Yes.  Right now, I have the capability of sending VCR:Power from ECS to the
VCR.  ECS does not know the current state of the VCR, it just sends the
power command - toggling On/Off.  A discrete On command would send the On
command ONLY - ie it would have no affect if the VCR power was already on.
Suppose you want ECS to record a show, but someone left the VCR off.  It
won't record, because the VCR:Record will have no affect on the VCR.

I know there are discrete signals that can be sent to TVs, VCRs, etc.  For
example, check out
http://www.remotecentral.com/files/i-pan.htm
These codes are for the Marantz Pronto remote.  I was wondering if there are
similar codes we code program into ECS....

I hope I didn't make it sound too confusing  ;-)

A.J.:

Could you explain what you mean by discrete?
