JP1 Remotes

so that you'd know (without having to do lots of experiments) that, say, under setup code 1463, EFC 00123, is bound to key "1", and generates OBC 71. (I'm making up numbers here.) Given that you can't do that, I am even more impressed!
Just for clarification sake, EFCs are used as a method to ...

I'd say you (collectively) are doing a very good job of putting this place together -- I can appreciate all the effort that you've all had to go through to collect all the information that is here -- probably never with any especial expectation to get it into a completely organized form.

No, I ...

Ah, more secret knowledge (the Sony IR codes list) -- this is as bad as the Gnostics! :) Yet one more, I hope, quick question -- other than getting a cable and downloading it from the remote, is there any way to populate RM with the codes/functions/button assignments etc that come built-in to my ...

My intelligence can probably handle anything -- the question is whether my persistence can! While I still might want to explore getting my TV's to dance a jig (I'd like to find discretes for all the input selections and zooms), right now I'm more focussed on the DVD players. Both are Sony's, a few ...

Okay, test time to see if you understand the process. Let's pretend you purchased a brand new 37" Hanseatic Television model# CTV 7037. How would you add the " Hanseatic CTV 7037 " upgrade into your remote?

LOL! The machine that I can run RM on is upstairs, so I'll check that file out sometime ...

Oh, I understand why you'd want and, now, may need to use RM! What I was trying to understand was whether a given executor could in principle generate all the "real" codes for a given device -- so if I found a code in an upgrade that was missing in the list for one of my devices, I ought to be able ...

It's starting to make more sense :) Maybe answering this question will clear up most of my remaining confusion. The setup code selects an executor. The executor "knows" the protocol (how data is physically to be encoded in the IR signal), or "knows" how to select one, and any necessary device (and ...

You search for a file by mfg name here first, download what you think might be the closest match according to the model number or file date. The lookup tool is then used to find a built-in setup code that will work with the EFCs you found in the file. The lookup tool doesn't lead to the file, the ...

You said you used setup code (fill in the blank) for you tv. I used the lookup tool to search for your code and noted the resulting protocol and device/subdevice. Then I did a file search for samsung. I downloaded the first file in the list and opened it in RM. I saw that the protocol info matched ...

I just picked the newest model that matched the protocol info from your setup codes.

If you start to run out of keys to put all these commands on, check out Shifted functions in the Wiki.

Thanks again for all your help, but could I impose on you to go into more detail on exactly how you "just ...

mdavej -- Thanks very much! I'm afraid I just tried to use what seemed to be the simplest approach -- just using the LookUp tool. I found a couple of EFC lists (one was an alt) that seemed to correlate with the setup code and remote device, but neither was anything as complete as what you found ...

answering 3FG: I'm working on the Insignia right now -- most of the "known" codes that are associated with setup code 1463 seem to work, some don't -- especially the ones that look like they might do zoom. This is either a 2011 or 2012 set, so I suppose it's possible the codes are a little different ...

That's what I'd guessed, on the assumption that the device signature is unique to a particular remote type. I can report partial success -- I found the EFC to switch input, which was missing. (command to cycle through the inputs -- haven't found any of the discretes yet, although the original remote ...

OK, first stumbling block. I can't correlate my remotes to any of the ones I find here (say, within the lookup tool.) Both are Comcast remotes with DVR, OnDemand, red select button. Both have 1003 printed above the J1 plug.
Both blink signature 3039. One is silver and has model number RC1475505/04SB ...

Thanks mdavej and eferz. That should get me started. I had gathered that the easiest way to search the files was probably to use the software, although there were mentions of txt and excel files that had me wondering if that was necessary. I'll of course let you all know how it goes.
