I hope this is the right place to post this. I am looking for the BIN codes for a Philips DVP 3150V. It is also called Philips DVP3150V/37. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Here is a basic remote. If it works tell me what other functions you need (There are about 50 ancillary functions and I don't want to waste time analysing them all )

Thanks! I'm out of town this weekend, but will try it out when I get home on Monday. I'm just needing very basic functionality - power, channel up/down, number pad. I really think that's it. I'm just using it to get cable TV. I'm not even using the VCR or DVD features. I'll let you know how it goes! Again, I appreciate it!

This unit uses RC6 for the DVD functions and RC5 for the VCR functions. It is probably better to divide this into two upgrades for a regular remote.
Here is a complete list of the functions for this unit using the RC5/6 combo. There are close to 80 functions!

Sorry, alanrichey, I finally got around to testing it today. Unfortunately, it's not working. When I install it and test the Power button in the Setup Assistant, I get an error that says "Custom remote code not found. Please try a different code." I chose the custom code and entered V2010. Am I doing something wrong? I followed the instructions here ->

If it matters, I'm using an old Slingbox AV.

Why didn't you follow the instructions I included in the Remote ?
That message means it is not seeing the BIN files. Are you sure you have them in the right place ?

Alan, could this mean he needs the OLD bin version?

Al, I just imported the binary files that you created into RM and it appears that you forgot to assign the functions to the buttons.
I searched the file section to see if you loaded an RMDU file so I could fix it for you, but didn't find one.
Byrdley20, I found a file for the
Philips DVP-3750v_37 which uses the same protocol/device code, and also doesn't have any buttons assigned funnily enough, and used that instead. I used it to create a set of bin files, V2010 for the DVD and V2011 for the VCR, here:

I included JU bin files just in case the Slingbox AV is old enough to require them. I included the RMDU files in case you want to re-work the button assignments.

Whoops, sorry about that. I must remember that this is one of the reasons for that error message

Thanks for stepping in, I'll wait for a report back before we continue.

Robman, I tried your BIN files, but I still didn't have any luck. I don't get any error now. However, the DVD/VCR doesn't respond to any commands. I double checked that the infrared blasters were plugged in and pointing at the right location on the box. Any other suggestions? I'm wondering if this box just isn't compatible...

OK, just to make sure, I have updated my original attempt with the buttons now mapped.

Just give it a try

Ok, good news, bad news. AlanRichey, I tried your latest files out. It partially worked. The power button was able to turn the box on and off. But none of the other buttons functioned. The only ones I really need are power, channel up, channel down, and the numbers 0-10. Are you able to map those? I appreciate it! We're so close!

Unfortunately those were the buttons I had already mapped. As Vicky pointed out, this machine uses 2 different IR protocols, one for the VCR (RC5) and one for the DVD (RC6). The power button is associated with the VCR functions. I had tried to build it using a protocol that combines the 2 types, but obviously only the RC5 part was working.
I've recompiled it using just the RC6 protocol, so that the power won't work but the other buttons should. That was we will know if the problem lies in the protocol or my learn.

What happens ?

I tried that new one and now none of the buttons work. I would think the channel up/down and number keys would be associated with the VCR (RC5). Is it possible to build it using just the RC5 protocol?
