What makes these remotes so unique is the ability to program any key using advanced codes.
Every button that comes pre-programmed on these universal remotes has an advanced code
associated with it. In addition, there are many advanced codes for buttons that are not
pre-programmed on the remote, including some that weren't even on the original remote.
(The instructions for programming advanced codes are below).
The advanced codes that are sent out, on request, by Universal Electronics are usually in the range 257 through 738, and they appear to have been assigned in a random order. Research has shown that there are only really 256 advanced codes, and they start at number 000 and go through to 255. After that they start repeating, so 256 is the same as 000, 257 is the same as 001, etc. Additional research has shown that they are assigned in what has been termed "Original Button Code" (OBC) order. If the advanced codes for your device are listed on this site, then try them out, you might find that you can program that missing button after all. If your codes are not listed, you can contact the folks on the Radio Shack helpline on (888) 284-8735 and they will email them to you. If you do this, please then post the codes on this site. You can also search for the codes yourself. I have prepared some worksheets that should be useful for writing down the results. The codes are listed in OBC order so that when you find one code, there's a good chance that many more will be found on the adjacent codes. If you want to write down codes that other people have found, or codes from this site first, there is a cross-referrence document that lists all the possible advanced codes (sometimes referred to as EFC's - Extended Function Codes) and the associated OBC's. I recommend that you also read John Wasser's excellent page on finding advanced codes at www.John-Wasser.com/OFA. |
