JP1 Remotes

Hello,

I need help! First a little background. I purchased a used Yamaha HTR-5860 receiver, and it did not come with a remote. So I tried code 0176 on my URC-6130. Some of the buttons worked, but the power button and the arrow keys for the menu did not. I have tried a lot of different stuff. I tried code 1176, I tried both codes with the alternate code setting in the receiver. I tried copying the Pronto Hex codes into Omniremote, but the hex codes did the same thing as code 0176 in the URC-6130. I also tried to upload the upgrade listed below into the remote. http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload ... le_id=2720
But I could not even get the basic interface working on my PC (I'll post that question in another forum).

So now the only thing that I can think of to try is to convert the RMDU file from above into Pronto hex that I can use in Omniremote. I understand that makehex.exe can do that. However I haven't been able to find detailed instructions on how. For instance, what device code should I use? I plan on using the nec1.ird file, is that correct? What format do the functions need to be in? What fields do I need to extract from the RMDU file to create the functions?

Any and all comments, suggestions, and/or help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Derek

You could get a copy of the RemoteMaster Java program and open that .rmdu yourself. But it was easy enough for me to extract the relevent info from that file for you.

It is (as you guessed) NEC1 protocol, so you use NEC1.irp

It is device 122.

The individual functions from that .rmdu file are pasted below. If you use MakeHex, use the Fun# listed there and ignore EFC. An alternative is to use EFC numbers directly in your 6130, which can be done even without a JP1 cable (directly with the keyboard of the 6130).

It Worked! I programmed the remote directly with the EFC's.

Thanks for the help!
