JP1 Remotes

I'm trying to make a device upgrade for my TV and minstereo on the URC-8206 and I can't get them to work correctly. I've learned the codes from the original remotes and created the devices from that.

The devices work in the sense that I can use them to control the TV and ministereo, but not with the buttons that I thought they would, e.g. I can change the volume, but not with the vol+ and vol- buttons. Well, vol+ changes the volume but down, and vol- changes the channel up. This is both for the TV and the ministereo device, so at least it is consistent Wink

I have uploaded the IR-file with the learned codes for the TV, the RemoteMaster-file for the corresponding device upgrade I made, and also the RDF-file I have used, here http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=4239

For the TV the number buttons gives the next number, i.e. 1 gives 2, 2 gives 3 and so on, except that 3 gives 9, 8 gives 4 and 9 gives vol+. What buttons generates 0 I have no idea.

I must be doing something wrong, but what?

First thing, the Protocols section in the 8206 RDF is out of date. It's missing all the variants. But that shouldn't matter for the JVC protocols.
If this follows the other HCS08 remotes, it should look like:

The version of PID 0098 in the current Euro models is different from the versions in the US remotes. I added "JVC Euro" to KM to support the URC-8206, but I don't think RM has had it added to protocols.ini yet. The Euro version is not a combo, just a stupid variation on the standard JVC protocol.

Thanks for the ideas, but unfortunately they were of no use in this case. Using JVC protocol 0034 didn't make any difference, e.g. the number buttons still work as I described in the inital message.

I really should have said that my ministereo is a Sony and its remote uses the Sony12 and Sony20 protocols, and using the Sony Combo (12/15/20) for the upgrade gives exactly the same problems as with the JVC protocol.

Obviously I could make the upgrade so that the 'correct functions are mapped to the wrong buttons' according to the RDF, so that in reality the buttons work the way I want, but I'd really like to find out what the problem really is.
