JP1 Remotes

Greetings All,
I have had a couple of URC 7562 (OFA) remotes for some years.
I thought they were exactly the same, but after reading this forum I now know that one is B00 and one is B01.
I always wondered what those 6 pins could do, but up until recently I could get the 7562 to do everything I wanted so there was no need to look further.
However recently I got hold of a dreambox DM7000s which has an URC 39730 B01 remote with it.
On reading here I think that remote is Dreambox V2.

The URC 39730 clearly has a similar pedigree to the URC 7562's
- it also has the JP1 6 pins in the back.
I could not get the URC 7562 to learn all the keys I wanted from the 39730
- more than likely learning memory full I am guessing.

I used 990 code on the 39730 and it blinked back as 1267 - unfortunately when I enter this code in either of my 7562's they do not recognise it (long single flash rather than 2 short flash) Which is why I ended up here

I have been reading this forum for last 2 weeks with growing excitement.
I have downloaded all the tools (IR, KM and RM) plus maps rdfs etc.
I have ordered a Jp1 parallel and a JP1 USB cable - nothing in the mail yet Sad

Now I am just trying to understand my next steps.
I am thinking I plug in each remote and grab a copy with IR - save and backup those configs (just in case)
I am then thinking that I can cut some code out of the 39730 config and then paste it into the 7562 config and then upload to the 7562.

Now finally the question - Can I do this with IR alone - or do I need to get into RM (or KM)?

Sorry for the mini novel - but just trying to get my head around what comes next.
Regards and thanks for any advice or assistance.

You would need to open the Dreambox upgrade, using either KM or RM (you don't need both), then you would need to copy the upgrade into IR in order to load into your remote. This is high level, read this for more info...

As for the Dreambox remote itself, you won't be able to use either of the JP1 cables that you have ordered with it, you would need a JP1.2 cable in order to program that remote.

Thanks for your help - JP1 cables have arrived - now the fun has begun.
Finally downloaded my 7562 with USB cable - JP1 head goes around the other way Sad

or you get SDA held low errror message.
I also used it and downloaded my URC 39730 for the Dreambox
It offered my Dreambox V2 or Force and then got me a good .ir file
so does that mean it is not 1.2 ?
cheers and thanks again

You are correct, the European 6-pin JP1 connectors are usually upside down compared to the USA remotes.

If you are able to download from your remote using a regular JP1 cable, it does indeed confirm that it is not a JP1.2 remote.
