How to convert RMDU to CCF?

[derek1234]

Hello,

I need help! First a little background. I purchased a used Yamaha HTR-5860 receiver, and it did not come with a remote. So I tried code 0176 on my URC-6130. Some of the buttons worked, but the power button and the arrow keys for the menu did not. I have tried a lot of different stuff. I tried code 1176, I tried both codes with the alternate code setting in the receiver. I tried copying the Pronto Hex codes into Omniremote, but the hex codes did the same thing as code 0176 in the URC-6130. I also tried to upload the upgrade listed below into the remote. http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=2720
But I could not even get the basic interface working on my PC (I'll post that question in another forum).

So now the only thing that I can think of to try is to convert the RMDU file from above into Pronto hex that I can use in Omniremote. I understand that makehex.exe can do that. However I haven't been able to find detailed instructions on how. For instance, what device code should I use? I plan on using the nec1.ird file, is that correct? What format do the functions need to be in? What fields do I need to extract from the RMDU file to create the functions?

Any and all comments, suggestions, and/or help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Derek

You could get a copy of the RemoteMaster Java program and open that .rmdu yourself. But it was easy enough for me to extract the relevent info from that file for you.

It is (as you guessed) NEC1 protocol, so you use NEC1.irp

It is device 122.

The individual functions from that .rmdu file are pasted below. If you use MakeHex, use the Fun# listed there and ignore EFC. An alternative is to use EFC numbers directly in your 6130, which can be done even without a JP1 cable (directly with the keyboard of the 6130).

Code: Select all

EFC	Fun#	Function
058	15	VCR 1
123	19	DVR/VCR 2
120	21	CD
118	22	Tuner
247	26	vol up
251	27	vol down
244	28	mute
248	29	Power On
246	30	Standby
103	82	Arrow Right
107	83	Arrow Left
100	84	DTV/Cable
104	85	Video Aux
102	86	Straight Effect
106	87	Sleep
190	134	Level
194	135	Multi Channel In
061	136	Stereo
065	137	Music
063	138	Entertain
067	139	Movie
064	141	Standard
128	149	Night
126	150	Select
130	151	Extended Surround
253	152	Arrow Up
001	153	Arrow Down
255	154	A Speakers
003	155	B Speakers
252	156	Set Menu
095	170	Return
177	193	DVD

049	201	MD/CD-R
240	221	Pure Direct
238	222	Enter

It Worked! I programmed the remote directly with the EFC's.

Thanks for the help!
