URC-6541 "Audio Zapper"
Posted: Fri Dec 17, 2004 9:43 am
This is an informational post. I recently received a URC-6541 "Audio Zapper" remote from England (thanks Andy). These "zapper" remotes are tiny remote with very few buttons, they have the bank of vol/ch buttons that are common for European remotes and in addition they have a POWER button and the transport keys, and that's it. Well, actually, the RECORD button has been replaced with an "F" (for Function) button which supposedly will select the right input on the audio receiver.
This one has four device buttons, including three audio buttons: TUN, CD and MD and one "video" button: TAPE (Tape codes are grouped in with VCR codes).
The main reason for this post is to document how you perform 9xx type commands on this remote. Basically you use a combination of the vol/ch buttons:
975: ch-, vol-, vol+
976: ch-, vol-, vol-
980: ch-, vol+, vol-
981: ch-, vol+, vol+ (not in manual)
990: ch-, ch-, ch+
991: ch-, ch-, ch-
992: ch-, ch-, vol+
993: ch-, ch+, vol+ (set's the VPT - not in manual)
993: ch-, ch-, vol- (turns VPT off for 1 device - not in manual)
994: ch-, ch+, ch-
F: ch-, ch+, vol-
The "994" command can't be used to program advanced codes, you just use it to "locK" a button in place, thus allowing you to change the setup code and the button won't change, but this does format a traditional keymove in the E2, so a JP1 user would be free to program traditional keymoves using advanced codes.
Oh yeah, like most European JP1 remotes, the 6-pin connector is upside down (from our POV)
