First post here! For a first thing, hi to all this wornderfull community!
I've a beginner question, i own an Onkyo Remote labeled RC-591M, it has the 6pin connector but there is no label for JP1, JP1.1 or 1.2 on the board. It has a 24c128 eeprom (16k?) and it can also learn commands from remotes. Now the question, is this a JP1 remote? IF yes, which is the right selection on RemoteMaster?
Some technical details:
Onkyo RC-591M
The chip on the board says: RC1407611_K
On the board there is a logo that says: GODO.
Thanks in advance!!!

Simple test - if you have a JP1 cable, try to download it. It seems extremely unlikely you can do any harm.

Yours is a "chicken and egg" situation that I can't see an easy way out of. We can't tell you if your remote is a JP1 remote unless you buy a cable and try downloading it, but you won't buy a cable unless we tell you whether your remote is a JP1 remote. So what happens next?
My instinct says that it's probably not a JP1 remote. First off, we've never seen an EEPROM chip that large installed in one of these remotes (unless we installed it ourselves), and secondly it usually says UEI somewhere on the remote or the PCB when the remote is a JP1 remote.
A little more info about this remote

It uses codes listed in the manual availible for a number of Onkyo models
http://www.intl.onkyo.com/downloads/man ... nual_e.pdf
scroll all the way to the end and then skip back a few pages... pg 80 is the start of "other product codes" not that they mean much without the hex they match to.
Some of the results indicated that UE manufactured these for onkyo
inside the battery cover there are 6 pads that look very jtag/j1ish I'll pull it apart and post some pictures of the PCB and see if I can get anything interesting out of it.
