Power ON/OFF for Panasonic Air Conditioner

I have a URC-8820L that I love, which I programmed to do almost everything I wanted without using the JP programming. However, now I want to teach it to operate the Panasonic AC I have, which is controlled by an IR remote control. I taught the 8820L to do everything, except for power ON/OFF. The learning feature does not allow device keys to be taught (I am using AUX for the AC). I tried the CODE SEARCH (Ch. +) but that failed.
How can I find the POWER ON/OFF for this Panasonic AC for my URC-8820L?

Thanks,

It won't learn on the Power key of the 8820 in AUX mode? You could also learn on any other non-device key.

So learn it to another button then.

That worked, but it is a little disappointing having to remember a different mode of operation for the AC.
Oh well...

Do you have a JP1.2 cable? If so, you can download your remote's IR image and edit that learned key to be on the Power Button in Aux mode, if you wish.

Why do you need to use a different device mode for the AC? You can learn the AC buttons to whichever device mode you like.

Rob, I think the OP was refering to mode of operation, and not device mode. The power command is on a different key then the other devices power commands on the remote.
