Thanks for the info about your Denon RC-973 remote.
Basicly the problem you have controling the Denon is this:
- your Denon has 2 keys for Power On and Off - the Kameleon has at the moment of writing 1 Power key (which works for "Power Off" if I'm not mistaken)
Solution: program the second and missing Power key (= "Power On") on your Kameleon.
There are two ways to program extra functions on your Kameleon: - Learning - Key Magic (in the manuals of US remotes often called Key Move)
The Learning is well explained in the manual, can't do it better here. Key Magic is also well explained, however, it doesn't list the code numbers you need, you have to ask OFA customer support because every setup code has for every function it own numbers.
The learning methode seems therefore the easier solution, however, I would recommend to use "Key Magic" instead, because there is a good change that your Denon contains a hidden gem and if it does, the Kameleon is capable to reveal it with help of "Key Magic".
Some Denon's have a single Power key that allows to Power On & Off with the same key (we call this "Power Toggle"). Some (including your Denon) have separate On & Off keys. However, many Denon Home Cinema's support both methods. Lets find out if your Denon also does.
First you need the codes (often called "function codes" or "Key Magic codes") for Power in Audio code 1460:
- Power Off: 67453 - Power On: 67517 - Power (On/Off toggle): 67513
"Power Off" (=67453) is already programmed on your Kameleon, "Power On" is still missing, for "Power" (toggle) we still have to find out if your Denon supports it.
As mentioned above, programming "Key Magic" is explained in your Kameleon manual, however, it is also possible to test codes without programming a key.
If your are in Audio mode (important! it won't work when you are in DVD mode), you can press the "Magic key" (or hat) once and let go (don't press it long,the rabbit has to stay in the hat) and then enter the code number. At the moment you enter the last digit, the Kameleon will send the IR command that code represents.
Please make sure your Kameleon is pointed at your Denon when you enter the last digit, you can hold down the last digit if you want to, the Kameleon will send the IR command untill you release the button.
Bill, can you test all three Power commands on your Denon? Please note that it is quite easy to make a mistype while testing, so if a code doesn't seem to work, just try it again and hold down the last digit longer. Or program the codes on keys and then test the keys (please see the "Key Magic" chapter in the Kameleon manual).
