Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2009 3:26 am Post subject: Adesso ARC-1100 (MCE Remote) |
|
|
1. Device: Adesso ARC-1100 (also Ortek VRC-1100?)
2. Type of device: MCE (Windows Media Center)
3. Year: ?
4. JP1/UEI Remote model: 15-2117
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? No
6. Still have original remote? Yes
7. Checked the file section? Yes
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? No
9. Partially working setup code? No
10. Learning remote question? No
I know I could get a JP1 cable for my 2117, but it seems simpler to just program in a few advanced codes for. I tried the SAT 1272 and VCR 1972 device codes for MCE, but the 2117 doesn't seem to recognize them. The Adesso remote looks almost exactly like the one described in this thread: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10863
I tried learning and at first it worked for a few keys, then I kept getting errors.
Is there some other device code I can use with the 2117, or am I going to have to bite the bullet and take the JP1 route?
Thanks,
--Jim |

i have an adesso arc1100 that i was going to see if i could find a code for. i've read all the pages referring to the adesso and the ortek remote. i've checked the look up tool and i've used all the pc codes i could find. i know harmony has an entry in their database for their remotes to replace the adesso remote. i use a RCA RCRP05B and i would love to use the jp1 setup in it but i can't afford to buy or build the cable for right now. i've tried learning the remote but i run out of memory on the rca before i can get it setup up how i want it. a partial code would do so that i could at least use efc's on it. any help would be really appreciated. thank you |

I'd try the learning route one more time. There are probably a lot of commands you'll never use (like numbers). You should have memory for 25 commands or so. If there are other devices using your learning memory, maybe we can help find codes for those. |

I guess that you could also see if anyone is willing to load your remote for you. If there are some learned signals in there already, that would be useful as it would confirm whether is uses the same codeset as the Ortek.
If you're willing to pay for the service, mention what you're willing to pay and see if you get any takers. _________________ Rob

Where are you located? _________________ Remember to provide feedback to let us know how the problem was solved and share your upgrades.
Tip: When creating an upgrade, always include ALL functions from the oem remote, even if you never plan on assigning them to a button. Complete function lists makes an upgrade more helpful to others.

tulsa, ok. i was able to learn all but two buttons with my rca remote. i was just wanting to learn a few more in alternate locations(i.e. in mce the channel buttons also page up/down in the guide). coming january were gong to get rid of our dvr service from cox so i'm just trying to get media center set up so my wife won't have any problems using it. i figured if the remote still worked the same that would go pretty far right there. i think what i'll do is just buy a legit mce remote in a couple of months so the i can just use the codes an efc's to set it up. thanks for the input and offers though. |

How much will the MCE remote cost? In terms of "bang for the buck" I bet you'd be much better of spending the money buying a JP1 cable so you can make your RCA remote do whatever you want. _________________ Rob

i plan on using the rca remote. on the lookup tool page i can get codes that work with a genuine mce remote. from there i can just use efc's to fill inj the blanks. i love this remote the only real problem it has is the lack of memory. and i guess the power button being locked down to cable. |

In case you ever get a JP1 cable, I found a match and recorded the IR signals with the JP1 tools to create the respective files.

I have this same remotes and the links to the files above did not work. I loaded them to the remote and they did not even make the IR receiver light up when a button was pressed. Not sure why.
I found that the upgrade here works fine for this remote when loaded on the RCRP05B.

You only have to move a few buttons around for you remote yo assign it to and a few fuction names are wrong and need to be renamed like Pic1 and "E" are the Recorded TV and Windows
EDIT: I see this is the same link as the one higher up in this thread posted by rob |
