How to get power ON to work on UEI for Harmon Kardon?

[aleksh]

1. Device: Harmon Kardon AVR 247
2. Type of device: Audio/Video Receiver
3. Year: 2007
4. JP1/UEI Remote model: UEI Atlas DVR/PVR 5-Device Universal Remote 5 button
5. Do you have a JP1 cable? No
6. Still have original remote? Yes
7. Checked the file section? Yes, no upgrade
8. Checked Pronto file section (at R/C)? Yes
9. Partially working setup code? 1306.
10. Learning remote question? This code allows me to power down and control volume just fine, however, does not allow me to power up my Harmon Kardon AVR.

There are 8 harmon upgrades in the Audio upgrades. Did you try any of them? You know it doesn't have to be an exact match on the model number for the codes to work. Heck if that were the case there wouldn't be any such thing as a universal remote.

It looks like
power on=173
power off=002

Hk amps have no normal power toggle as far as I've seen. The Original remotes all have a separate power On and OFF button. The result is most upgrades map the power off to the normal power button. The input button, usually the number keys, all function as ON buttons and will turn the receiver on and switch it to the correct input if it's off. If you want a typical toggling power button it would require faking it with a toadtog.

Just to clarify, does that mean if I press any number on my UEI keypad it should turn the HK AVR on?

Thx

Yeah that should be the way things function. Press the number that switches it to what ever input you want and it should turn on if needed and switch to that input.

power on=173
power off=002

I think the Atlas DVR remote uses 5-digit EFC's and Audio/1306 uses the NEC 2-Dev Combo protocol so the correct EFC's would be:

Power ON = 58853
Power OFF = 15077

You should be able to test this directly from the remote by pressing the appropriate device button (make sure the unit is OFF). Then press the setup button followed by "5" "8" "8" "5" "3" (make sure the remote is aimed at the unit before pressing the last "3"). If the unit powers on then you can use the "58853" code to create a key move on a button of your choosing to power up the unit.

Mark - I have not seen any 5 digit codes, all the ones in my user manual for the Atlas 5 button UEI I have has 4 digit codes. Hence the 1306 code that controls everything on the HK receiver but the Power ON.

If I program with the numbers you suggest , do I still use the UEI POWER ON button to do both the ON and OFF function?

Thanks again

Those 4 digit codes are device Setup Codes that get assigned to the device buttons and provide the basic functionality. The 5 digit numbers are "advanced codes" typically used with the remotes "key mover" function.

Did you try the test I suggested? If so, what was the result?

Mark wasn't giving you the 4 digit setup code. He's giving you a 5 digit EFC. When you have a partially working setup code, you can use an EFC, to program one key to do the desired function using the 5 digit setup code. In our lingo, that's called a key move.

Thanks for everyones help. I got it working based on the codes provided by Mark.

Thanks again.
