Jon,

Worked!!! Thank you so much...errors excluded... It was such a long time for this resolution and should be the last of the difficult components left to control.

I have been setting up libraries one at a time for different components, and the DV27 was the most difficult because it variably responded with just learned IR. RC5 direct wired seemed the only way to go.

I am not quite sure I fully understand John Fine's MakeHex. It seems to be DOS based and may need some additional characters. I will work on this next.

I had been to the Arcam site many times, but did not look at the 88 thinking it was a different unit from the AV27...this is what I get for thinking too much.

Thank you again.

Cougmeister.
