The JP1 interface is compatible with only certain universal remote controls.
The JP1 interface allows you to connect a universal remote control to your Windows-based personal computer. You can also use it to create backups of your remote's configurations, to add coding to a remote, or to program your remote. To use this interface, however, you must have a compatible remote, and there are only a few remotes that work with this service.
