help creating upgrade

Post by Ube_Astard »

I'm sorry I'm having a mare of a day and haven't used Jp1 files or RM for what seems like years now. I need a couple of upgrades, one for my Denon AVRX2700H receiver and one for sky IP0618 streaming box. I searched and couldn't find a suitable upgrade or starting point so learned some signals from the Denon remote but cannot get an upgrade working. I downloaded the ''tutorial on using IR and RM with an existing device upgrade file, or how to create your own'', but its blank.
Any helpful suggestion would be appreciated. I have uploaded the learned Denon remote to the files section.

When you want us to look at a file, it's customary to post a link to it, so we don't have to go searching. To save others the effort, here is the link:

So, what problems are you having with this? I looked at your rmir file and all of the learns decode as Denon-K with device code 4, and all of the OBCs are displayed, so that should be all of the info that you need to create an upgrade. I did check the Devices section to see if you've already tried to create a Denon-K upgrade, but I don't see one, so it doesn't look like you were able to even get started. As you didn't say what you tried, I can't guess where you went wrong.

I just created one using your learns here:

The whole process is described here:

Most of the other Denon upgrades in the Audio folder also use Denon-K with device code 4, so most of them will probably work your unit:

I'm really sorry I didn't post the link. I did try to create an upgrade several times. RMIR gave 3 options to create an upgrade from the learns and I used those bases to try to develop the upgrade unsuccessfully. Thank you so much for creating an upgrade for me, I will look at this after work today along with the guide. I really appreciate your work, thanks.

Ive reviewed and it is the same a the first upgrade I created so I was on the right track. However my Denon isnt responding to any buttons and though I cant yet figure out why, I believe it must be something simple I have overlooked. I have uploaded the remote file if anyone can review and see what I'm doing wrong, the file is

When you originally learned the signals from the Denon remote, did you test the learns to see if they work?

how many JP1 remotes do you have? If you have more than one, could you try loading the upgrade into one remote and then capturing the signals with a 2nd one? I'd like to compare the original learns to these new learns.

I did test them and would never attempt to create an upgrade without first doing that. I will do as you suggested with a 2nd remote.

The 2nd learns certainly look close enough to the 1st ones that they should work. Some of the ON times look a little short, so all I can think of is, are you using really fresh batteries in the remote?

I think most modern Denon AVRs share codes, here is a simple upgrade that I made (I included the day to day stuff but there are literally tons of codes)
