I just joined this Forum as I have some problems with my remotes. Maybe some of you have some advice for me.
I was looking for an affordable universal remote with PC programming. Tested Harmony but I'm not to keen on the quiz style programming. At the end I went for an old Denon RC7000 with the half finished software. I like it a lot but there is a problem with my VU+ satellite receiver.
This has a strange (bit flipping) remote code format which is hard to learn. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I would like to "read in" and clean up the code generated by the VU+ remote and send this cleaned up code to my Denon for learning.
In the documentation for the Code Manager Tool there is drawing for a 3.5 mm stereo plug based optical coupler. Could someone advise me what sort of an IR receiver diode do I need for that?
If reading the codes are done, how can I send codes as an IR sample out of the computer? Although I have the Denon RC7001 Serial Extender with IR Blasters, the format is unknown and so I don't think I can utilize this out of Code Manager as an IR sender.
Please don't treat my questions dead serious. I know that there are specialist with the right tools to do this. It is more of an experiment if this can be done with a small budget or not. (The Code Manager PDF suggests, it can be done.)
