I've been using a 7652 remote and had reasonable success but I have recently obtained a 5550 remote and I've been unable to find either an inbuilt code or a suitable device code for input to the RemoteMaster program for a Pioneer 344 DVD that works with the 5550.

The Pioneer DVD was controllable using DVD device code 625 on the 7652.

I've tried a number of Pioneer DVD device codes with the RemoteMaster program without success.

I have tried learning a sample of buttons from the Pioneer remote on the 7652, the results seemed inconsistent between the results of each button, what is the best forum to get help in understanding the learnt codes and how to translate this into a suitable device code for the RemoteMaster program ? or any other suggestions.

Looks like the second example (b).

Each learnt button has multiple protocols. The first is pioneer 163, the second is pioneer 175 and the OBC changes for the second protocol. But but there is a third protocol that does vary. The third protocol always starts with the letters GAP. An example is GAP-524-1254-15? 35.

There is also a warning that part of the signal was sent after the button was released.

So you have confirmed that the first two signals use the SAME protocol (ie, Pioneer) but with different device codes. This is exactly what the "Pioneer DVD" exec calls for, so read the description in KM or RM for additional assistance.

Ignore the GAP parts, those are just mis-decodes.

I've noticed some learned codes only have one learnt command. For example the button for 1 has two codes, but the play button only has one code.

Eg the play button has a device code of 163 and OBC of 158 but the #1 button has a device of 163 and OBC of 153 and its second code has a device of 175 and a OBC of 161.

Is this right for the "Pioneer DVD" protocol ?

thanks.

I've performed further tests and have used the same protocol (Pioneer DVD) and the OBC's for a select number of buttons and performed tests on my 5550 and my 7562.

The 7562 works and the 5550 doesn't. Any suggestions on the best way forward to diagnose the 5550 problems ?

thanks

The 7562 has the Pioneer DVD protocol on board, the 5550 doesn't. Did you have copy and paste the upgrade protocol to IR? If yes, then you have to select the Device Button Restriction in the Add Device Dialog of IR.

The 5550 has the 017E protocol loaded and the device button restriction is set to CD.

I've only implemented a small number of buttons (1,2,3,4,play and stop). The buttons 1,2,3,4 will work but no success with the PLAY and STOP buttons.

When using the same protocol (Pioneer DVD) and configuration generation via either KM or RM, it will work on a URC-7562 but not fully with the 5550 IE some buttons won't work.

The buttons that don't work on the 5550 are single part commands. I've also noticed that some buttons can be configured in RM or KM but won't work at all. The remote's led doesn't even signal a button push.

At this point I'm happy to believe I should be using Pioneer DVD as the protocol and that my problem is associated with either the implementation of the Pioneer DVD protocol in the 5550 or a problem that causes some buttons not to be configured correctly.

Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Put your upgrades files and your dump files (both from 7562 and 5550) in a zip file and load it up, so one of use can take a look.

Be sure to include your IR dumps with the learned signals in them.

My test configs and learnt codes can be found at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jp1/files/Diagnosis%20Area/pioneer-344-5550.zip

At this point I believe my problem is that some of the codes are appearing on the wrong buttons on the 5550 eg play is appearing on rew and stop is appearing on rec. I could be wrong but the article http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1585 is some what similar to my issue.

thanks

It works.

Many thanks to Rob and Uwe for the assistance.
