Does anyone have a picture of this remote so I can include it in the distribution?

there is a crappy picture here. It is a little small.
Otherwise there is the PDF file of the manual.... here

I am not sure if you need to register on SA's website...

Thanks, that's a start

Thanks for the picture and manual.

After the next update of RM I will be uploading a new set of RDF's, maps and images. Which simply means you will have an image to work from in RM.

I am just getting started in this, so i havent really used RM before.
Does this mean you will also be updating the RDF? As it is right now it still needs some work.
mr_d_p_gumby was/is helping out on this. In any case the progress he has made up to date is in this thread.

Yes, I have been following this thread and will keep whatever I distribute up to date plus some of the new stuff that does not directly impact what you are doing.

You may want to try RM since having both RM and KM in your toolkit is very handy. One thing nice in RM is the visual effect of being able to see the buttons as you assign functions.

I just noticed this yesterday....
after I did the 998 code (to power all components with power button) I cannot control the volume on my receiver... I hit AUX and then control volume but nothing happens... I know it used to work before the 998 code... I had tried programming the remote so it will always control the receiver but that never worked... is this something known, or is it possible I messed something up when i tried programming volume control (i did this using the code in the manual)????

I have FINALLY gotten around to doing some of the requested experiments with the 994 and the 995 commands.
I updated the 3250HD.zip in the files section. You should be able to use the original link provided in this thread.
I am not sure that these codes have worked as intended, as I did all this during my lunch hour at work... the file names should be self explanatory but if anything is unclear, let me know

have either Nils or mr_d_p_gumby been able to take a look at the files i uploaded??

is there any other tests i can do to help out with this project??

I've noted that you posted your files, but I won't have time to look at them for a few more days. (Another one of those darn deadlines at work! :? )

thanks for the update... was getting worried since i took so long to get the files that it would have been overlooked.

Good news that the remote accepts keymoves and macros. That makes the next step much easier. :)

I've posted an updated RDF file here.

The next step is to identify the key codes for all the buttons on the remote. The easiest way to do this is to create a series of macros. Fill each macro with 15 different buttons. Download into IR (using the RDF I posted), and make a note of the hex key code associated with each button in the macro. It will help if you post the IR file along with your notes, as you did before.

Also, I've added an option for Master Power in the RDF. I'm not certain it is correct yet (2 bytes changed in your files), so you need to try changing the option in IR, uploading to the remote, and checking if the remote is observing the setting.

I see where you are going with this (macros). Basically if we know which 15 buttons i assigned to a macro then we will be able to decipher each buttons hex value??

as far as the master power... I just tried a comparison in IR.. I took my 3250hd.ir file (my base file) and then set the master power... but when i compare the hex values to the other IR file i provided (power-all-components.ir) they dont seem to match up... it is close but not quite right.. I can try it out anyways to let you know.. when i do a file difference between these two I see that there are 4 bytes that change. The bytes that change on 3250hd are: 0000 (0x94 to 0xe4), 0001 (0x6b to 0x1b), 0014 (0x07 to 0xf7), and 0015 (0x80 to 0x00). The change you made to the rdf is affecting 00, 01, and 15... 15 is ok, and it looks like 00 and 01 are reversed (14 EB, instead of E4 1B) and you are missing the change to address 14.

I just had a question....
If someone has learned the keys from this remote, would they not have the hex values for the keys then?
Also, when we finally do figure out all the keys, will that help others program their universal JP1 remotes to use their SA box??

Learning the IR signals this remote sends out for each key would only tell us what the IR signal is for each key. That would provide the information necessary to build a device upgrade that can duplicate the IR signals generated by the remote.

It would not tell us the internal keycodes for the keys, which IR, RM, and KM need to know in order to correctly program macros, keymoves, or device upgrades.
