Is it true I can upgrade my 9960 with a WAV file?
Right. If you can get or create the right .wav file.
Without a special IR cable?
Right.
There is no possible way I can upgrade it with
a lan line phone during work hours.
I guess you're referring to the fact that customer support will play the .wav file over the phone but won't email it to you, and the fact that the process may be picky about your type of phone connection.
I know there is new codes on the website,
So far as I have ever heard, the .wav files you can get from the website are only for non USA models of the remote. USA models, such as the 9960 are supported only by the phone method.
I guess the remote at some point does need to
be upgraded???
The "upgrade" for that remote just refers to loading a .wav file. And it can just add a few setup codes (selected for the specific device YOU have a problem with). There isn't any more complete "upgrade".
Actually I am not REAL happy with the 9960, and
was thinking of the Sony 3100 or the Harmony 659....
I think the 9960 is still better than those, but their refusal to email the .wav files does make it inconvenient.
I posted a few .wav files for the 9960 at:
[Link: hifi-remote.com]I might post others if you can be clear about which you want and I happen to have easy access to the data. Also, each of those files is for ONE device and loading a .wav file replaces the previous one (they don't merge). So if you want more than one added setup code, it needs to be made specifically for your set of devices.
You can make your own .wav files, which has significant advantages over getting one from OFA or from me. But it does require a good understanding of the JP1 software. You don't need the cable, and the software is free. But there is actually more to learn to use it via .wav file than to use it by cable.
