1. Device: Sony BDP BX37
2. Type of device: DVD Player
3. Year: Uncertain
4. JP1/UEI Remote model: ATLAS OCAP UEI 1056B015ABC1-BXX-001-XXXX-XXX-R
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? Not yet
6. Still have original remote? Yes
7. Checked the file section? Yes found files but can't figure out how to extract the setup codes from them
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? I finally figured out what R/C was and went to Remote Central, and finally found that 'Pronto Section' refers to a Phillips remote family? So yes I did, but can't see how it relates to my ATLAS remote
9. Partially working setup code? No
10. Learning remote question? No
11. Have you tried the JP1 Lookup Tool? Yes, it generates a page of about 80 lines. I don't know what 'Protocol' I need to use, but I have tried to use the DVD Subtype codes, they didn't work.

As I have tried to explain in this thread , an Atlas 1056 B01 can not be manually modified to send Sony Bluray signals. You need a cable. There are several upgrades in the file section which will generate the required signals.

Perhaps it isn't obvious, but there is no need to search for Sony Bluray IR signals. They are very well known, and the problem with a 1056B01 Atlas isn't finding the the IR signals, it is the inability of that remote (without a cable) to send the Sony Bluray IR signals.

I found a direct device profile match on the Logitech Harmony Database. The IR signals have been recorded using the associated JP1 tools. Here are the files which I created for the respective device.

Hope it helps.

EDIT: Apparently, I missed a couple of commands: blue and powertoggle. So, I updated both files and even assigned the commands to the layout of the remote.

Sorry, I can't bibbity bobbity for you, being only an apprentice and can barely bop she bop.

Thanks for the effort eferz, but we already had a nearly identical sony blu-ray upgrade HERE. It's useful to know that all sony blu-rays use the same codes, as do all panasonic blu-rays. If the OP had a cable, I'd have directed him to that existing upgrade so you wouldn't have had to go to all that trouble.

JLPicard,

In your case, all you have to do is wait for your cable, download one of the files linked above (eferz new one or our existing one), pick your remote model in RM, assign to the DVD button and download. If you're not happy with the layout, drag and drop the functions you want to the buttons you want. At this stage, you require no understanding of protocols, OBCs, EFCs, or setup codes. So if this is too overwhelming, you can forget about it for now. Just load the files and you can dig into the details later.

As others have said, control of your sony is impossible without a cable, so you may as well wait. The best use of your time would be to find upgrade files for all your devices so you'll be ready to go.

The Lookup Tool is best for finding what device setup code will work with the EFC/Protocl info you get from our files or your own learns. I think most of us use the Lookup Tool in order to help others who don't have a JP1 cable. If you have a cable, you don't need the tool.

eferz,
Are you aware of http://hifi-remote.com/sony/? It's a very complete listing of Sony IR commands, which tend to be very uniform within a product type. I find it to be a good resource.

One thing I notice is that the LHD says OBC 22 is "Exit", but for most Sony Blurays OBC 22 actually performs "Open/Close" (aka Eject). I think that most Sony OEM remotes don't have a button for Open/Close, but neither do they have an Exit button. Exiting a menu is done with the Return button.

Of course I don't know for sure that OBC 22 isn't Exit on the BX37, but I'd bet that it is actually Open/Close. It is on the Bluray at our house.

Oh crap, well at least I don't feel so stupid. I guess I will have to wait till I get a cable...

Thanks so much for the assistance. You guys here are quick for great and accurate responses. I do appreciate it.

One WEIRD thing that happened while I was trying to find my code with the code search on the remote though. The sequence uses CH+ to cycle to the next code attempt, then of course you try the power button to see if that code works. While cycling thru the codes, when I hit the CH+, going to the next code, the hitting of the CH+ turned the Sony BluRay off. I had not even hit the power button yet. The CH+ itself turned it off. I have no idea what that code was though, I will have to redo it to see if I can find the code with 991.

Seemed odd to me /shrug...

All the upgrades posted in this thread so far do have that command. What file are you using that doesn't have it? In the layout tab of RM, just drag and drop the command to the button of your choice. Many of us use the record button or shift-stop.

NM I found it, I opened up RM and thru the Device Upgrade Editor, Functions, I found that the LIVE Function had OBC 22 on it. I just went to test it and found it performed the Open Close.

You really need to review the button layouts on all your upgrades because there is no guarantee all the functions are where you want them or assigned to any buttons at all. You shouldn't have to worry about OBCs at this stage either because all the functions in the upgrades in question are clearly labeled.

The Function Name is listed as Live. The only way I knew it was Open/Close is from the OBC it performs (22) which I found out from this link: http://hifi-remote.com/sony/Sony_bluray.htm

The Button is Live, but shouldn't the Function name be listed as Open/Close?
