JP1 Remotes

I apologize for the thread hijack, but I need to know whether this remote from x10.com will work in my situation:

I have a Sony STR-DE805G (VisionTouch) receiver controlled by the RM-VR1 "Egg" remote. According to http://www.remotecentral.com/features/premotes.htm most universal remotes won't work with this receiver. However I read a posting from Mr. Cinema7 (posted July 2003):

If you don't already have the HT-PRO, it doesn't seem likely you can get one. I still hope mine will arrive, but I don't believe that.

Neither the HT-PRO nor the 15-1994 are supported by the customer support organisation that does the upgrades. That is a policy issue, not a technical issue. They are both technically able to be upgraded.

If we have the data for a VisionTouch upgrade, it is trivial to install via JP1 cable into a 15-1994 or an HT-PRO. I don't know whether we do.

In other cases, if we don't have the data we can create it ourselves based on learning the original signal. But VisionTouch is too high frequency, so we can't do that.

I just noticed there is a "Sony Egg" choice in our KM spreadsheet. I don't know for sure, but there is a good chance that is the "data" I was saying I didn't know whether we had or not, in which case we have it.

UEI may not want to give customer service to HT-Pro owners, but that shouldn't stop you from using upgrade service, there are other phone #'s you can use, and just say you have the urc-9910. Smile

Thanks everyone for the information. It sounds like with JP1 and the file that Rob pointed to, I should be able to put something together that will work. I ordered the HT-PRO from x10.com. If that doesn't work out, I'll just stick with the 15-1994.
