Hi,

In a previous thread, I managed to get most of my learned commands setup as keymoves in my 15-2116 Radio Shack remote.

I have only the learned commands from my Sony STR-DE915 receiver left to transfer. When I transfer the learned codes to keymoves the resulting keypresses don't operate the receiver.

What am I doing wrong? I've looked at some of the Sony specific files, but I'm not sure where to begin. The remote functions when using the learned button, but not when I try to move it to a keymoved button.

The receiver responds to RCVR code 1058 and the learned keys do work, so I'm not sure if the whole AV1 AV2 thing applies to what I'm doing or not.

Here is my current IR file... not sure if that will help or not.

Any help is appreciated greatly!

Take a look at http://www.hifi-remote.com/sony/Sony_efctable.htm

Your learned signals use the Sony12 protocol, with a mix of devices 12, 18, and 16, so you'll have to use the appropriate setup codes as listed on that page to get those devices.

That page uses the term command code ( or C.C.), which from a JP1 point of view is the OBC.

Hi,

Is the best method to use RM to make an upgrade?

I did this, with success for a 1 button test, but it seems to have completely reasigned my AUX from RCVR 1058 to 0159. (0159 is the setup code which works for the device 12 items on that list)

Many other keys stopped working with this "upgrade". Is this normal? I'm going to have to make seperate upgrades for each of the devices (12, 16 and 18).

I'm a bit confused as to how to combine the upgraded code with my exsisting setup as to not loose my working keys.

thanks!

A device upgrade does not overlay a setup code. It replaces it.

RM/KM are perfectly good ways to handle this, but you either have to

Recreate the entire setup code or
Use RM/KM to create a device upgrade with no buttons assigned, and which is not assigned to a device kye, then use IR to create the keymoves you want, using the Hex cmd that RM/KM shows for the desired functions.

Will I need a seperate upgrade for each device? 12, 16 and 18?

You could either use 2 upgrades that use the Sony 12/15 protocol (it allows two devices), or one upgrade that uses the Sony 12/15/20 protocol that allows any device number, but would require a protocol upgrade.

Alternatively, you can try using the setup code listed on that page I linked to earlier, showing the device numbers available from some of the built-in setup codes. For example, Audio/0000 uses devices 17 and 12 (need that one!), Audio/0020 uses devices 18 (need it) and 24, and Audio/0158 has devices 16 (need it) and 13.

Then, depending on whether the device you want is listed first (A) or second( B), you take the OBC and pull the EFC to use for your keymoves from the appropriate column.

So for example take the signal you've learned onto the PIP button, which uses device 12 and OBC 63, you would create the keymove using setup code AUD/0000, then lookup command code 63 in the "B" EFC column, which would give EFC 165.

Thanks so much to you both of your very helpful advice!

I ended up going Mike's route and used RM as a 2-byte HEX calculator for the correct keymove codes for Setup Device 1058.

Here is my current IR file.

Now that I have no more learned keys in memory, I have to apply the extender and try to get my Macros all setup on DSP keys.

I'm sure I'll be back with more questions about that! Smile

Thanks again,

carlb613, you can map efc for sony audio receivers on the 2116 without jp1. Here's how:

1. press AUDIO
2. press and hold P
3. press SELECT
4. scroll down to TAPE
5. press SELECT
6. press exit

7. press AUDIO
8. press and hold P
9. scroll down to KEYMOVER
10. press SELECT
11. press AUDIO
12. tap P, do not hold
13. enter 124 or 191 for DVD, or what EFC you're mapping
14. press SELECT
15. press AUDIO
16. pick a key

Now repeat for other EFC's you need by starting from step 7. Once done return AUDIO device to setup code 1058.

I meant what I wrote, if you DON'T press SELECT after "press and hold P", you run into other operations like LEARN, VOL LOCK and SUCH. Hitting SELECT, you're now in CODE SET, so you can change RCVR or AMP to TAPE. And didn't have you enter a code because the first one listed is Sony TAPE code 0243 which you need.
