I'm looking for discrete On & Off for a .

1. Device: Philips DVP3340V/17
2. Type of device: DVD/VCR Combo
3. Year: 2007
4. JP1/UEI Remote model: RS 15-1994
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? Yes
6. Still have original remote? Yes
7. Checked the file section? Yes
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? Yes
9. Partially working setup code? Yes

(VCR portion requires Device 5)
10. Learning remote question?
Yes - I have learned some functions and figured out everything I need but discrete On/Off. I have run through all 256 EFC codes with both device 4 and 5 with no luck, so maybe I'm out of it (luck, that is)

. Is there anything else that I should try?

Ironically, this almost exact product is available labeled as a JVC but with JVC protocol. I was able to figure that out, but I need to deliver 20 of them to a client and don't have as good a source for the JVC as I do for the Philips.

Thanks

Dick

It looks like you did some experimenting with the RC-5 protocol before settling on the RC-6 protocol, is that correct? The reason I ask is because I see that you have a 2nd (104) and 3rd (5) device code entered, even though these don't do anything for the RC-6 protocol. Plus, you have data entered in the "byte2" column of the functions sheet.

Does the VCR side really use device code 5 with the RC-6 protocol, or does it really use the RC-5 protocol?

At any rate, if you've tried all 128 OBCs for both device codes, I would have to conclude that this is a TOAD device (ie, there are no discrete codes).

Do you need remotes for the 20 units that you are supplying?

Yes, I played around with several different protocols before landing on RC-6. The several buttons that I captured from the supplied remote all were identified by IR.exe as RC-6, either Device 4 or 5.

I didn't get any results w/RC-5 but might not have explored far enough. If you think it might reveal what I'm looking for, I'll spend the time. Otherwise, I'll move on.

At any rate, if you've tried all 128 OBCs for both device codes, I would have to conclude that this is a TOAD device (ie, there are no discrete codes).

That's what I've concluded. I think I'll just go with the JVC. It does what I need.

These will be going into classrooms with hardwired remotes. Some devices have RS232, these devices IR, all run by the same remote system. I will need to provide the factory remote along with the custom hardwired system.

Thanks for taking a look.
