I have a new device where most of the funtions are RC5 device 29 but there a about 3 which are Panasonic device 160. Which combo do I need to use. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure about that mix? It doesn't sound likely.

What device are you trying to control? Do those Panasonic signals really operate that device?

Usually when we see a question like this, someone has learned all the signals from an original remote without noticing that the original remote had a volume punch through or similar feature so that a few of its buttons are programmed to control some other device.

If you really want that mix, it is easiest to define keymoves (either as external functions in KM/RM or directly in IR) rather than use the device combiner protocol.

Your correct, the volume was controlled by the Panasonic numbers, but the DVD eject button is also controlled by it. The device is the Kiss DP 558 recorder, but if there is no other way then I will look at keymoves.

I'm still questioning your "controlled by".

I think you're still giving information based on what keys on your Kiss remote you used to learn onto your JP1 remote.

What I want to know is what those learned signals on the JP1 remote do to the Kiss recorder.

I still don't think a Kiss DVD recorder will respond to Panasonic signals, so when you test those learned signals from your JP1 remote I think they'll either do nothing or they'll operate some other device.

Sorry, your right again. User error. Just realized I still had learns from an older device on the remote. Sorry.....
