JP1 Remotes

[jerrynmn1]

I have been using a very user friendly universal sony remote control model RM-V40A-It controls my home theatre systems various components-ie- TV, satellite receiver, dvd.vcr etc-no problems and it is simple to use and program-I just bought a new Onkyo A/V receiver model TX-SR701-The Onkyo remote control that comes with it is bulky and not user friendly to program and to use (the onkyo remote does turn the receiver on and off)-My above sony remote works everything perfectly( I am using code 033 for onkyo from the sony remote code for onkyo receivers) on the new Onkyo receiver except it will not turn the receiver off -When I try to turn the receiver off the red standby/off light on the onkyo flashes whenever I try to turn it off with the sony remote-

1) Is there any way or other codes to get my sony remote to power off the onkyo receiver? Why is there a problem? How can I fix it?
2) I don't want to end up having to use 2 remotes (the onkyo remote for power off and the sony for all other functions)-If there is no way to get the sony remote to work-what suggestions are there for a simple , user friendly (one ) remote to operate the onkyo on/off power, its functions and all my other components and their functions?

Thank you for any help-Jerry

This is the JP1 forum. We only deal with JP1 remotes. Unless somebody else is using that same Sony model, I don't think anyone here is going to be able to help you with codes, etc. Have you tried Sony tech support?

If you want suggestions on a JP1 remote, the current favorites seem to be the RadioShack 15-2116 or 15-2117 (with RF command center), and the OFA URC-8811 (a.k.a. URC-8810w available for < $20 at most Wal-Marts). Now, these remotes we know a thing or 2 about!
