Wow! Thank you Rob!
I'll try using that on the remote...but how did you come up with that, or better yet how can I figure that out on my own?

If it's too hard to explain maybe you can decifer these others:

1. Protocol = RC5, RC5 device code is 17, OBC=63, EFC=same as CD

2. Protocol = RC5, RC5 device code = 18, OBC=63, EFC=same

3. Protocol = RC5, RC5 device code = 21, same OBC, same EFC

Thanks again for your help! :D

Unfortunately, there isn't a match in the 15-2117 for device codes 17 and 18, so you'll need to create an upgrade to program those, but there are two matches for device code 21, those being...

PHONO/0188 and
AMP/0256

Device code 21 is the first device code in PHONO/0188, so the correct EFC is 018. With AMP/0256 it's the second device code so the correct EFC is 010.

In other remotes, RCVR/0189 is a match for device code 17 (where 018 is the EFC) and TAPE/0029 is a match for device code 18 (where 018 is also the EFC).

I wasn't able to follow everything in this thread, but to help me understand other Philips devices, please confirm (or correct) my understanding of what you discovered after the above quote:

The orriginal receiver remote is not sending a macro when you press one of those select buttons. Instead it is sending just the single command with OBC number 63. But it sends that command with a different device number (not the device number used by most of the receiver commands). I assume it is the device number of some Philips device of the selected type.

Each of those command 63's acts as both a discrete on and a discrete input select for the receiver. I'd guess it also acts as a discrete on for the other Philips device which uses its device number.

Rob,
you 'da man!! Thank you!
Now that I know the codes I'll tackle the upgrade through KM. Thanks again! :D


johnsfine,
I believe you are correct. I should not have put "macro" in that explanation...what I was trying to describe was that the one press of the button was sending out two signals. And in my rudimentary world I was making that analogous to a macro. Thanks for the clarification.

JP1 forum RULES!!!

Thanks,
Ed
