I just got a new Sony 60XS955 and the remote uses the Sony 15 protocol for the wide button (Sets display for Zoom, Wide Screen, Standard). In keymap the Sony 12/15 protocol readme says that you can place a one in the byte2 column and it will use Sony 15, but the byte2 column is greyed out. I placed a one in there anyway, and nothing changed, my remote (9910) still sends out the code on Sony 12. I verified this by learning the code with my 2117 and downloading it into IR.

Any help on resolving this would be great, its the only button on the Sony remote that I can't get working on my 9910.

Thanks.

Use RM and have the "Force Sony 15" check box checked.

KM doesn't have this feature for the Sony 12/15 protocol. You can force it in Sony Combo (12/15/20), though, it'll make the upgrade bigger, so it's not worth it unless you want to combine more than two device codes or Sony 15 and 20 commands.

In the Sony 12/15 protocol, the "byte 2" column is for choosing from the device code 1 and 2, not Sony 12 and 15.

What the readme actually says is:
On the Functions sheet, if you leave
the byte2 column blank, device code 1 will be used, and if you
enter a "1" in this column, device code 2 will be used.

You have to choose "OBC"-style command for using the "byte 2" column.
(I just realized this is mentioned in some other protocols, but not this one. I guess it should.)

Thanks for the responses, a day later, and few more hours of sleep and it all makes sense now. I guess I now have a good excuse to finally start using RemoteMaster. Should be able to get this working tonight now.

Thanks again.

Got the button working last night using RM, the help is much appriciated. The button was using Sony15 Device 164.

Then, you didn't need to force it. Perhaps you were using dev1=1, dev2=164 (typical Sony TV config) and what you needed was to point at the second device. So, you were in the right direction trying to set the byte 2 after all.

What does RM do when the EFC entered by the user conflicts with the selected device code and does RM automatically select the appropiate device code when an EFC is entered? (I'm at work where RM doesn't work or I'd just check it for myself).

In any mini combiner such as this:

1) If you enter an EFC or Hex cmd, RM computes the other (of EFC or Hex cmd) and also computes the OBC and the device. So when you enter the EFC you will see whether it is the right device.

2) If you select a device after entering an EFC it will keep the OBC that was computed when you entered the EFC but recompute the EFC to be consistent with the selected device.

In general, the last field you type into overrides anything in other fields that it conflicts with and preserves anything in other fields that it doesn't conflict with.
