JP1 Remotes

Hi everyone,

I'm praying someone can help me here, i have a Samsung BD-DT7800 freeview HD recorder and also purchased a slingbox 350 at the same time. The problem is slingbox does not have any support for the recorder, my model doesn't appear on the list of compatible devices.

Luckily I found this site and manage to grab a bin file. I can now control the system remotely using the custom remote file but there is one button, one crucial button that is missing - the tool button! I realised that without this button I cannot delete my recorded programs remotely.

Please can somebody help me? I am not a techie person and really hope someone can save me here.

Thank you in advance!

Please post a link to the bin file that you've had partial success with. That way, we don't have to guess which one you used.

Hi there

I got the bin file from here:

http://wdw.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... e_id=10243

Thanks again

That bin file uses Samsung36 IR protocol, device 48.26 E=1. We have two other files with similar IR protocol, found by using JP1-Master-1.11.xls. Both of these say Tools in OBC 9. The bin file you're using has OBC 9 assigned to the Setup button.

This upgrade file has 5 functions not found in the bin file. Perhaps those could be useful.

I agree, just loaded it onto my Harmony and the Tools code is 9.

You access the Setup command by right-clicking on the image and use the menu.

Hi 3FG and Alan,

Thanks for looking into this for me. Unfortunately I didn't understand anything from both your posts. I'm clueless when it comes to technical stuff. Can I just upload the files you suggested to my slingbox 350?

Sorry to be a pain!

guildhall, the generic skin of your slingbox doesn't have a button labeled "tool", so the tool function was mapped to the "Setup" button.

Apparently you need to right click on the remote image to access the setup function.

Hi again,

I am embarrassed and apologise for my incompetence here. I tried right clicking on the virtual remote and then the "setup" button but it takes me straight back to the Samsung setup menu screen?

Pity. I suppose it is logical for the Setup button to go to the Setup function. Unfortunately all the information we have is that the Tools function is the same code as the Setup function.

1. I assume you actually tried that button when your PVR was in a state where you wanted to delete recorded programs ? It could be the code is context-dependent.

2. I assume that your 'real' remote has 2 different buttons, one for 'Setup' and one for 'Tools' ?

3. I have managed to find a few more codes from the Logitech Harmony IR database so I have built you a new remote adding them as :

Custom 10: Channel List
Custom 11: Smart Hub
Custom 12: Audio
Custom 13: AD
Custom 14: 2D-3D
Custom 15: Record Pause

(Again right-click on the image to access them)

Any better ?

According to the Samsung manual, the Tools button is a context sensitive button. In order to delete the recording you must be in the Recorded TV screen to get the menu you are looking for.
1. In the Home menu, press the ◄► buttons to select the My Contents.
2. Press the ▲▼ buttons to select the Recorded TV, and then press the ENTER button.


1. In the Recorded TV screen, press the YELLOW (C) button to display check box.
2. Press the ENTER button to select the desired title you want to delete.
3. Press the TOOLS button.
4 Use the ▲▼ to select DELETE then press ENTER.

Hi everyone,

Many thanks for all your help! I right clicked the remote and used the Menu (D) button and it acted as the tool button.

I am so relieved now! You guys are the best and saved me from buying another PVR as I was going to give up this samsung box!

Thank you everyone for your kind help!

In that case there is no need to right-click, just use the normal Menu button on the remote.
