5. Do you have a JP1 cable? No (always bought audio-modem type)
6. Still have original remote? Yes, AXD7445
7. Checked the file section? Yes, see text
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? Yes
9. Partially working setup code? Yes, 2 or 3!
10. Learning remote question? No
11. Have you tried the JP1 Lookup Tool? Yes

I was pretty into this a couple of years back, so I have some experience, but always with audio-modems.
I did learn to EFC into my Comcast remotes to add to setup codes, by looking them up in RM.

So...

I got this Game-HTIB and love it!
It is now part of a Xbox and Comcast based system, where the wife uses the Comcast remote.
I want the Comcast Aux to act like the HTS-GS1 remote.

The HTS-GS1 remote does 2 (or 3) things.
It works the HTIB for sound,input, volume and such.
It also works the Xbox for the Media Center stuff like start WMC, record, 'transport', and of course, play Xbox some.
(It has a small TV control section, I don't care, I have that.)

I can:
Set Comcast 1068 to 31384 for some Pioneer controls,and permanent EFCs for input select and on/off.
All the EFC codes from file "Pioneer HTS-GS1 URC-6131 v0.9b.rmdu will work manually under this setup code (Pio-HTIB 'side' of remote).

Set Comcast 1068 to (EDIT - NOT - 20522) 21708 or 21972 for some Xbox/Media Center controls, and permanent EFCs for some.
After some corrections, all the AXD7445 functions from file "Windows-Media-Center-plus-Xbox.rmdu" will work manually under this setup code (Xbox 'side'of remote).

They don't cross - no Pio EFCs work under Xbox setup code, and no Xbox EFCs work under Pio setup code.

Obviously, that's what I want to do! (And to understand, of course.)

A. I think... that when I change setup codes I also change protocols, and so an EFC from one doesn't 'come out' like they do when I start in the correct setup code.
B. I also think you're gonna tell I can only do this with a cable and a custom protocol that does a mix/combo for Xbox and Pioneer.
C. I don't yhink I would go that far yet, as it really is their gear and I may just use 2 devices on a 'larger' remote later.

D. Are there any other solutions?
E. I think maybe I could temporarily set TV as Xbox, Aux as Pio and 'move' single keys from TV to Aux. Then set TV back to Vizio for instance.
F. Would they 'take' their protocol with them? And keep it?

Thanks for the help!

EFC's are setup code specific.

KEYMOVES REMEMBER the setup code that was used to set them up.

If you need to mix and match items from different setup codes you need to change setup codes setup the EFC, then change them back.

This is much easier on remotes that use 5 digit setup codes.

[tshephard]

This is a 5 digit setup code remote.

If I read you right... I don' t need to use the TV device slot as go between - I could set a setup code, store EFC's for that code on some buttons, change setup codes, and set EFC's on other buttons, and all work using their specific setup codes (without keymoves from another device). Right?

I read you a lot, thanks!

[tshephard]

Woke up, tried -great!
Apparently a 994 key load stores protocol and EFC for any loaded key across setup codes.
THANKS.

How will I know when I've hit a limit, memory?

If the efc is coming from the tv device and its set to setup code want anyways, its better to map and keymove all in one operation like so:

1. tv
2. press and hold setup for two blinks, release
3. enter 9 9 4
4. tap setup for one blink
5. enter 5 digit efc
6. pick new device
7. pick key

You will get one long blink instead of two short blinks when you hit the final button in the sequence
