Pioneer DVD recorder DVR520 - multiple addresses?

capinsac · Post by **capinsac** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 8:51 pm

I tried changing the remote address on my HDVR2 DirecTivo unit to all 9 different address codes (1-9) and my Pioneer DVD recorder remote (DVR520) still causes certain commands to be executed on the HDVR2. When I change the remote address on the DVR520 however, the DVR520 remote no longer causes the HDVR2 to execute any of the commands.

Is there a way to add a unit code in KM for the DVR-520HS to account for the change in the remote address?

Do you have a JP1 learning remote?

If you learn one signal from the DVR520 when set to the new address, compare it to the same command either learned before the DVR520 address was changed, or from some built-in setup code or KM upgrade for the old address.

That should tell you the change that needs to be applied to every other command in KM to do the same address change.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I learned the same command for two different addresses from my DVR520 and the differences were only in command #1 for the OBC, Hex Cmd, and EFC. I changed the the OBC in KM and copied over the new device upgrade code into IR, but the remote still appears to be sending the old address commands.

Any suggestions?

If you want assistance understanding this, you'd need to post exactly what the codes where before the change and what they were after, then one of us could tell you how to change the upgrade in KM or RM.

Sorry. Below is the Learned Signal info from IR after learning two different keys for two different addresses on DVR520 remote.

Key pressed "1"
Address 1:
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 44, CB, 084,
2, Pioneer, 175, , 161, 7A, 225,
Address 3:
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 108, C9, 068,
2, Pioneer, 175, , 161, 7A, 225,

Key pressed "Play"
Address 1:
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 34, BB, 215,
Address 3:
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 98, B9, 199,

[EDIT]Corrected addresses

They added 64 to the OBC number in each case. That makes sense as a way of changing the address. I'm sure you'll find that consistent across the rest of the commands.

I also see that on the two part command they added 64 to the OBC used in the device 171 part and didn't change the OBC used in the device 175 part (that also fits what I would have expected).

I never remember the details of which Pioneer executor can do which set of codes, so hopefully Rob will tell you whether adding 64 to all those OBC values represents any complication for an upgrade in KM or RM.

I guess I would have expected that they would have added 64 to the OBC used with device code 175, but then again, as this is Pioneer, I probably should have expected that they'd do it the difficult way!

Anyway, I'm assuming that the upgrade file that you're using is this:

I have created the following untested upgrade file for address 2:

Excellent! I just uploaded your upgrade into my 2117 and all the keys appear to be working properly! Thanks for all your effort!

Just so you and everyone else planning to use this upgrade know, the remote address setting to set on the "initial setup" of the DVR520 is "3". I listed address 1 and address 2 in my post since I was only comparing those two addresses.

Thanks again. I will do some more testing tonight to see if there are conflicts.

How many addresses does this device support? Could you learn a button in each of the address modes so we can see what the codes are. I suspect that for address 3 you add 128 to the address 1 OBCs.

There are three addresses that can be selected from the initial setup on the recorder. To select the appropriate address on the DVR520 remote, you hold the return button and press "1", "2", or "3". Here's the learned code data I picked up for these three addresses.

Key pressed "1"
Address "1":
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 44, CB, 084,
2, Pioneer, 175, , 161, 7A, 225,
Address "2":
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 60, C3, 020,
2, Pioneer, 175, , 161, 7A, 225,
Address "3":
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 108, C9, 068,
2, Pioneer, 175, , 161, 7A, 225,

Key pressed "Play"
Address "1":
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 34, BB, 215,
Address "2":
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 50, B3, 151,
Address "3":
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 98, B9, 199,

Key pressed "Enter"
Address "1":
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 44, CB, 084,
2, Pioneer, 175, , 239, 08, 082,
Address "2":
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 60, C3, 020,
2, Pioneer, 175, , 239, 08, 082,
Address "3":
#, Protocol, Device, Sub-Device, OBC, Hex Cmd, EFC, Misc
1, Pioneer, 171, , 108, C9, 068,
2, Pioneer, 175, , 239, 08, 082,

If your most recent post is correct, the data you posted earlier is really for addresses 1 and 3, not 1 and 2, so therefore the upgrade that I posted is really for address 3 rather than 2.

Summary:

address 1 = uses the default codes
address 2 = add 16 to the default "device 171" OBC
address 3 = add 64 to the default "device 171" OBC

That's correct. I had originally posted the info for address "1" and address "3", but had mistakenly identified it as addresses 1 and 2.

Thanks again for the help on this.
