|
|
This recently released rm-vlz620 remote from sony is UEI made.
It uses 5 digit codes, the prefixes are weird, 5****= tv's, 1****=blu-rays, 7****=cd players. the rest of the code is UEI.
It uses 9** codes to program the remote, but they are weird as well, 933, 905, 977???
I was looking at pdf's of recently released remotes to find one with blu-ray codes, started jotting down the codes and none looked familar until I got to samsung 10199 & sony 11516, this uei made remote!!! So I ordered the remote tonight it will be here next week. Some have had problems with learning, due to the instructions, So I wanted get it anyways. _________________ Edmund |

The RM-AX1400, VL1400, PL1400 all had an internal 6 pin header and all used the uPD78F0547GC processor.
RST Reset signal input
FLMD0 FLASH writing signal
FLSI RXD6 FLASH_WRITE signal input
FLSO TXD6 FLASH_WRITE signal output
Gnd
VDD +3V
Have never gotten around to see if they can be used with a JP1 cable as such. Will see if there is anything in the service manuals later. |

What do you mean by "internal 6-pin header" ? Do you see any tell-tale signs that these are UEI remotes? The uPD78F0547 chip is an NEC chip, so that would tend to say that these are not UEI remotes. _________________ Rob

If you can tell anything from the service manual, you can download it from RC files. They have the service manual, the manual, and codesheet.
I purchased it from Amazon, using amazon prime and still won't show up until the Sept 4th.
If anyone wants it quicker, you can get in Best buy. _________________ Edmund |

Does it really have two menu buttons?
And what exactly is "SYSTEM CONTORL"?

To save you having to look for it, it's here: RM-VLZ620 at Remote Central
While the instructions don't look like UEI instructions, the setup codes *are* UEI setup codes, so I would be very curious to know what the PCB looks like when you get the remote. _________________ Rob

I'd also be interested in seeing if the dyslexic "SYSTEM CONTORL" button is indeed so labeled! _________________ Beginners - Read this thread first

I can't take a picture worth a damn, there are no pins or pads. If you want #'s off the components I will wait 'til to put this back together?
And it doesn't have this mispelling of control. And there aren't two MENU keys, the two white keys are RECALL & MUTING. _________________ Edmund |

I thought you were good at taking pictures, don't you often post pics of remotes side-by-side. _________________ Rob

I take good pictures of zippos, i sell on ebay. All I have is pink casio point and shoot exilm i bought for $60 on woot. i can't take clear close photo for you to read the #'s off the components.
try this photo

The first pic's not bad, the problem is the flash obscuring some of the PCB. The best way to take a pic like this is to do it during the day when there's lots of natural light so you don't need the flash. _________________ Rob

Wow, that looks very different to what we typically see.
There appears to be a sub-board which may be hand-soldered(!) to the main PCB. The sub-board has 40 connections, and presumably carries the microprocessor.
There are also two 8 pin chips, and I'd like to know the numbers on those chips. Perhaps they are drivers for the LEDs.
Apparently there is a 5 pin (2 pins not connected) reset chip, which is typically used to reset the micro (and other components) if the supply voltage goes too low.
Do you see a IR receiver for learning? It looks like there are 3 IR emitters.
Compared to the UEI PCBs that I have seen, this one has quite a bit more cost in it. |
