Weird Denon remote behavior

Post by Fast351 »

I have a Denon receiver that I'm using while my NAD is in the shop :( Anyway, I programmed my URC 8810 with the Denon remote codes to run my system while my other toy is gone. Here's what's weird.

If I use the learning feature of the remote and learn the volume up/down/mute, I get Denon dev 2 54/56/52. The buttons work when they're learned. The buttons are dead when I transpose this information into a device.

Any clue to what's going on? Smells like a potential bug in the irdecode.dll maybe, but who knows.

Edit: oh, and other buttons like source selector do work when using the codes entered into the device.

Here is what I think they should be:

Denon:2

OBC EFC Command

241 054 VOL +
242 056 VOL -
240 058 MUTE

Try these and see if it works, perhaps you didn't select them/select them correctly in the buttons tab?

You might also try re-learning to double check the de-coding.

Yeah, I just double checked them. They decode correctly, as is evidenced by them working when learned, but when I set them up using the same parameters in the KM spreadsheet and install them as a custom device, they don't work. It's the weirdest thing. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it correctly since I've created 4 other devices for my TV, DVD, Tuner, and Sat box, all without troubles.

I can sure send you the file if you're interested in looking at it.

Well s**t, now it works. I musta screwed something up or maybe the receiver freaked out when I was testing codes and just needed the power cycled.

Thanks for your zen-like help :)

Figured it out. I had volume punch through set for all devices including the aux device that I loaded the Denon in. So when I hit volume it was sending out the NAD codes instead of the Denon codes. Oh well, live and learn.
