Would anyone have any documentation on this option ? I can't find anything
that describes it....sorry if I'm missing the obvious...

Thanks in advance....SLP

Hi,

I think it just changes a registry value (EnableDenonce)! It allows you to
control if MCE looks for a toggle bit between button presses on the remote

When MCE Remote is used normally it will send a toggle bit between each
button press(assuming you are pressing the same button twice), the toggle bit
is designed to stop the MCE from incorrectly receiving more than one button
press when the button has been pressed once.

If you wish to use a Universal remote to control your MCE Blaster and the
Universal remote was unable to learn the toggle bit your MCE would only
recognise the first button press

for example if you are trying to navigate the guide you would press DOWN
Button and the position in the guide would move once but if you pressed it
again the position would not move , but if you pressed left and then Down it
work.
