You can use IntelliControl w/ those Marantz toggle
bit codes, but it does take an unreasonable amount
of effort. You need to use another remote to
merge the skip commands with a harmeless command
and learn the pair as if it were one on the IntelliControl.
The second command resets the Marantz too looking
for the "A" in an "A/B" or toggle bit pair. There's
a bit of info on this subject in some of the other
forums here. Do a search on bi-phase or RC-5
troubleshooting.
The real troubling thing we've been experiencing
w/ IntelliControl lately is a propensity to "lock
up". The remedy for the older systems was to
pad the antenna input down to the point where
spurious rf was a non issue. Thats not so easy
with the new units. Anyone else having this problem?

I am/was using the codes from the library, I did not learn them. Still had the same issues. So rather than go through some "voodoo magic" to get codes that work properly, we just changed the control system to something we know works.
Just an FYI, when we were thinking about picking up the Niles remote, we asked tech support if there would any issues with the equipment we sell, of course we got a "No issues, should work fine" answer. The answer seemed to progress towards the "Nope won't control that piece because (fill in the blank)______________", after we picked up the line.
Surprise, surprise.
