a S570BT but it should work)? When you press and hold the volume button does the green light on the hub flash continuously or just once? And as an explanation the “Long Press Feature” allows each button to have 2 functions in Activities. So my 3 bars button in the PVR Activity is Short Press for Guide and Long Press for Recordings List and it can be for any devise in the Activity so my Short Press of Mute mute’s the Denon and Long Press of Mute cycles the TV Picture Modes. When this feature is used the button loses Press and Hold (ramping) functionality so is best not used on Volume and the Direction Arrows. And don’t worry “ramping” does work on the remote so it’s just a case of working out why yours isn’t.

The Long Press function can be a little confusing, and to explain. It is a separate feature that allows you to have twice the button count so for example my Long Press of Mute is set to bring up TV Picture Modes. It should not be set for what I call Press and Hold of a button, so the correct configuration for the volume buttons is “Short Press: Volume_xx(Denon)” and “Long Press: Not Configured”. When set to “Not Configured” the Long Press Feature is not used and pressing and holding the button works like a normal remote.

The AVR S570BT code base is one of many Denon codes that the Volume is slow and as all models (I say all but its all the ones I have tried) use the same IR codes try the AVR-S670H code base (I’ve tested this one and it works as it should). As its close to your model all the features yours has should be listed (if not try another). Delete the macro you have for Long Press Volume. In an Activity Volume should be “Short Press: Volume_xx(Denon)” and “Long Press: Not Configured”.

They are on their way out to reviewers and expect reviews from 17 Oct. Think I saw somewhere a release date of 25 Oct mentioned but that may be wrong and no price as yet.

Re Denon Volume - This has come up before and from memory its down to some of the code bases being wrong. My X3800 works fine but I was able to reproduce the slow volume using a different code set. Try downloading the X3800 set and try it, the volume buttons (and most, if not all the other buttons) should be the same code.

Assuming you mean press the ball again to send the start Activity again this can never happen as this will mean some Devises in the Activity will be out of sync. Also pressing it when in an Activity already has a function, saved Favourites and Macros come up on screen, if nothing happens you don't have any yet. The best way to solve your problem is to allocate a spare button, long press or create a Favourite within the Activity for the Power Button of the projector then when it goes to sleep just press this to wake it up.

If you want the Activity to always start on the same channel you can add the Macro (explained below) to the Startup Settings of the Activity. Assuming the box normally starts where you just key in a channel number.

The X1 and X1s do have Macros. To create one press Edit and select the Activity you wish to add one too, press Favorites then Add Macro Keys.

Just thought as you don't mention it, you are using the Remote and not the app? The app does not function the same way.
