Thanks for including such a complete set of information. This IR protocol is NEC1, device 0. You can use any NEC1, device 0 setup code. Find those using the Lookup Tool linked at the top of this page. I'd probably start with cable 2301, since most of the functions are already programmed into the remote-- but probably not to the buttons you'd like. Audio 1257, TV 0846, and Video 0719 will all work, and so will a lot of other setup codes. Here's the EFCs labeled with the button numbers shown in the IR Remote Control link:

Code: Select all

Edited to remove an incorrect statement regarding bit order.

Thank you for the amazingly fast response, that's awesome!

For reference I used Video 0719 and the codes corresponding to this device:

Code: Select all

Preset 1	00181
Preset 2	00185
Preset 3	00183
Freeze		00186
Input 1		00057
Input 2		00055
Input 3		00059
Input 4		00052
Vertical +	00121
Vertical -	00119
Horizontal +	00123
Horizontal -	00116
Center Up	00122
Center Down	00250
Center Left	00247
Center Right	00244
Color -		00169
Color +		00167
Brightness -	00168
Brightness +	00166
Detail -	00041
Detail +	00039
Tint -		00171
Tint +		00164
Contrast -	00170
Contrast +	00037

I didn't notice any difference with the Freeze button, so maybe it's button 9 instead of 8, I'll have to test it.

Where did those codes come from?

The DVS-204 manual says buttons 00054 (button 15, "Input 6" on IR 901), 00117 (button 17, "Take"), 00043 (44, "Sharpness -"), and 00036 (45, "Sharpness +") are non functional. 00123 (button 20) is already listed above as Horizontal +.

I got them from the Pronto file that you posted earlier. i compared the codes in there to the ones that you found. I guessed that input5 and input6 wouldn't do anything, but I figured these other ones were worth a try.
