Hi there,

I can eject the tray with the eject button no problem.  It only come out
and then press again to put it back in.

What I think is happening is that the eject command is being sent and
then the macro is sending a play command.  If the DVD receives a play
command with the tray open, then I guess it will close the tray first.

But I can't find anywhere in the macro where the play command is being
sent.

Cheers

Try pressing the DVD Eject button in Device mode and see if it gives
you the same open and close tray experience.

If it does, then your IR is probbably over firing. You can set up
the IR firing lengths and inter-device delays per device.

Also, double check your start up macros for 'Watch DVD' and ensure
that any extra commands aren't being sent.

Hope this helps.
