JP1 Remotes

-- thanks for the help, gentlemen --

This post is so - uhh... - goofy, that I'm not sure it's worth anybody's trouble to waste their time with.

What are you trying to determine?

What is the device (DVD player? Receiver?)

Are these EFC (Advanced Codes) or OBCs, or what?

Why only certain numbers?

Why not all of them?

You will almost certainly get more help if you make it easier for a reader to figure out what you are seeking, and what you are talking about.

As it is, I can only point you HERE.

Good luck!

You should give us more of a clue about what you've done and what you're trying to do.

I almost missed the entire point by dismissing the most likely meaning of that as too improbable, leaving no meaning.

But after looking up the LiteOn LVW-5045 at RemoteCentral, I think you mean that these LiteOn devices use the same protocol and device number as typical JVC DVD's but significantly different EFC numbers.

Sorting that data from the 5045 by EFC has quite a lot of overlap with your list. The first few EFCs are:

040 = right
060 = 1
069 = 7
070 = up
073 = 0
109 = Enter
111 = Stop

JoeTheZombie wrote: -- fill in the blanks if you know them --

I think you need to fill in a few blanks first.

Or get that 5045 file from lite-dvdr-lvw5045.zip and use DecodeCCF to grab that data (which might match what you want).

Cheese and crackers, gentlemen. On this very website are advanced codes listings. Device code 0558 is what the Liteon 5115 uses. Since I am not JP1 enabled, I must use advanced codes to program the keys to make any meaning. The 5045 file only contains very basic keys. This post is a complete list of the advanced codes available for the 5115, hence the bloody title.

Once again, I fail to understand your question. Bloody cheese and crackers right back atcha!

You seem to be asking "What functions are executed by these EFCs?" Why are you only interested in what those particular EFCs do? (I suppose you could just test them, couldn't you? - i.e. Press the Magic (or shift, or setup) button, followed by the three-digit EFC).

And why only THOSE few EFCs? Why are you not interested in any others?

The normal type of questions would be "What EFC's execute these functions?" - and then the questioner provides a list of functions.

What are you trying to accomplish? What remote are you using?

Real sentences with complete phrases and understandable thoughts would be appreciated.

IF, on the other hand, this is NOT a request for information, but some sort of clever, cutesy way of providing information to the forum in the form of a "game", I fear your cleverness and ingenuity is quite lost on me.

Sorry, I must just be a bit slow today (some would contend EVERY day)

Here's a few more from that web page I linked before:

016 strobe
028 zoom (toggle)
030 video fine processing
032 3D phonic control
033 digest
035 back slow
036 play (also 108)
040 pause/step frame
047 player front panel lights; region menu???
048 subtitles/language
051 angle
108 play
112 return
133 back fast
134 forward fast
157 scene forward (next scene)
159 forward slow
161 scene back
162 resume
164 disc drawer open/close
165 power (toggle)
171 stop
173 "on screen" (DVD player control) (toggle)
175 menu/title
177 menu/title
239 pause

Because those EFCs are the only ones to which the device will respond.

Which is exactly what I have done to "fill in the blanks"; as was the original question. I just didn't want to do it if the work had been done previously. It's a moot point now... I've done the work regardless. I apologize if the original post was vague, but I do not understand how anyone could misinterpret an obvious key table corresponding to a specified device.

ETA: The codes you provide are not valid for the LiteOn 5115.

Well excuse me for tyring to help

JoeTheZombie wrote:On this very website are advanced codes listings.

But for each setup code that list is for devices that actually fit that setup code.

Including devices that can be kludged into the setup code by remapping all the basic functions, would confuse more people than it would help.

JoeTheZombie wrote:Device code 0558 is what the Liteon 5115 uses.

I think that is an streach of the truth.

Setup code DVD/0558 can be used for the Liteon 5115, but most (maybe all) of the key mappings would be wrong.

Without a JP1 cable, and without a model of remote that accepts .wav files upgrades and without sending an upgradable model in to get the right setup code added, kludging DVD/0558 may be your last remaining option.

JoeTheZombie wrote:I must use advanced codes to program the keys to make any meaning.

We got that part. It still doesn't answer Capn's questions, nor mine.

Capn Trips wrote:Well excuse me for tyring to help

No excuse is necessary; I genuinely appreciate your attention. It is sometimes hard to communicate when all we have is the written word. Now if we were setting face to face at a table over beer-- well, that would be a much better atmosphere for communication.

JoeTheZombie wrote: Which is exactly what I have done to "fill in the blanks";

Thanks. Now if anyone else searches for info on the 5115, it is available.

JoeTheZombie wrote:as was the original question. I just didn't want to do it if the work had been done previously.

We rarely have exact model matches to a request. Someone with an exact model match could easily have answered your question without worrying about all the contextual information you left out.

The experts here usually try to answer such questions even though we have no exact match (the work hadn't already been done). Toward that end it helps to have some clue about the context of the question.

JoeTheZombie wrote: ETA: The codes you provide are not valid for the LiteOn 5115.

Hopefully by now any other experts reading this thread understand the most important piece of context:

Your device uses the same protocol and internal device number as setup code DVD/0558 (typical JVC DVD) but uses an entirely different set of EFC numbers.

Of course we would never expect a non-jp1'er to use any phrase similar to "same protocol and internal device number" to descripe that. But I think it still could be described (setup code DVD/0558 sort of works, but all the keys are wrong and must be remapped by EFC number).

JoeTheZombie wrote: It is sometimes hard to communicate when all we have is the written word.

Yes, dammit, written communication is such a poor communication tool, particularly when "we" don't know how to use that written word properly and effectively (or are simply too lazy to do so).

If that is the case, why even list the advanced codes?

Setup code DVD/0558 can be used for the Liteon 5115, but most (maybe all) of the key mappings would be wrong.

Nonetheless, the device key on the remote must be set to 0558 for the LiteOn to be controlled. Call it a stretch, but it is factual. Yes, the buttons make no sense, nor do most of them even function, but 0558 contains the advanced codes that I need.

Indeed that is the case. My "kludged" 0558 is now controlling all functions of the player to perfection.

As the work has been done, it's now all a just an exersize, but exactly what questions do you have that have not been answered?

???

I am indeed sorry to have offended, if that is the case.

JoeTheZombie wrote: If that is the case, why even list the advanced codes?

The main point of an advanced codes list is for "advanced" functions that aren't mapped to any key by the basic setup code.

Maybe you have an OFA remote without an eject button, or a zoom button or some other important buttons that your DVD player needs. The basics like play and stop may work, but you want the rest. The advanced codes list helps you solve that.

JoeTheZombie wrote: As the work has been done, it's now all a just an exersize, but exactly what questions do you have that have not been answered?

Now that you've done the work, no questions that matter are left.

Some of the questions were answered in the lag between when I posted and when my post showed up (for me at least, that lag is a lot worse today than usual). That includes the big question of where your list of interesting EFC numbers came from. The biggest question left if we were still trying to help you, is which model of OFA remote.
