Bose Cinemate 2 and Comcast UR

[woh]

Just to be clear, the red button remote is a JP1.3 flash remote. The 6700 A grey button remote is a JP1.2 flash remote.

I'm still not there. I think we are on different page My device is a Comcast 1067CBC3-0001-R as imprinted in the battery compartment. The 'RemoteChart.xls' says that the Comcast 1067BG0 is a JP1.1 Is the Spread Sheet wrong?

[3FG]

I think it is incorrect. The remote signature identifies the firmware in a remote. The spreadsheet lists three remotes as having 1009 as a signature, and 2 of them are listed as having a HCS08 processor and one is listed as a SST processor. But the community here downloads and uploads to remotes frequently, and we know that signature 1009 has firmware associated with a HCS08 processor, and which has the JP1.2 interface.

I have 4 red button Comcast remotes. None of them have 1067BX3 written in the battery compartment, and only one has "1067" anywhere in the label. So I wouldn't spend too much time analyzing the label.

I don't know for sure, but I guess much of the information of lines 43 and 45 should be interchanged.

OK thanks.
By the way the remotes from Comcast are now labeled Xfinity.

Your right it is fun!!!!


Below is a list of possible of EFC's for your TV. Your remote uses 5 digit efc's so you are going to need to pad these with a 00 (00efc), so input would be 00090. EFC's should not be confused with setup codes. These efcs work with the setup code 11758.

Select TV
tap setup
type in the 5 digit efc while remote is pointed at the TV and see if you can find the codes you want from the list below.

Great Thanks. The above codes work perfect when in TV device.
I was able to program TV device buttons.
But I can not make the codes work when in NOT TV device mode. Must be because it's a different device code. As per implied in your note above

I think what I really want is to switch the TV input when I select the device (top device buttons) Ultimately I want a non-techi to be able to operate all of this without a hassle.

Well yes,getting the remote to be operable intuitively is the ultimate goal.

As you said, testing the EFC's only work in TV mode.
Now that you've found the codes that you need to switch the TV mode you'll want to put them where you need them.

You'll need to read this
Manual Programming quick reference guide
and scroll down to where it says
Assign Advanced Code 994 - EFC (two device modes)

Until you get your cable you are limited as to what you can get the remote to do.

Until you get your cable you are limited as to what you can get the remote to do.

Got it These remotes are pretty flexible.

Two last questions before I dive into the details of programming with a cable
1. Some of the buttons when pressed do not blink the device button. These buttons appear not programmable. Is there a way to activate them?

2. Where can I find the EFC's that are listed above? Just generally how is the information organized so I understand how to help myself?

1. They're all programmable and will work if you assign an advanced code, key move, etc.

2. Install RM (see beginners stickies) and with it you can read all the files in the device upgrades area of the file section. That's where the EFC's came from. Use the protocol and device info from those files and the lookup tool to find the correct device setup code with which to use them.

Yes, that's why we liked them even before we found that we could hack them with a cable.

The device LED won't blink or may just flicker if there is no function assigned as a keymove, macro or in the underlying setup code.

2. Where can I find the EFC's that are listed above? Just generally how is the information organized so I understand how to help myself?

You'll want to download RemoteMaster (RM) and the associated java libraries, and if you have Microsoft Excel, you should download the KeymapMaster (KM) spreadsheet as well. Remotemaster can open both KM and RM files, but it only outputs Rdmu (RM) files.

Both RM and KM are in the File Section-> Tools-> Main

Then you look in the Devices Upgrade Section for the individual upgrades for your equipment. If you don't know what category to look in or if you don't find an upgrade, I strongly suggest using the FILE SEARCH feature. Opening up a KM or RM.rdmu file, you'll see the efc's listed on the functions tab. You can format an upgrade for your remote, or you can use the EFC's to create supplementary keymoves.

thanks to all of you.
you have been a great help.

This is as far as I want to go with this thread. I'll open another thread if I have specific questions. Until then I have a lot of reading to do 'til my cable arrives.

The TV is a Vizio VF551XVT, the code I put into the Comcast Remote (red button) is 11758. It all works, except I can not select the input (labeled. HDMI, Comp, AV, TV on the Vizio remote) I'm thinking I can program the bottom three buttons for PIP to HDMI, COMP & TV since that is what I use. It's the only thing I use the TV remote for.

Below is a list of possible of EFC's for your TV. Your remote uses 5 digit efc's so you are going to need to pad these with a 00 (00efc), so input would be 00090. EFC's should not be confused with setup codes. These efcs work with the setup code 11758.

Select TV
tap setup
type in the 5 digit efc while remote is pointed at the TV and see if you can find the codes you want from the list below.

Code: Select all

input	090
TV Input	110
comp	231
comp 1	137
comp 2	135
comp 3	139
comp 4	132

What upgrade file did you use to find the above EFC's I tried several, but none are as detailed as you show here.

I don't know, the history on this computer gets erased on reboot, so I can't tell which links I visited. I think it was probably this one
